This summary of air compressor restart preparations for resuming work is intended to ensure a safe and smooth restart of your compressor. It contains key operating points and precautions. We hope this guide will help you resume work smoothly.

The Preparation for Restarting Air Compressor

Before starting up
1. Electrical and wiring inspection: Check that wiring connections are secure and free of damage or short circuits; measure the motor insulation resistance.
2. Lubrication system inspection: Check that the oil level is between the oil dipstick marks. If the machine has been down for an extended period, it is recommended to replace the lubricating oil and oil filter.
3. Control system and valve inspection: After powering on, check that the controller display is normal. Confirm that the exhaust valve is fully open.
4. Cooling system preparation: Start the cooling water circulation system of the water-cooled unit to ensure it is unobstructed. Inspect the radiator of the air-cooled unit and clean any dust.
5. Intake inspection: Clean or inspect the air filter to prevent blockage.
6. Pipe inspection: Check all pipe connections for leaks.

Startup
1. Critical step: Before officially starting up, perform a jog operation. This helps establish oil circulation and prevent dry running of the engine head.
2. Observation and emergency procedures: During jog and startup, pay close attention to the machine's rotation direction and listen for any unusual noises. If you notice a rapid temperature rise accompanied by unusual noises, immediately stop the machine and restart it.

Post-Operation
1. Check operating parameters: After starting the air compressor, do not immediately operate it at full capacity. Run it at no load for a while and carefully check that the exhaust pressure, exhaust temperature, and current are normal.
2. Perform scheduled inspections: After the equipment has stabilized, perform regular inspections, recommended at least once an hour. Focus on: exhaust temperature, oil level, leaks, and unusual noises.
