gfedc

18. Test the operation of the low oil pressure shutdown. gfedc

19. Verify there is an oil cooler and high temperature shutdown for the oil into the compressor frame. gfedc

20. Check the setpoint for the high compressor oil temperature- 190°F (88°C) maximum. gfedc

21. Check the installation of the temperature control valve ( blending mode is prefered). gfedc

22. Check the crankcase breather element to insure it is open to atmosphere and clean. gfedc

23. Check the force feed lubricator box for proper level. gfedc

24. Prime the force feed lubrication system. gfedc

25. Verify the operation of the force feed lubrication system no flow shutdown. gfedc

26. Check and record the color of the force feed blow out disc. See Lubrication section of the TechnicalManual for disc ratings.

gfedc

27. Check the lubricator instruction plate or "Parts Book" Cylinder Lubrication Sheet for proper lube feedrate. Record the recommended rates.
