6. Manually open the stop valve on the oil

FIGURE 7.
OIL SEPARATOR BLEED LINE
NOTE:
The purpose of the oil bleed return assembly
is to collect any oil that passes through the
oil separating element and returns that oil to
the compressor. The hand expansion valve
should be adjusted to prevent an oil level
from forming in the sight glass when the
compressor is at 100% capacity. Generally
1/2 to 1 turn open is satisfactory.
7. Open 1/4” high pressure gas line
valve piped to oil injection line just
enough to quiet compressor at 100%
capacity.
E. Compressor Pre Start-Up Check List
Before proceeding with actual starting of
the compressor, the items listed on the “Pre
Start-Up Check List” must be verified. Time
and money will be saved before the Vilter
start-up technician arrives. (See next page.)
