The aftercooler electrical requirements are listed on the equipment data tag and in Figure 5. If there are any discrepan­cies between the data tag and Figure 5, use the information on the tag.
Remove the cover from the electrical junction box on the aftercooler motor. Using FIGURE 5 as reference, make the necessary wiring connections. Several ways to wire the unit are listed below. Make the connections for the pertinent application(s).
1. DEDICATED POWER SUPPLY AND DISCONNECT
Install a properly sized fused disconnect before the aftercooler. Make the necessary wire connections and re­install the junction box cover.
2. INTERLOCKED WITH COMPRESSOR MOTOR STARTER
The aftercooler can be interlocked with the air compressor starter. This allows the aftercooler to operate only when the air compressor is operating.
If a set of auxiliary, normally open contacts is available on the air compressor magnetic starter, make necessary wiring connections from the contacts to the aftercooler.
If a set of auxiliary contacts is not available, use a properly sized contactor. Wire the contactor's holding coil in parallel with the air compressor starter holding coil. Make the necessary wiring connections from the contactor to the aftercooler.
4.7-1 FAN MOTOR ROTATION
The rotation of the fan motor(s) is important. Units with 3 phase power should be checked for proper rotation after installation.
Energize the unit. Observe the rotation and air flow direction. Reference Section 3.2 for air flow direction. If the fan(s) do not pull the air across the core, turn off the unit and switch two of the main power legs.

MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT PARTS SECTION 6
6.0 MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES, TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER AND COMPLETELY DEPRESSURIZE THE UNIT. FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
NEVER REMOVE, REPAIR, OR REPLACE ANY ITEM ON THIS UNIT WHILE IT IS UNDER PRESSURE.
NEVER REMOVE THE FAN GUARD WHILE THE AFTERCOOLER IS OPERATING. PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THE ROTATING FAN BLADE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
6.1 CORE EXTERIOR CLEANING
The core should be regularly cleaned. Accumulation of dirt or other contaminants such as oils will greatly reduce the efficiency of the aftercooler.
Normal accumulation of dirt can be removed by blowing off the core with compressed air. If the core becomes contaminated with oil-laden particles, it can be steam cleaned. Clean with extreme care. The aluminum fins can be easily damaged.
6.2 CORE INTERIOR CLEANING
If the compressed air system contains excessive lubricating fluids, build-up may occur. The interior of the core may be cleaned to remove the deposits by circulating a mild cleaning solution through the core. For most conditions, a mild alkaline solution such as OAKITE or equal, is satisfactory. For extreme conditions, it might be necessary to use a weak solution of INHIBITED hydrochloric acid.
6.3 MOTOR LUBRICATION
This unit is equipped with a sleeve bearing motor. The sleeve bearings will require lubrication at least every 6 months. Add a few drops of S.A.E. 20 oil to each bearing.
