Before any starter is taken out of service
first bleed the air receiver of air and any
moisture that may have accumulated by
opening up the drain valve. Do not bleed
by removing the receiver plugs.
Remove air hoses to ensure complete
safety once the air supply has been
isolated and the receiver has been bled.
The air receiver must be manufactured to
an applicable pressure vessel code such
as AS1210 or similar.
Only use air hoses and fittings that are of
adequate

5. Ensure the hoses, fittings and starter ports
are clean and free from dirt and foreign
objects. Ensure they remain so during
installation.
6. For optimum AUSTART starter performance,
ensure air supply pipes or hoses have an
internal diameter of at least 1" (25mm)
refer Installation Schematic on page 6. If
the main supply line length is greater than
15ft (5m) a size of 1-1/2" (40mm) should be
used. Keep the number of fittings and the
length of piping to a minimum. Avoid the
use of reducing bushes and other fittings
that could impede air flow.
