Introduction to Products and Description
Thank you very much for choosing and using GS series screw air compressor. Please read the user's
manual carefully before operating the machine.
GS series screw compressor is an electric screw air compressor that is an air cooled unit. This
compressor is designed for indoor use only and only be installed by a licensed electrician only.
Description on the compressor
The GS screw compressor manufactured in Minneapolis MN is an achievement of many years’
research and development. Since being in the air compressor business since 1964 we understand the
importance of a rugged long lasting screw air compressor.
The machines and units of the series must be operated in accordance to the technical
conditions and must be operated compliance with the range of application and guideline specified in
the operation manual. The operators shall have strong safety awareness and fully recognize the risks
during the operation of the machines. Any functional breakdowns, especially those that will threaten
the safety, must be repaired by a licensed service technician.
Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER
FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES (NOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES EVEN IF SUCH PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY PROVISION HAS BEEN FREELY NEGOTIATED AND THAT THIS LIMITATION

Maintenance
The compressor must be carefully maintained to meet various requirements for screw compressors
or compressor units. The machines, therefore, must be carefully maintained during the specified
maintenance period, especially in bad working conditions such as dusty or dirty environments.
Only manufactured parts are to be put in the units. Contact GS Compressor for any products or
service you will need and they can be ordered or you will be advised on a local distributor.
In following the conditions, warranty claims will not be accepted:





Misuse of the compressor
Improper maintenance
Misuse of materials
Nonuse of the original manufactured parts.
Modifying the equipment
Safety rules
Safety rules in the operation guideline shall be strictly abided by.
Technical modification
We reserve the right to modify all parts without prior notification during the process of technical
research and development.
Note: Compressors are made for individual specifications and customers questions need to
addressed to the manufacturer to ensure the correct technical data is valid. Please call GS
Compressor at 1-877-631-9058 for specific questions.
Operating Principle
A complete operating cycle of the screw air compressor includes the compressor making air by the
inlet opening and shutting along with the compressor going into standby and then turning itself on
when there is a need for air. The compressor will cycle by itself.
a) Procedure of Cycling: As the rotor begins to rotate, one end of the rotor gradually rotates
to form a barrier. This cycle continues until the unit goes into standby,
b) b) Procedure of compression: As the rotor is rotating, barrier between rotors continuously
reduces as rotating rotors mesh. Reduction in volume of the air in the sealed airend between
rotors causes pressure to rise. Thereby the procedure of air compression is carried out.
c) Procedure of standby: As the barrier between rotors continuously reduces, the air with
exhausting pressure is reduced though he inlet. The inlet slowly closes telling the airend to
stop making pressure and gradually goes into standby. Going into standby to fast will create
the air to diminish through every possible outlet causing the inlet to prematurely fail and the
compressor to leak air.

Warning:
According to the power, voltage and electrical spikes in your facility please consult with your electrician to
determine the correct voltage and breaker box that best suits your needs.
Proper breaker shall be installed by a professional electrician according to the power and voltage of the air
compressor to protect the electrical system, which is shown in the picture below
External Breaker
The air compressor must be properly grounded to avoid the electrical spikes and danger to the end user.
The air compressor needs to be wired with its own external breaker large enough for the full load current amps.
Any transformers, external buck boost or phase converter need to be discussed with a licensed election as not to
damage to the compressor or the end user.
In order to avoid the damage caused by jolt during the process of storage and transportation during delivery the
compressor has bolts fastened to the motor to prevent damage to the unit. Once the compressor is installed the
bolts need to be removed to allow the compressor room for vibration.

Setting up the new machine must be operated by appointed or authorized person by the company.
Operators must read, comprehend and follow the relevant operating procedures, warnings and
maintenance specifications in the manual.
The air compressor shall not be arbitrarily altered or modified from its original version
Air compressor shall be operated indoor, with good ventilation and a temperature that is less than 90° F.
The installation technician shall ensure all wires in the electrical panel are tight and did not get loose in
the event shipping.

It is strictly prohibited that the compressor starts under pressure
Keep the coolant between the range of upper and lower limits of the oil indicator on the sump.
It is strictly prohibited to examine and repair the electrical equipment and breaker unless the power is
off
It is strictly prohibited to repair the internal components while under pressure.
Cleansers which are inflammable, explosive and corrosive cannot be used to maintain and clean the


The floor on which the compressor is mounted should be capable of carrying the weight of compressor and should
be flat and dry. There is no need to fixing (anchorage bolt etc) to the floor.
The compressor room should be easily accessible and sufficiently lite.
For adequate service, the compressor room should have a clearance of at least three (3) feet on all sides
Fire and corrosion causing conditions should be prevented in the operation region.
No pipe load (swaggering connections or tensions arise from environmental variations) should be relayed to
compressor by external connections.
Make sure that the air supply equipment is suitable to the operating pressure of the piping and fittings and is
damage free.
Select the diameter of the air supply, dryer and line filters according to your air supply capacity. (It is beneficiary to
select piping of big diameter considering future development of your company).
Establish a separate line for condense discharge of your filter and dryer and air tanks (water discharge line); this
way the floor of the compressor operating place does not unnecessarily get wet.
Put an air exit and electric box in your compressor room for general purposeYour compressor is manufactured for
indoor operation.
In case of different needs in relation to compressor or air supply contact service or sale representative.
Always place compressor on a rubber mat to reduce vibration
Ensure you soft pipe the air outlet to reduce vibration
COMPRESSOR ROOM VENTILATION
 In order to maintain the operation temperature at a specific value, place your compressor at a place that adequate
air flow is provided. The temperature that compressor operates should be at least 50° F.
 If you think that there will not be sufficient amount of air flow in the room of operation; it is necessary to make room
ventilation or you must discharge the outgoing hot air to the outside. When doing this, the outgoing hot air of
compressor should not return. For this reason, the hot air outlet and room air inlet should not be on the same side.
If necessary, use a fan for discharging the hot air from the room. Place this fan to the closest point of the
compressor hot air outlet
 Avoid the compressor room being subjected to heat or dust emitted by central heating boiler or generator type of
equipment

Long term Storage
Equipment should be sealed if it is shutdown for a long period of time.
 Clean the equipment with non-corrosive cleaner
 Electric equipment such as motor, and electrical panel should be stored dry.
 All coolant should be drained from the system to ensure internal components do not rust.
 Cover the equipment with proper storage material
 Once compressor is ready for startup maintenance should be performed and the airend should be
flooded with coolant and hand turned 3-4 times to ensure the airend does not lock up
