Operating ASU-600 Series Jet Starters at Altitudes other than Sea Level The continuous screw compressor operates with a maximum pressure differential. Therefore, at higher altitudes where the ambient pressure is lower, the unit will automatically decrease the delivered air pressure if the maximum outlet pressure for that barometric pressure is lower than the standard delivered air pressure. Also, the less dense air will result in a lower mass flow rate through the compressor. See the chart below for maximum pressure and flow at various altitudes; expect observed pressure to be 1-2 psi less and flow to be slightly lower.

Note: Flow rates are corrected for barometric pressure only and will degrade further at temperatures above 68°F (20°C).

1. General Whenever making repairs to the unit or to its components, it is important to follow general mechanic's guidelines for tightening fasteners. The information provided in Chart 5 and Chart 6 covers standard fastener torque values. Observe the following precautions when installing fasteners:

CAUTION:

DO NOT USE THESE VALUES IF A DIFFERENT TORQUE VALUE OR TIGHTENING PROCEDURE IS LISTED FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION. THE TORQUE VALUES LISTED ARE FOR GENERAL USE ONLY.

FASTENERS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME OR HIGHER GRADE AND TIGHTENED TO THE STRENGTH OF THE ORIGINAL.

MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE FASTENER THREADS ARE CLEAN AND PROPERLY ENGAGED TO AVOID POSSIBLE FAILURE WHEN TIGHTENED.

NOTE: “Lubricated” means coated with engine oil or other lubricant. “Dry” means plain or zinc plated without any lubrication.

NOTE: Tighten nylon insert lock nuts to approximately 50 percent of the value listed.
