It is simple.
Contact the manufacturer or dealer and ask if they can get approval or provide written confirmation that the soft start will not void the warranty. They will most likely have to install it to protect the warranty. But once outside the warranty it is a no brainer.

Soft starts or VSDs are usually an option on new compressors these days.
