5. PRE-START PROCEDURES
f
Examine the machine for signs of transport damage.
Report any damage immediately to the company
which delivered the compressor.
f
Verify that the tanks have been drained and are clear
of any moisture or dirt.
f
The compressor should be set up near the working
consumer.
f
Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
f
Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
f
Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
f
The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms
(with good ventilation and an ambient temperature
from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids,
vapours, explosive gases or inflammable gases in
the room.
f
The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms.
It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where
work is conducted with sprayed water.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Start-Up Procedures
1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2. Verify that the tank air pressure is at 0 PSI.
3. Attach the air hose to the discharge line.
4. Plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet.
5. Push the ON/OFF switch to ON. The ON/OFF switch
will light-up to indicate the compressor is on.
The compressor will automatically cycle on and off
to keep the tank pressure maintained .
6. Adjust the pressure regulator to the proper pressure
setting required for the air tool.
6.2 Shut-Off Procedures
1. Push in the On/Off switch to the Off position.
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning! Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the appliance.
Warning! Wait until the compressor has completely
cooled down. Risk of burns.
Warning! Always depressurize the tank before carrying
out any cleaning and maintenance work.
7.1 Cleaning
f
Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or
blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
f
We recommend that you clean the appliance
immediately after you use it.
f
Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts
in the appliance. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the appliance.
f
You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools
from the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean
the compressor with water, solvents or the like.
7.2 Draining tank
The condensation water must be drained off each day
by opening the drain valve (ref. D) (on the bottom of the
pressure vessel) (Fig. 2).
1. Verify that the compressor is turned Off.
2. Holding the handle, tilt the compressor toward the
drain valve so that it’s set in a lower position.
3. Open gently the drain valve.
4. Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture
has been removed.
5. Close the drain valve.
Warning! The condensation water from the
pressure vessel will contain residual oil. Dispose of the
condensation water in an environmentally compatible
manner at the appropriate collection point.
7.3 Safety valve (ref. F)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted
pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust
the safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate the safety
valve from time to time to ensure that it works when
required. Pull the ring with sufficient force (Fig. 3) until you
can hear the compressed air being released. Then release
the ring again.
7.4 Storage
Warning! Pull the mains plug out of the socket and
ventilate the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools.
Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is secured
in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any
unauthorized person.
Warning! Store the compressor only in a dry location
which is not accessible to unauthorized persons.
Always store upright, never tilted.
8. DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
The unit and its accessories are made of various types of
material, such as metal and plastic. Defective components
must be disposed of as special waste. Ask your dealer or
your local council.
MAINTENANCE
Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear as
possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and blow
through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive build-up
of metal dust can cause tracking of electrical current from
the internal parts to exposed metal parts.
