BOGE Operating instructions for C 15 series screw compressors

Connecting the
compressor to the
compressed air network

–

Connect the compressor to the compressed air network or a compressed
air receiver.

For this, use a BOGE high pressure hose.

Remove cladding

–

Lift off top cover (1) (for super silenced version only).

–

Loosen cabinet bolts (2) above lateral sheets and backwall and remove
cladding.

Fig. 3.4: Remove cladding (illustration shows super silenced version)

NOTICE!

Do not install a check valve in the pressure line.
The compressor is already equipped with a check valve.

WARNING: Risk of injury!

Make sure to always wear protective gloves to protect yourself against any
sharp edges and corners on covering components!

WARNING!

To avoid damages to the cooler you must counter the screw connections at
the compressed air outlet with a spanner.
