OPERATION AND USE
POSITIONING:
Do not stand the compressor on any surface
with a 15° or greater tilt as this will lead to
possible running problems.
Allow a minimum gap of 50cm around the
compressor to aid connection and airflow.
In addition to pneumatic air tools, your
compressor may be connected to several
accessories suitable for blowing, washing
and spraying for example.
For technical specifications and detailed
instructions, please refer to the instructions
provided with the individual accessory.
After unpacking the compressor for the first
time it will be necessary to remove the plastic
transit bung and replace it with the supplied
dipstick.
NOTE: It is advisable to store this bung,
should the compressor require transporting
in the future.
Make sure that the level of oil ranges
between the max. and the min. mark (
Fig.1
).
After the first 50 working hours, replace the
oil with one of those listed (see page 10).
When the installation procedure is complete,
the compressor is ready for use. Make sure
the pressure switch is positioned 'OFF'. Switch
on the power then position the pressure
switch to the 'ON' position to start the
compressor (
Fig.2
).
When starting the compressor for the first
time, leave it running for about 10 minutes
with the drain cock
(A)
open (
Fig.3
).
DA25/190 does not have a tap. Instead, run
for 10 minutes with a coupling inserted into
the connector.
After this time, ensure the drain cock
(A)
is
closed correctly. Make sure that pressure in
the tank is correct and that the compressor
stops automatically when the max. pressure is
reached. The pressure is monitored on gauge
(B)
(
Fig.4
).
This operation is automatically controlled by
the pressure switch which stops the motor
when the max. pressure allowed is achieved,
and starts it again when the pressure goes
below the minimum threshold (about 2 bar
less than the max. pressure).
Never unplug the compressor or switch off
the main switch to stop the compressor.
Always position the pressure switch to the
off position.
MAINTENANCE
In order to keep your compressor in good
working conditions, we recommend you to
perform periodical servicing operations.
Before performing any maintenance
operation, switch off the compressor and
ensure all air in the tank is released.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT
AFTER THE FIRST 50 WORKING HOURS:
Check that all screws are properly tight,
paying special care to the head and crank
case. Replace the lubricant with one of the
recommended oil listed (page 10).
Never mix different oils together. Do not
use non-detergent oils or low quality oils
as they have very poor lubricating
properties.
Do not pour out oil in the environment.
Always contact your local body in charge
of the collection.
WEEKLY OPERATIONS:
Check the oil level and if necessary top up.
Do not exceed the mark corresponding to the
max. level. Make sure the oil does not drop
below the minimum so as to avoid any
damage or seizure.
Drain condensation, while the tank is
pressurised by opening the valve
(I)
located
under the tank. Open the valve by turning it
anti-clockwise (
Fig.8
) with a container under
the valve. Keep the compressor in a position
to allow all condensation to flow out
completely.
MONTHLY OPERATIONS (OR MORE
FREQUENTLY IF THE COMPRESSOR
OPERATES IN VERY DUSTY AREAS)
(Fig.9)
:
Remove the suction filter
(J)
and replace or
clean the filtering component. Do not operate
the compressor without the suction filter
fitted, as foreign bodies or dust could
seriously damage the inside components.
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT
EVERY 6 MONTHS
(Fig.10)
:
Pull out the oil dipstick and loosen the bolt
(K)
to change the oil. Collect the oil into a
suitable container.
You should perform this operation when the
compressor is hot so as to allow the oil to
drain rapidly and completely. Tighten the bolt
(K)
and pour in the new oil up to the max.
level and no higher.
