BEFORE MAINTAINING THE MACHINE ALWAYS PERFORM THE FOLLOWING
Switch off the motor by means of the switch on the control panel.
Power the machine off by means of the wall outer switch (do not press the emergency stop button).
Close the line cock.
Make sure that no compressed air is inside the oil separator tank by turning the cock anticlockwise and bleed all air off.
Before removing any protections, double check that wall-mounted switch has been turned to 0.
AFTER THE FIRST 100 HOURS
1)
Check the oil level
(see next paragraph): top up with the same type of oil if
necessary.
2)
Check for proper screw tightening
: in particular the power electric connection
screws.
3)
Visually check
that all fittings seal properly.
4)
Check
room temperature
EVERY 500 HOURS
Check the oil level (fig.7)
Always blow off air from the oil separator tank before topping up. Slowly unscrew
the cock A until all air comes out and then screw it again.
The max. level is reached when the oil touches the filler.
Check level at oil light (B).
The amount of oil necessary for topping up from the minimum level to the
maximum level is about 1.5 lt.
EVERY 1000 HOURS
Clean the air filter
thoroughly (fig.8). Blow filter with compressed air from
inside out.
Hold the filter against the light and look for any tears. Always replace a torn
filter. Install filter cartridge and cover accurately. If badly positioned, they would let
dust into the compression unit.
Replace the air filter when you have cleaned it four times.
Clean the radiators
The radiator is highly efficient with a limited clogging degree. However, in case
of abnormal overheating or at least once a year, a check for filter clogging is recommended.
To clean the radiators, proceed as follows:
remove the rear and upper panels of the pressurized chamber;
position a protection plastic sheet under the radiator unit;
spray (spray gun + solvent) from the outside towards the inside;
check for proper air flow through the radiators.
AFTER THE FIRST 1000 HOURS, EVERY 3000 HOURS AFTERWARDS
Change oil (fig.7)
Change oil every 3000 working hours when compressor is hot over 70 °C.
Drain pressure from the oil separator tank through cock (A).
Connect the supplied hose to cock (C).
Unscrew filler cap, open ball cock (C) and drain all oil into a container. When finished,
close the cock and remove the hose.
Fill fresh oil through filler plug (D) (a full charge is 6 liters).
Close the plug.
Power on machine.
Start machine and let is run for 5 minutes, then stop it.
Drain all air.
Allow 3 minutes and check oil level. Top up if needed.
When you change oil, you can change to a different type of lubricant (see table).
