13.2 General
Proper preservation of the compressor requires thorough cleaning.
This type of refill station, designed and built according to the most advanced
technological criteria, requires only minimum preventive and routine maintenance.
Before carrying out any maintenance tasks, run checks and/or controls on the
compressor, switch off the compressor, remove the plug from the mains socket.
The residual pressure present in the compressor and all lines must be released.
During disassembly and re-assembly of the compressor, always use suitable
wrenches/tools so as not to damage the relevant components.
Loosen stiff parts with a copper or plastic mallet.
When refitting parts make sure they are clean and lubricated sufficiently.
Compressor maintenance tasks must only be carried out by authorized personnel and
recorded on page 31 Maintenance Log of this manual.
