Operation in reverse direction for more than a few seconds will cause a Reciprocating
Compressor to run hot and perform poorly and may cause permanent damage.
The Motor Starter includes electrical protection for the compressor.
19.0 Storage
Should the compressor not be used, it must be stored in a dry sheltered area at an ambient
temperature of between 32°F and 104°F (0 °C and 40 °C). Store the compressor away from sources
of heat, flames or explosive.
19.1 Stopping the Machine for a Brief Period
If you do not intend to use the compressor for a brief period proceed with general cleaning.
Once the compressor has cooled down you should wipe off dirt, dust and moisture on the
compressor and the surrounding area.
19.2 Stopping the Machine for an Extended Period
If you do not intend to use the compressor for a long period, extract the active carbon filter
cartridge. Run the compressor for a few minutes without actually filling bottles so as to flush
out all the residual condensate. Stop the compressor, disassemble the intake filter, restart the
compressor and spray a few drops of oil into the air intake hole so that a light film of lubricant
is aspirated and penetrates the interior of the compressor. Stop the compressor and refit the
air intake filter. Clean the external parts: eliminate any moisture, salt or oil deposits. Protect the
compressor from dust and water by storing it in a clean, dry place. Switch off the machine via
the main switch and remove the plug from the mains power socket. Proceed with a thorough
general clean of all machine parts. During machine downtimes it is advisable to run the
compressor for 20 minutes every 15 days.
20.0 Dismantling and Putting the Compressor Out of Service

dismantling and putting it out of service. These tasks must be carried out in compliance with the
standards in force.
