15.1 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.
15.2 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 tanks 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.
15.3 Dismantling and Putting the Compressor Out of Service
Should you decide not to use the compressor or any of its parts any longer you must precede with its
dismantling and putting it out of service. These tasks must be carried out in compliance with the standards in
force.
Should the compressor, or a part of it, be out of service its parts must be rendered harmless so they
do not cause any danger.
Bear in mind that oil, filters, or any other compressor part subject to differentiated waste collection
must be disposed of in compliance with the standards in force.
15.4 Waste Disposal
Use of the compressor generates
waste
that is classified as
special
. Bear in mind that residues from
industrial, agricultural, crafts, commercial and service activities not classified by quality or quantity as urban
waste must be treated as special waste. Deteriorated or obsolete machines are also classified as special
waste. Special attention must be paid to active carbon filters as they cannot be included in urban waste:
observe the waste disposal laws in force where the compressor is used. Bear in mind that it is compulsory to
record loading/unloading of exhausted oils, special wastes and toxic-harmful wastes that derive from
heavy/light industry processes. Exhausted oils, special wastes and toxic-harmful waste must be collected by
authorized companies. It is especially important that exhausted oils be disposed of in compliance with the laws
in the country of use.
Disassembly and demolition must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
