3. Handling and Controls
SILENT compressors can be manoeuvred with ease. Simply fasten the compressor to a pallet and move by
means of a fork lift truck or transpallet.
Before moving, check the maximum load supported by the specific surface. When moving, take care not to jolt
the compressor and make sure that the load is balanced centrally on the forks.
Prior to delivery, all compressors designed for use in professional applications undergo specific tests to simulate
all foreseeable problems, as prescribed by law. All compressors are inspected before leaving our works.
Unfortunately, we cannot exclude the possibility of damage to the compressor during transportation. The user
should therefore inspect the compressor before setting it to work, to ensure that it is in perfect condition, and
monitor the first hours of operation, in order to detect any faults.
The compressor is supplied fully assembled.
To connect the compressor to the compressed air system, only use hoses (51) [fig.6], that are at least 60 cm long
and of a suitable size in relation to the outlet on the compressor (see table 4).
