with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
22. USE ONLY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts not original may void your warranty and can lead
to malfunction and resulting injuries. Genuine parts are available
from your dealer.
23. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR
Do not modify the compressor. Always contact the authorized service
center any repairs. Unauthorized modifi cation may not only impair
the compressor performance but may also result in accident or injury
to repair personnel who do not have the required knowledge and
technical expertise to perform the repair operations correctly.
24. TURN OFF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WHEN THE COMPRESSOR
IS NOT USED
When the compressor is not used, turn the knob of the pressure
switch OFF, disconnect it from the power source and open the drain
cock to discharge the compressed air from the air tank.
25. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder and
motors.
26. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY
Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
27. DRAIN TANK
Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use.
Open drain fi tting and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
28. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE PLUG
Use the “AUTO/OFF” knob of pressure switch.
29. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING PARTS
ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE NOT LESS THAN 125 PSI (8.6
BAR)
Risk of bursting. Use only recommended air handling parts
acceptable for pressures not less than 125 psi (8.6 bar).
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Repairs should be conducted only by authorized service center.
SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock. The compressor is equipped with a three-conductor
cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fi t the proper grounding
type receptacle.
The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal. If your units is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug that
looks like that shown in sketch (A) in fi gure on the right. An adapter, see
sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting sketch (A) type plugs
to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground,
such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: the grounding adaptor, sketch (C), is prohibited in Canada by
Canadian Electrical Code Part.1. Therefore, the instructions for its use
are not applicable in Canada.
EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-extension cords that have three-prong grounding type
plugs and three-pole receptables that accept the compressor’s plug.
Replace or repair damaged cord.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord lenght and name plate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance of the
compressor.
Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual may show details or
attachments that differ from those on your own compressor.
INSTALLATION
After having removed the compressor from its packing (fi g. 1) and having
checked its perfect integrity, making sure that it has not been damaged
during transport, proceed as follows.
COMPRESSOR WITH TANK (FIG.20)
Fit the wheels and the rubbers on the tanks where these have not been
fi tted, following the instructions provided in fi g. 2. Also fi t the air fi lter (fi g.
2B) in compressors in which this has not been fi tted.
COMPRESSOR WITHOUT TANK (FIG.21)
Fit the suction cups underneath the base of the unit as indicated in fi g.2A.
Position the compressor on a fl at surface or one with an inclination of
10° at the most (fi g. 3), in a well-ventilated area away from atmospheric
agents and not in explosive areas.
If the surface is sloping and smooth, make sure that the compressor does
not move while running, otherwise block the wheels with two wedges.
If the surface consists of a shelf or the ledge of a stand, make sure that
it may not fall off by securing it appropriately. The compressor must
be positioned at least 50 cm away from any walls to ensure its ideal
ventilation and effective cooling. (fi g. 4).
THIS COMPRESSOR RUNS WITHOUT OIL (4A)
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Transport the compressor in the correct manner without tipping it or
lifting it with hooks or ropes. (fi g. 5 - 6)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The single-phase compressors are supplied complete with an electrical
cable and two-pole + earth power plug. The compressor must be
connected to a power socket provided with earth connection. (fi g. 7)
