USING THE COMPRESSOR WITH SYNTHETIC OILS
If you wish to use a synthetic lubricant, carefully follow the procedure below.
1.
Extract the mineral lubricant already contained in the circuit of the compressor through a
special drain cock, taking care to collect the same on a suitable container for disposal.
2.
Proceed by washing with detergent oil circuit. If you don’t have a special detergent for
cleaning oil you can use the same synthetic lubricant that you want to use the machine.
We recommend two cycles of loading and unloading oil, at each cycle will start up the
machine for about 5 min and then proceed with the final charge of synthetic oil that will be
used.
ATTENTION
!
It 's necessary to replace the oil filter and separator cartridge, contaminated by the
mixture of the two oils. Always check the oil level to each load through the special
viewer (cap.10.3).
ATTENTION
!
If you do not the cycle of "washing" described above, problems can occur due to the
lubrication of possible incompatibility of mixing of the lubricants. Handle the lubricant
with appropriate protections. Dispose of lubricants according to environmental
regulations.
ATTENTION!
Before carrying out any mining operation or topping up oil on the compressor,
disconnect the power supply and wait until the pressure inside the separator tank is 0
bar.
