MONTHLY INSPECTION:
ONLY CARRY OUT WHEN INSTALLATION IS COOL AND AT A STANDSTILL
WITH THE POWER CORD DISCONNECTED OR THE MAIN SWITCH OFF
This check may only be carried out by skilled mechanics. Observe the safety very carefully,
the enclosure must be removed and rotating parts will be accessible.
A:
Check the wear of the V-belts, replace if necessary.
B:
Lubricate latches and padlock and check their functioning.
C:
Preserve the compressor when it has been at a standstill for a longer period of time.
(L
ubricate the compressor’s rotor with oil to prevent corrosion.)
To carry out the following inspections it is necessary to start the installation without
enclosure. Please note the dangers that can occur as a result of access to:
- hot parts as compressor and silencer (150 °C)
- rotating parts such as the transmission and the fan
- high sound levels (> 85 dB)
HEARING PROTECTION OBLIGATED!!
D:
Check the functioning of the safety valve.
Air pressure measured at the discharge flange of the compressor may not exceed a
maximum gauge pressure of 2.5.
Potential pressure loss between compressor and silo tank of 0.2 up to 0.3 bar.
E:
Check flanges/packing, rubber compensators etc. in the enclosure for air leakages to
avoid loosening of the insulation material and overheating.
F:
Check pipes, cooler and connection joints for oil leakage.
HALFYEARLEY INSPECTION:

the enclosure must be removed and rotating parts will be accessible.
A:
Change the lubricating oil at least twice a year (oil type SAE 10W40).
B:
Replace oil filter.
C:
Demount the non-return valve installed in the discharge silencer and check for proper
