8 Problem solving
Warning
Before carrying out any maintenance, repair work or adjustment, press the stop button,
wait until the compressor has stopped, press the emergency stop button and switch off
the voltage.
For interventions in the compressed air circuit, close the air outlet valve and open the
manual condensate drain valves. Depressurise the compressor by opening the oil filler
plug one turn. Tighten the plug after completing the work.
For location of components, see sections:
• Introduction
• Condensate system
• Initial start-up
Open and lock the isolating switch.
The air outlet valve can be locked during maintenance or repair as follows:
• Close the valve.
• Remove the screw fixing the handle with the wrench delivered with the
compressor.
• Lift the handle and turn it until the slot of the handle fits over the blocking edge on
the valve body.
• Fit the screw.
The operator must apply all relevant Safety precautions.
Before electrical intervention
Wait for at least 6 minutes before starting any electrical repairs as dangerous high
voltage remains on the capacitors of the start and speed regulation unit during some
minutes after switching off the voltage.
