Maintenance
BOGE Operating instructions for S 40-2...S 341 / SF 40-2...SF 220 series screw compressors
DANGER!
Ensure that maintenance work is only carried out by specialists or appro-
priately trained person.
– Prior to starting any maintenance work, always stop the compressor as
described in these operating instructions prior to removing any cladding
or safety devices. Refit the cladding or safety devices immediately upon
completion of the maintenance work.
– Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating materials
released by BOGE for the maintenance work.
– When the automatic restart (Auto-Restart) is activated, the compressor
restart automatically following a voltage loss.
Prerequisite: The net pressure is lower than the switch-on pressure.
Safety precautions
DANGER: Risk of injury!
Always adhere to the specified operating method described below for all
maintenance work. Never omit a single safety step!
Otherwise you will risk injury from restarting, electric shock or parts which
may fly off.
Prior to all maintenance work:
1. Switch off the compressor using the OFF button.
2. Switch off the main switch and secure it against unintentional switch-
on.
3. Check to ensure that all machine elements are definitely isolated.
4. Separate the compressor from the compressed air network by closing
the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
5. Vent the compressor.
To this effect open the safety valve on the combined compressed air-
oil receiver as follows:
– Turn the knurled nut counterclockwise until you can feel a resilient
resistance.
– Tun the knurled nut a little further.
Any possibly existing air will escape.
The system pressure gauge will indicate a pressure of 0 bar.
– Once the residual air has completely escaped from the system,
firmly retighten the knurled nut.
6. Remove all safety cladding necessary to perform the maintenance
work.
Once the maintenance work has been concluded:
7. Reattach all removed safety cladding.
8. Open the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
9. Prior to switching on again, check whether anyone else is working on
the compressor!
