8
FAULT CAUSE REMEDY
Reductionofperformance.Frequentstart-up.
Low pressure values.
Excessiveperformancerequest,checkforany
leaksfromthecouplingsand/orpipes.Intake
ltermaybeclogged.
Replacethesealsofthetting,cleanorreplace
thelter.
The compressor stops and restarts
automatically after a few minutes.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheating of the motor.
Clean the air ducts in the conveyor. Ventilate
the work area.
Afterafewattemptstorestart,thecompressor
stops.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheatingofthemotor(removalofthe
plugwiththecompressorrunning,lowpower
voltage).
Activatetheon/offswitch.Ventilatethework
area. Wait a few minutes. The compressor will
restart independently. Remove any power cable
extensions.
The compressor does not stop and the safety
valve is tripped.
Irregular functioning of the compressor or
breakage of the pressure switch.
Remove the plug and contact the Service
Center.
Any other type of operation must be carried out by authorized Service Centers, requesting original parts. Tampering with the machine may impair
its safety and in any case make the warranty null and void.
START-UP AND USE
3
Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the
actual specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ±10% with
respect of the rated value is allowed.
Insert the plug of the power cable in a suitable socket checking that the I/O
switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position.
Atthispoint,thecompressorisreadyforuse.
Operating on the I/Oswitch,thecompressorstarts,pumpingairintothe
receiver through the delivery pipe.
When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been
reached,thecompressorstops.
Whenair isused,thecompressorrestartsautomaticallywhen thelower
calibrationvalueisreached(2barbetweenupperandlower).
The pressure in the receiver can be checked on the gauge provided.
The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle
until the I/O switch is turned.
Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been
switched off before restarting this.
Allcompressorsarefittedwithapressurereducer(ref.7).Operatingonthe
knobwiththetapopen(turningitinaclockwisedirectiontoincreasethe
pressureandinacounterclockwisedirectiontoreduceit),airpressurecan
be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic tools.
Thevaluesetcanbecheckedonthegauge(ref.6).
Thesetpressurecanbetakenfromthequicklockcoupling(ref.5).
Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working
pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the
pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air
supplied by the compressor.
Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed
your work.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
4
Warning!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work
on the appliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and
maintenance work.
Neverclean themachine andits componentswith solvents,flammable or
toxic liquids.Usonlya damp cloth makingsureyouhave unplugged the
compressor from the current outlet.
After approx. 2 hours of use, the condensate that has formed must be
drainedfromthe receiver.Firstof all,ventalltheair usingtheaccessory
connected,asdescribedabove.
The condensation water must be drained off each day by opening the drain
valve(ref.11-Fig.9)(onthebottomofthepressurevessel).
Warning!
If the water that condenses is not drained, it may corrode the receiver,
reducing its capacity and impairing safety.
As it is a contaminating product, condensate must be DISPOSED of
in accordance with laws on protection of the environment and current
legislation.
5. STORAGE
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all
connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure
that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any
unauthorized person.
6. DISPOSAL
The compressor must be disposed in conformity with the methods
provided for by local regulations.
7. WARRANTY AND REPAIR
