Conservation / storage of the compressor
If the compressor unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend to
carry out the following work before storage time:
•
Run the compressor at 200 bar filling pressure for approximately ten minutes
(control the flow with the filling valve to maintain constant pressure).
•
Replace compressor oil, open filling valve(s) and run compressor for a few minutes.
•
Stop compressor and open drain valves (depending on the compressor type, this may
happens automatically).
•
Remove top cap of final filter housing: clean threat, grease o-ring and threat with a food
grade grease or silicone grease. Close filter housing.
•
Remove intake filter cartridge and undo intake pipes on all valve heads.
•
Start compressor unit.
•
Spray a few drops of compressor oil into intake connectors.
•
Stop compressor unit and insert intake filter cartridge.
•
Bring intake pipes back in position and fix connections and nuts.
Close filling- and drain
valves.
•
Store the compressor in a cool dry place free from dust and contamination.
A dust cover is recommended as long as condensation can be avoided.
•
If compressor unit should be stored for a period of more than one year, an oil change is
strongly recommended before it’s been re-used.
•
Fuel driven units only: fill up fuel tank to top level to avoid corrosion.
