When filling is complete, first turn off the cylinder’s valve and then the filling hose connector’s valve and
proceed to air venting using the relief valve on the connector. Finally, safely disconnect the cylinder.
During the filling procedure, cylinder’s temperature will rise. Let it cool down. Pressure will slightly drop. If
you wish, re-connect the cylinder with the filling hose (following the same procedure) and fill until the
maximum filling pressure.
Never open the filling hose connector valve, unless the cylinder is connected to the filling
hose. Hose whipping due to pressurized air can cause serious injury!
Condensate drainage
Each time you stop the compressor open the manual drain valves (one under the separator and one under
the final filter) so as to remove condensate. During every start of the compressor, open only the drain
valve of the 3rd stage. Then during the regular operation of the compressor open both 2
nd
and 3
rd
stage
drain valves every 15 minutes.
Condensate color is milky-white. If condensate suddenly changes color or start smelling, this is indication
of oil presence. Immediately check:
1. oil quality
2. oil level
3. filters’ condition and especially the condition of activated carbon filter
4. air inlet filter’s condition
5. piston rings and cylinders condition
Automatic drain system
Optional equipment.
The system consists of two timer controlled condensate drains, one after the 2
nd
,
and one after the 3
rd
stage.
The drains are controlled electronically and open automatically.
Max. operating pressure:
2
nd
stage drain valve: 80 bar
3
rd
stage drain valve: 250 or 350 bar
