1. PRECAUTIONS
THINGS TO DO_________________________
The compresor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated
with an ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C) and never
inplaces affected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive or flammable
Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the
compressor and the work area.
Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting operations
indicates that the distance is too short.
Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage
and equency complying with current regulations.
Use extension cables of a maximum length of 5 meters and of minimal cross
section of 2,5 mm^2. Use 16 [A] C-type fuse.
Always use the switch of the pressure switch to switch off the compressoror
use the switch of the electric panel for models equipped with this. Never
switch off the compressor by pulling out the plug in order to avoid restart with
pressure in the head.
Always use the handle to move the compressor
When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal
surface to guarantee correct lubrication
Position the at least 50 cm from the wall to permitoptimal circulation of fresh
air and to guarantee correct cooling.
THINGS NOT TO DO______________________
Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body. (Always
wear safety googles to protect your eyes from flying objects that may be lifted
by the jet.)
Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressoŕ
towards the compressor people, animals or yourself.
Never use the appliance in your bare feet or with wet hands or feet.
Never pull the power cable to pull the plug out of the socket or to move
the compressor.
Do not use the compressor outdoors.
Never transport the compressor with the reservoir pressurized.
Never weld or machine the resewoir. In the case offaults or corrosion, replace
it completely.
Never allow inexpert persons to use the comprepsor. Keep children and
animals away from the work area.
This applianceis not intendedforuse by persons (including children)with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should besupewised to ensure that they do not playwith the
appliance.
Never position flammable or nylon or fabric articles Close to and/or on
the compressor.
Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or solvents. Clean with a
damp cloth only, after making sure that you have unplugged the compressor.
The compressor is designed only to compress air and must not be used for
any other type of gas.
The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for
pharmaceutical, food or hospital purposes except after particular treatments.
It is not suitable for filling the air bottles of scuba divers.
Never use the compressor without guards (bełt guard) and never touch
moving parts.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW_____________
To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for
intermittent operation as indicated in technical documentation. In the case of
overheating, thethermal cutout of the motor tnps, automatically cuting off the
power when thetemperature is high due to excess current take-off.
To facilitate machine restart, it is important not only to carry out the
operations indicated but also to set the button of the pressure switch,
returning this to the OFF position and then ON again;
Press the reset buton on the terminal box of the motor (fig. 6)
Compressors are fitted with a presure switch equipped with a delayed closing
air vent valve (or with a valve located on the check valve) that facilitates motor
start-up; therefore a few-second jet of air from this, with the reservoir empty, is
to considered normal
To guarantee machine safety, all the compressors are fitted with a safety
valve that is activated in the case of failure of the pressure switch
The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks. This
valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches
this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this safety device. Any
adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device requires
service or maintenance, see an Authorized Service Center.
The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating
pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure.
When connecting an air-powered tool to a hose of compressed air supplied by
Preserve this handbook for future reference
the compressor, interruption of the flow of air from the hose is compulsory.
Use of the compressed air for the various purposes envisaged (inflation,
air- powered tools, painting, Washing with water-based detergents only, etc.)
requires knowledge of and compliance with the rules established for each
individual use.
Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure
of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the compressor) to be used,
are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the
amount of air supplied by the compressor.
Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety able
(e.g. a wire rope).
2. START-UP AND USE
Fit the supplied wheels as shown in figures 2a or 2b or 2c. For versions with
fixed feet, assemble the vibration-dampers if furnished (fig. 3a or 3b).
Check for correspondence between the compressor plate dłta with the actual
specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect of the
rated value is allowed.
Insert the power plug in a suitable socket checking that the button of the
pressure switch located on the compressor is in the „O" (OFF) position
Check the oil level using the sight glass and if necessary unscrew the vent plug
and top up. (figures 8a-8b and 9a-9d).
At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
Operating on the switch of the pressure switch the compressor starts,
pumping air in the reservoir through the delivery hose.
On reaching maximum operating pressure (factory-set during testing), the
compressor stops, venting the excess air present in the head and in the
delivery hose through a valve located under the pressure switch.
The absence of pressure in the head facilitates subsequent restart. When air is
used, the compressor restarts automatically when the lower calibration value
is reached (approx. 2 bar between upper and lower). he pressure inside the
reservoir can be checked on the gauge provided
The compressor continues to operate automatically with this work cycle until
the position of the switch ofthe pressure switch. To use the compressor again,
wait at least 10 seconds after this has been switched off before restarting
Compressors fitted with a pressure reducer. Air pressure can be regulated in
order to optimize use of air-powered tools operating on the knob with the valve
open (pulling it up and turning it in a clockwise direction to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to reduce), Once you have set the value required, push
the knob down to lock it.
The value set can be checked on the gauge.
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
pressurere regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
When you have finished working, stop the machine, pull out the plug
and empty the reservoir.
3. MAITENANCE
The service life of the machine depends on maintenance quality.
PRIOR TO ANY OPERATION SET THE PRESSURE SWITCH TO THE OFF
POSITION, PULL OUT THE PLUG AND COMPLETELY DRAIN THE RESERVOIR.
Check that all screws (in particular those of the head of the unit) are tightly
drawn up The control must be perfohmep before the first start-up of the
compressor and subsequently before the first intensive use in order to restore
the correct closing torque value modified as a result of heat expansion.
Clean the suction filter according to the type of environment and in any case
at least every 100 hours. If necessary, replace the filter (a clogged filter impairs
eficiency while an inefficient filter causes harsher wear on the compressor
(Figures 5a-5f)
Change the oil after the first 50 hours of operation then not less than 2 times a
year. Check the oil level periodically.
Use oil for piston compressor of Airpress brand. Never mix different grade oils.
If the oil changes color (whitish presenceofwater; dark=overheated), it is good
practice to replace the oil immediately.
After topping up, tighten the plug making sure that there are no leaks during
use. Once a week, check the oil level to assure lubrication in time
Periodically (or after completing work if for more than an hour), drain the
condensate that forms inside the reservoir due to the humidity in the air (fig.
7a-7c) in order to protect the reservoir from rust and so as not to restrict its
capacity.
Periodically, check the tension of the belts which must have a flexion (f) of
around 1 cm
