6.8 Cleaning the intake filter
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is
essential to clean this filter after at least every 100 hours in
service. A clogged intake filter will decrease the compres-
sor's performance dramatically, while an inefficient filter
causes harsher wear on the compressor. Remove the filter
as shown in figures 20 and 21. Tap it to remove the dirt,
blast it down with low-pressure compressed air (approx. 3
bar) and re-insert it.
8. POSSIBLE FAULTS AND RELATED PERMITTED REMEDIES
Request the assistance of a qualified electrician for operations on electric components (cables, motor, pressure switch,
electric panel, etc).
FAULT

6.9 Storage
Warning!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate

is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always
store upright, never tilted!
7. DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
The unit and its accessories are made of various types of
material, such as metal and plastic. Defective components
must be disposed of as special waste. Ask your dealer or
your local council.
CAUSE
Unscrew the hex-shaped head of
the check valve, clean the housing
and the special rubber disk
(replace if worn). Re-assembler
and tighten carefully (figures 22-
23).
Close the condensate drainage
cock.
Insert the Rilsan hose correctly
inside the pressure switch.
Decrease the demand of
compressed air.
Change gaskets.
Clean/replace the suction filter
(figure 20-21).
Check belt tension (fig. 18).
Improve ambient conditions.
Check and if necessary clean the
air filter.
Top up or change oil.
