MAINTENANCE
Before attempting any maintenance jobs on the compressor, make
sure of the following:
-
Master power switch is in "0" position.
-
No pressure in the air tank.
Every 50 hours of duty, we advise you to dismantle the suction filter
and clean the filtering element by blowing compressed air on to it
(fig.11).You are recommended to replace the filter element at least
once if the compressor operates in a clean environment, but more
frequently if in a dusty environment. The compressor generates
condensation which accumulates in the tank.The condensation in the
tank must be drained at least once a week by opening the drain tap
(fig.12) under the tank.Take care if there is compressed air inside the
cylinder
as
water
could
flow
Recommended pressure: 1 - 2 bar max. Condensation from of
compressors that are oil lubricated must not be drained into the sewer
or dispersed into the environment as it may contain oil.
OIL CHANGES - TOPPING UP WITH OIL
The compressor is filled with synthetic oil "SAE 5W50".We recommend
a full change of oil in the pumping element within the first 100 hours of
duty. Unscrew the oil drain plug on the housing cover, allow all the oil
to flow out and re-screw the plug (fig. 13- 14).Pour oil into the upper
hole of the housing cover (fig. 15-16) until it reaches the level indicated
on the stick (fig.5) or indicator (fig.7) Once a week: check oil level of
the pumping element and see if it needs topping up. For operation at
ambient temperature in the range -5°C to +35°C, use "SAE 5W50"
synthetic oil. The advantage of this oil is that is does not lose its
characteristics either in winter or summer. Do not drain used oil into
the sewer or dispose of it in the environment.

FAULT FINDING
Loss of air in valve under pressure switch
This can be caused by under tightening of the valve - take the
following action (fig.17):
-
Discharge all pressure from the tank.
-
Unscrew the hexagon-head of the valve (A).
-
Carefully clean both the rubber disk (B) and its seat.
-
Refit all parts accurately.
Air losses
This can be caused by under tightening of a union:
-
check all unions, wetting them with soapy water.
Compressor turns but does not load
MCX24 – MB24 – MX24 - MCX50 - MB50 – MX50 - MCV172- MVX50:
(fig.18)
This may be due to failure of the valves (C1 - C2) or of a seal (B1 -
B2): replace the damaged part.

VCX50 - VCX 100/3 MC – VCX150 - MB100: (fig.19)
This may be due to failure of the valves F1 and F2 or of a seal (D1 -
D2): replace the damaged part.
Compressor not starting
If the compressor has trouble starting, check the following:
-
Does mains power match that of the data-plate?
-
Are power cable extensions of adequate diameter or length?
-
Is the work environment too cold (under 0°C)?
-
Was the thermal-breaker tripped?
-
Is there enough oil in the housing to ensure lubrication? (fig. 7)
-
Is power supplied to the electrical line? (sockets well connected,
thermal-breaker, fuses in good condition).
Compressor not stopping
-
If the compressor does not stop when maximum pressure is
reached, the tank safety valve comes into operation. To repair the
valve, contact your nearest service centre.
CAUTION:
-
Do not on any account unscrew any connection while the tank is
pressurised.

-
Always check that the tank is pressure free.
-
Do not drill holes, weld or purposely deform the compressed air
tank.
-
Do not perform any maintenance on the compressor unless you
have disconnected the power plug.
-
Ambient operating temperature range: 0°C +35°C.
-
Do not aim jets of water or flammable liquids on the compressor.
-
Do not place flammable objects near the compressor.
-
During down-times, turn the pressure switch to "0" position (OFF).
-
Never aim the air jet at people or animals.
-
Do not transport the compressor while the tank is pressurised.
-
Take care, as some parts of the compressor, such as the head
and delivery tubes, as they can reach high temperatures. Do not
touch these parts to avoid burns (fig. 8-9).
-
To transport the compressor, lift or pull it with the appropriate grips
or handles.
-
Keep children and animals well away from the machine operating
area.
-
If using the compressor for painting:
a) Do not work in closed environments or near to naked flames.
b) Make sure there is adequate ventilation at the place of work.
c) Protect your nose and mouth with an appropriate mask.
-
If the electrical cable or plug are damaged, do not use the
compressor and contact an authorised service centre to replace
the faulty component with an original spare part.
-
If the compressor is located on a shelf above floor height, it must
be secured to prevent it falling while in operation.
-
Do not put objects or your hands inside the protective grilles to
avoid injury to yourself or damage to the compressor. (Do not use
the compressor as a blunt object toward objects or animals, to
avoid serious damage).
-
When you have finished using the compressor, always remove the
plug from the power socket.

WARNING:
-
For efficient operation of the machine at full continuing load and at
maximum operating pressure, make sure the temperature of the
work environment indoors does not exceed 25°C.
-
We advise you to use the compressor at 70% maximum duty per
hour at full load as this ensures efficient operation of the product
long-term.
STORING THE PACKED AND UNPACKED COMPRESSOR
For the whole time that the compressor is not used before unpacking
for the first time, store in a dry place at a temperature between 5°C
and 45°C and sheltered position to protect it from the weather. For the
whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking, while
waiting to start it up or due to production stoppages, place sheets over
it to protect from dust, which may settle on the components. The oil is
to be replaced and the operational efficiency of the compressor is to be
checked if it is not used for long periods.
PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
Make sure you always use pneumatic tubes for compressed air with
maximum pressure characteristics that
compressor. Do not attempt to repair tubes if faulty.
