(white grease). The grease must completely fill the spaces between
the rollers; excess lubricant will be expelled during the initial hours of
operation.
CLEANING THE FILTER
F-GMS-VS-GM – FB- VX –AB – S - STS
It is advisable to dismantle the suction filter every 50 hours of use and
to clean the fi ltering element by blowing it with compressed air, or
replace it if the element pointed out by the arrow is clogged.
AB Pump Units: every 100 working hours, remove the intake filter and
clean the filter element with compressed air (fig. 14).
WHAT TO DO IF SMALL MALFUNCTIONS OCCUR
Air losses
These can be caused by poor tightness of a union – check all unions,
wetting them with soapy water.
Compressor turns but does not load
F-GMS-VS-S-STS series compressors: (fig.15)
-
This may be due to a breakage of the valve, or a gasket (B1-
B2). Replace the damaged component.
The compressor fails to start
If the compressor has difficulty in starting, make sure that: -the
mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the data nameplate
(fi g. 8)
-
electrical extension cables with unsuitable cross-section or
length are not used.
-
the room in which the compressor is running is not too cold
(below 0°C)
-
the electric line is efficient (plug connected correctly, magneto
thermal switch, fuses not blown)
-
Do not carry out any operations on the compressor before it
has been unplugged from the power socket.
-
The room temperature for its correct efficiency is: 0°C +25°C
(MAX 45°C).
-
Do not direct jets of water or flammable liquids over the
compressor.
Do not place flammable objects near the compressor.
-
-
Be aware that some components of the compressor such as the
head and delivery hoses may reach high temperatures, therefore
do not touch the to avoid getting burned (fig. 13).
-
Do not insert objects or your hands inside the safety grating to
avoid physical damage and also damage to the compressor.
-
Do not use the compressor to threaten people or animals to
avoid serious injuries.
