Pneumatic Connections - Paslode Proline 248 Manuel D'instructions Et D'entretien

The compressor generates condensate that accumulates in the tank. The condensate must be drained from the tank at least once a week
by opening the discharge tap (fi g. 14) underneath the tank. Be careful if there is any compressed air within the cylinder as the water could
burst out with some force. Recommended pressure 1 ÷ 2 bar max.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. Replace the whole connecting rod unit every 1200 hours of operation. Replace the sliding blocks and
the compression ring every 1200 hours of operation.
CLEANING THE FILTER. It is advisable to dismantle the suction fi lter every 3 months 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.
HOW TO PROCEED WHEN TRIVIAL ANOMALIES ARE ENCOUNTERED
Loss of air from the valve underneath the pressure switch. This inconvenience is due to the imperfect seal of the non-return valve;
proceed as follows: (fi g. 15). Release all the pressure from the tank. Unscrew the hexagonal head of the valve (A) (fi g.15). Carefully clean
the small rubber disk (B) and also its seat (fi g.15). Re-fi t everything accurately.
Loss of air. This may be due to the poor seal of one of the fi ttings. Check all the fi ttings by wetting them with soapy water.
The compressor runs but fails to load (fi g.16). This may be due to a breakage of the valve, or a gasket. Replace inlet and exhaust
valve set.
The compressor fails to start. If the compressor has diffi culty in starting, make sure that:
• the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the data nameplate (fi g. 10).
• 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 effi cient (plug connected correctly, magneto thermal switch, fuses not blown)
The compressor fails to stop. If the compressor fails to stop when the maximum pressure is reached, the tank safety valve will trip.
Contact the nearest authorised service center for the repairs.
WARNING
• Do not unscrew any connections with the tank when under pressure for any reason whatsoever. Always make sure that the tank is
depressurised beforehand.
• Do not drill, weld or intentionally deform the compressed air tank.
• Do not carry out any operations on the compressor before it has been unplugged from the power socket.
• The room temperature for its correct effi ciency is: 0°C +25°C (MAX 45°C).
• Do not direct jets of water or fl ammable liquids over the compressor.
• Do not place fl ammable objects near the compressor.
• When stopped temporarily during its use, turn the pressure switch or the ON/OFF switch to Off position.
• Never direct the jet of air towards people or animals (fi g. 24).
• Do not transport the compressor when the tank is pressurised.
• 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 (fi g. 10).
• Transport the compressor by lifting or pulling it with the appropriate grips or handles (fi g. 5 - 6).
• Children and animals must be kept away from the area in which the machine is running. If the compressor is used for painting: a) Do
not work in closed areas or near free fl ames b) Make sure that the area in which you are working has a good change of air c) Protect
nose and mouth using an appropriate mask (fi g. 18).
• Do not use the compressor if the electric cable or the plug is damaged.
• Contact the nearest authorised service centre for the replacement with an original component.
• If it is placed on a shelf or a surface that is raised off the ground, it must be secured appropriately to prevent it from tipping off when
running.
• Do not insert objects or your hands inside the safety grating to avoid physical damage and also damage to the compressor (fi g. 19).
• Do not use the compressor to threaten people or animals to avoid serious injuries. Always unplug the compressor from the power
socket when you have fi nished using it.
NOTE
The compressor tanks have been manufactured in compliance with the 2009/105/EC Directive for the European market. The compressors
have been manufactured in compliance with the 2006/42/EC Directive for the European market.

PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS

Make sure you always use pneumatic tubes for compressed air with maximum pressure characteristics that are adequate for the
compressor. Do not attempt to repair tubes if faulty.
