Periodical Maintenance - Virax VIRAFAL Manuel D'utilisation

7.2. Periodical maintenance

After the first 5 hours operation, check the tightening of the head screws and cladding screws.
Once per week
Evacuate the condensate by opening the valve. Place the tank as to ensure the
opening of the drain valve is turned downwards.
Close the valve once air flow starts dropping. As the compressor contains no lubricant,
the condensate can be eliminated with used waters.
Once per month (or more often if the device is used in a dusty environment): Remove the suction filter and
change it (if damaged) or clean the filtering element. Remove the filter cover and pull
out the filtering element.
Clean it with a detergent, rinse it with water, and wipe it properly. Never start the
compressor without a suction air filter.
Failure
If pressure drops below 5.5 bar on the pressure indicator and the manometer, and if the compressor does not
react, check that the on/off switch on the pressure switch is set to ON.
7.3. Repairing
In the case of a loss of air, proceed as follows:
a) Recharge the compressor to maximum pressure.
b) Remove the plug from the power outlet.
c) Smear all couplings with a brush wet with soapy water.
The presence of air bubbles indicates that an air loss is present.
If loss is seen on the level of the pressure regulation valve when the compressor is stopped,
proceed as follows:
a) Bleed all the compressed air from the container.
b) Remove the N closing plug from the retention valve.
c) Properly clean the valve seat and ring. Then refit the assembly.
Protection circuit breaker
The compressor is fitted with a protection circuit breaker powering off the unit in case of
overload.
In this case, power off immediately and wait for a few minutes before rearming the protection
circuit breaker, and restart the unit. If the protection circuit breaker trips again, power off the
unit and call your approved after sales service.
We advise to bleed the compressed air from the tank.
CAUTION: Whenever possible, remove no connecting part when the container is
pressurized. To do this, always check the container is empty.
CAUTION: If the plug is connected to the power outlet, the cover of the pressure regulator must not be
removed.
8- Waste elimination
Certain parts of the unit are made of materials which can be reclaimed and recycled. Approved and certified
reclaiming contractors are available to this effect.
Call your local waste management authority to eliminate non reclaimable parts (e.g. electronic waste) in an
environment-friendly way.
For European countries only:
Do not discard electrical devices with household waste ! As set out in European directive
2002/96/CEE on electrical and electronic equipment waste, and its national transposition into
national law, used electrical devices must be subject of selective collection, as well environment-
friendly recycling.
