just make sure that they cannot fall down by
securing them properly. For proper ventilation and
effective cooling, it is important that the
compressor is positioned at least 100 cm from the
wall (fig. 4).
Make sure that the compressor is
transported in the right way, do not turn it
upside down and don't lift it with hooks or
ropes (fig. 5-6).
Filling the compressor with oil.
Your compressor is supplied with oil which is
already included in the carter.
Before use, remove the transport cap on the carter
(12), and replace it by the regular oil cap (fig 7).
Before use, ensure that oil level is sufficient. This
can be checked by checking the oil inspection
glass (13). When compressor is placed
horizontally, the oil level shall reach the red mark.
Installing the air filters.
Remove the transport lids and replace them with
the supplied air filters before using the
compressor.
Starting up
•
Check whether the mains voltage corresponds
to that indicated on the electrical specification
plate (fig. 10), the permitted tolerance range
should be within 5%.
•
Press the switch (3) situated on the upper part
into the "0" position according to the pressure
regulator type fitted on the device (fig. 11).
•
Put the plug in the plug socket (fig. 9) and start
the compressor up by putting the switch(3) of
the pressure regulator in the "I" position. The
operation of the compressor is fully automatic.
The pressure regulator will stop the
compressor when the maximum value has
been reached and start it up when the
pressure drops below the minimum value.
Normally the difference in pressure is approx.
2 Bar/29 psi between the maximum and the
minimum value. For instance - The
compressor will stop when it reaches 8 Bar
(116 psi) (this is the maximum operating
pressure) and will start up automatically when
the pressure within the tank has dropped to 6
Bar (87 psi).
The head/cylinder/transmission pipe
assembly may reach high temperatures,
so take care when working close to these
Ferm
parts and do not touch them to avoid
burns (fig. 12 - 13).
Adjusting the operating pressure
Fig. 14
It is not necessary continuously to use the
maximum operating pressure, the compressed-air
tools often require less pressure. With regard to
compressors supplied with a pressure reduction
valve it is necessary to set the operating pressure
properly.
It is possible to set the operating pressure by using
the turning knob(5) on the reduction valve.
•
By turning clockwise, the pressure will be
increased.
•
By turning anti-clockwise, the pressure will be
reduced.
The compressor has two pressure gauges and
two points to connect an air hose:
•
Pressure gauge on the left (7): pressure on left
outlet (6). The pressure of left this outlet can
be regulated with help of the reduction valve
(5).
•
Pressure gauge(8) on the right: tank pressure
+ pressure on right outlet(16)
Hints for accurate adjustment of the pressure
regulation:
•
Turn the turning knob (5) anti-clockwise till
pressure is fully released
•
Connect the air tool you want to use to the left
quick coupler (6)
•
Activate the air tool shortly, so the pressure
gauge (7) will show the right pressure level
•
Turn the turning knob (5) clockwise, till the
pressure gauge (7) shows the pressure level
you need
•
Your air tool is now ready to use.
Note: when not connecting an air tool while
adjusting the pressure, it might occur the pressure
gauge (7) is not reacting accurately on the
pressure drop
4. Maintenance
Make sure that the plug is removed from
the mains when carrying out maintenance
work on the motor.
The machine has been designed to operate over a
long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
