SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shock. The compressor is equipped with a
three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding type receptacle.
The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire
to a live terminal. If your units is for use on less than 150 volts, it has
a plug that looks like that shown in sketch (A) in figure on the right.
An adapter, see sketches (B) and (C), is available for connecting
sketch (A) type plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded
outlet box.
NOTE: the grounding adaptor, sketch (C), is prohibited in Canada by
Canadian Electrical Code Part.1. Therefore, the instructions for its
use are not applicable in Canada.
EXTENSION CORD
Use only three-extension cords that have three-prong grounding type
plugs and three-pole receptables that accept the compressor's plug.
Replace or repair damaged cord. Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord lenght and name plate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

WARNING
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this compressor with a
damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord. Inspect all
electrical cords regularly. Never use in near water or in any
environment where electric shock is possible

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance of the
compressor.
Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual may show details or
attachments that differ from those on your own compressor.
INSTALLATION
Unpack the compressor (Fig.1) and check its perfect integrity then
locate the place where you are going to position it: ensure that the
compressor rests on a flat floor or with a slope of 10° at the most
(Fig. 2). Fit the wheels or the suction cups following the instructions
given in Fig.3
THIS COMPRESSOR
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Transport the compressor in the correct manner without tipping it or
lifting it with hooks or ropes. (fig. 5)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The single-phase compressors are supplied complete with an
electrical cable and two-pole + earth power plug. The compressor
must be connected to a power socket provided with earth
connection. (fig. 6)
WARNING:
The earth connection must be achieved according to the industrial
safety standards (EN 60204). The plug of the power supply cable

RUNS WITHOUT OIL
must not be used as a switch but must be plugged into a power
socket that is controlled by a suitable differential switch (magneto
thermal switch).
Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on
the electrical data nameplate (fig. 7), the admitted tolerance range
must remain within ± 5%.
COMPRESSOR WITH TANK (Fig. 8): Turn or press, depending on
the type of pressure switch fitted on the equipment, the knob situated
in the upper part to «0» (fig. 9). Put the plug in the power socket (fig.
6) and turn the knob to «I». The compressor runs in a completely
automatic manner and is controlled by the pressure switch that stops
it when the pressure inside the tank reaches the maximum pressure
and starts it again when the pressure falls back down to the
minimum level.
The difference in pressure is usually 2 bar (29 psi) roughly between
the maximum and minimum value.
I.e.: the compressor stops when it reaches 8 bar (116 psi) (max.
running pressure) and is automatically re-started when the pressure
inside the tank falls to 6 bar (87 psi).
After having connected the compressor to the electrical power
supply line, load to the maximum pressure and check the correct
efficiency of the machine.
COMPRESSOR WITHOUT TANK (Fig. 10): Put the plug in the
power socket (fig. 6). Press the on/off push button situated on the
front control panel to start and stop the compressor (Fig.11).
NOTE: The head/cylinder/delivery hose unit situated beneath the
panelling may reach high temperatures therefore be careful when
working near these components and do not touch them to avoid
getting burned (fig. 12).
The electric compressors must be connected to a power socket that
is safeguarded by a suitable differential switch (magneto thermal
switch). Compressors of the silent series have an automatic
2,5
amperometric trip switch instead of the pressure switch, which is
2,5
reset manually. When the trip switch trips, wait a few minutes then

turn the compressor off and on again using the knob of the pressure
switch (fig. 19).

ADJUSTING THE WORKING PRESSURE (fig. 13)
It is not always necessary to use the maximum working pressure, on
the contrary the pneumatic tool usually requires less pressure.
Adjust the working pressure accurately in compressors provided with
pressure regulators. Release the knob of the pressure regulator by
pulling it outwards, adjust the pressure to the desired value by
turning the knob clockwise to increase it and anti-clockwise to
decrease it. Once the ideal pressure has been reached, block the
knob by pushing it downwards (fig. 13). In the case of pressure
regulators supplied without a gauge, the calibration pressure may be
seen on the graduated scale situated on the casing of the actual
regulator. In the case of pressure regulators supplied with a gauge,
the calibration pressure may be seen on the actual gauge.
Before servicing the compressor make sure that:
- the main line ON/OFF switch is on «0».
- the pressure switch or the line switch is on «0».
- there is no pressure in the air tank (only for model with tank).
The compressor generates condensate that accumulates in the tank.
The condensate needs to be drained from the tank at least once a
week by opening the discharge tap (Fig.14) situated on the outer
panels or under the tank (DE). Be careful if there is any compressed
air within the cylinder as the water could burst out with some force.
(Fig.4)
Recommended pressure 1 ÷ 2 bar max.
In units F with 2 poles, replace the whole connecting rod unit every
700 hours of operation.
In units F with 4 poles, replace the whole connecting rod unit every
1500 hours of operation.
In units GMS and VS, replace the sliding blocks and the
compression ring every 1500 hours of operation.
All the bearings are lubricated with grease for life with the exception
of the roller casing fitted on the connecting rod side of the GMS and
