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
depends upon proper machine care and regular
cleaning. Before interfering in any way whatsoever
with the compressor, please make sure that:
• T he switch button is in the "0" position and the
power plug is removed from the power socket
• T he air tank is fully decompressed (both
pressure gauges must be pointed at 0 Bar)
Malfunction
Should the machine fail to function correctly, a
number of possible causes and the appropriate
solutions are given below:
air loss
• M ay be caused by a poor seal of a connection.
• C heck all air connections by wetting them
with a soapy water solution ( Never use the
solution nearby electric connections )
• W hen the tank is empty and being filled.
The user might hear a sisseling sound by
the pressure switch. This is normal and
will stop before the compressor reach a
pressure of 1.5 bar
• C heck if the drain valve ( 14 ) is closed well
the compressor will not start
• I f the compressor is difficult to start, check:
• w hether the voltage of the mains corre-
sponds to that on the specification plate
(fig. 10)
• w hether electrical extension cables are
being used with a faulty core or length.
• w hether the operating environment is too
cold (below 0°C).
• w hether there is electricity supply (plug
properly connected, magneto-thermal
fuses not broken).
the compressor does not shut off
If the compressor does not shut off when the
maximum pressure has been reached, the safety
valve of the tank will be activated. It is necessary
8
to contact the nearest authorised Support Service
for the repair.
Repairs and servicing should only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
service firm.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a
soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth
moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.
These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
drain the tank
Compressing air will cause water in the tank.
Regularly drain the water from the tank to prevent
tank corrosion (fig 16):
• F irst reduce the pressure in the tank till
aprroxially 2 bar by connecting and activating
an air tool .
• T hen slowly turn the drain valve (14) on the
lower side of the tank open.
• T he water in the tank will now leak out of the
tank
Take care when compressed air is in the tank
because the water can come out with some force.
Recommended pressure max. 1-2 Bar.
Clean the air filter
It is recommended to disassemble the suction
filter every 50 operating hours and to clean the
filter element by blowing it with compressed air
(fig. 15). It is recommended that the filter element
is replaced at least once a year if the compressor
is working in a clean environment; more often
if the environment in which the compressor is
situated is dusty.
Replacing/topping up oil
The compressor has been supplied with synthetic
oil "SAE 10W30". It is recommend to fully
replace the oil of the pump system within the first
100 operating hours.
• U nscrew the drain plug (gauge) (13) on the
sump lid, let all the oil run out and screw back
the plug (fig. 17).
• F ill the oil via the upper hole of the sump lid
