IF THE COMPRESSOR
SWITCHED OFF FOR MORE THEN TWO
MONTHS, PLEASE
FOLLOWS :
kW 22
a) reach the intake valve (A) by: detaching
cover (C) and removing the air intake
filter cartridge (B)
b) put in 100 cc of proper oil
c) run compressor for ten seconds
d) repeat stage b an other time
replace the parts, and start unit.

19 STARTING AT LOW TEMPERATURES
Warning: if the room temperature may fall below 0°C it is essential to protect all pipe/hosework and
condensate drains with suitable insulation. This will prevent blockage due to ice, which can cause
dangerous damages to the air reservoir.
If the room temperature remains constant around 0°C it is recommended to use a synthetic oil as
the one indicated on the table.
Recommended procedure for start-up with cold temperature (below 0 °C):
Start the motor up for 5 seconds then switch off before the pressure rises.
a
Repeat phase a.
b
Temporarily start the compressor, checking that the pressure rises to a value close to the
c
maximum working pressure
for example:
Switch off the compressor immediately when pressure at phase c is reached.
d
Repeat phases c - d.
e
Finally, start the compressor, making sure that the pressure is not exceeded due to the formation
f
of ice in the hoses and/or icing up of the retaining valve.
