Electrical safety Earthing regulations This compressor has to be earthed while in use in order to protect the operator against electrical shocks. The compressor is provided with a two- core cable plus an earth. The electrical connection hastobemadebyaqualifiedtechnician.We recommend never disassembling the compressor and neither making any other connections into the pressure regulator. Repairs should be carried out by authorised Support Services or by other qualified centres. Never forget that the earthing core is the green or the yellow/green wire. Never connect this green wire to a terminal under load. Beforereplacingtheplugofthefeed,makesure thattheearthcableisconnected.Ifindoubt, please call in a qualified electrician and have the earthing checked. Power supply

• Thecompressorisequippedwithamains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V~/50Hz shock proof socket which is protected by a 16A fuse.

• Themotorisfittedwithanoverloadswitch (15).Ifthecompressoroverloads,the overload switch switches the equipment off automatically to protect the compressor from overheating.Iftheoverloadswitchtriggers, switchoffthecompressorusingtheON/OFF switch (3) and wait until the compressor cools down. Then press the overload switch (15) and restart the compressor.

• Longsupplycables,extensions,cablereelsetc cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. Do not use cables longer than 10m. Fermadvisestousealongerairhoseinstead.

For household use only NB:Theinformationyouwillfindinthismanual has been written to assist the operator in the use and maintenance of the compressor. Some illustrations in this manual show details which may differ from those of your compressor. Installation After having taken the compressor out of its packaging (fig. 1) and having checked that it is inperfectcondition,andhavingnotedthatno damageoccurredduringtransport,thefollowing actsshouldbeperformed.Ifnotyetfitted,fitthe rubber feet and the wheels on the tank according7

to the instructions represented in fig. 2. Place the compressor on a flat surface or at a maximum slope of10°(fig.3),inawellventilatedarea,protected against atmospheric factors and not in explosive surroundings.Ifthesurfaceareaisslopingand smooth,makesurethatthecompressorwillnot movewheninoperation.Ifthesurfaceareaisa boardorashelfofabookcase,justmakesurethat they cannot fall down by securing them properly. Forproperventilationandeffectivecooling,itis 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. Beforeuse,removethetransportcaponthecarter (12),andreplaceitbytheregularoilcap(fig7). Beforeuse,ensurethatoillevelissufficient. This can be checked by checking the oil inspectionglass(13).Whencompressorisplaced horizontally,theoillevelshallreachtheredmark. Installing the air filters. Remove the transport lids and replace them with the supplied air filters before using the compressor. Starting up

• Checkwhetherthemainsvoltagecorresponds to that indicated on the electrical specification plate(fig.10),thepermittedtolerancerange should be within 5%.

• Presstheswitch(3)situatedontheupperpart intothe“0”positionaccordingtothepressure regulator type fitted on the device (fig. 11).

• Puttheplugintheplugsocket(fig.9)andstart the compressor up by putting the switch(3) ofthepressureregulatorinthe“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.Forinstance-Thecompressorwillstop 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 parts and do not touch them to avoid burns (fig. 12 - 13). Adjusting the operating pressure Fig. 14 Itisnotnecessarycontinuouslytousethe maximumoperatingpressure,thecompressed-air toolsoftenrequirelesspressure.Withregardto compressors supplied with a pressure reduction valve it is necessary to set the operating pressure properly. Itispossibletosettheoperatingpressureby using the turning knob(5) on the reduction valve.

• Byturningclockwise,thepressurewillbe increased.

• Byturninganti-clockwise,thepressurewillbe reduced. The compressor has two pressure gauges and onepointtoconnectanairhose:

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 withthecompressor,pleasemakesurethat:

• Theswitchbuttonisinthe“0”positionandthe power plug is removed from the power socket

Repairs and servicing should only be carried out by a qualified technician or service firm. Cleaning Regularly clean the machine housing with a softcloth,preferablyaftereachuse.Keepthe ventilation slots free from dust and dirt. Ifthedirtdoesnotcomeoffuseasoftcloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents suchaspetrol,alcohol,ammoniawater,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 tankcorrosion(fig16):

• Thenslowlyturnthedrainvalve(14)onthe lower side of the tank open.

• Thewaterinthetankwillnowleakoutofthe 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 Itisrecommendedtodisassemblethesuction filter every 50 operating hours and to clean the filter element by blowing it with compressed air (fig.15).Itisrecommendedthatthefilterelement 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“SAE10W30”.Itisrecommendtofully replace the oil of the pump system within the first 100 operating hours.

(fig.18) until the level indicated on the gauge (13) (fig. 8) has been reached. Checktheoillevelofthepumpsystem every week and if necessary top up. The synthetic oil has the advantage that it does not lose its characteristics, either in summer or in winter periods.
