CONDENSATE DRAINAGE FROM THE AIR RESERVOIR

It is necessary to drain the condensate from the tank after each use. The condensate that forms inside the tank due to the moisture in the air should be drained periodically (or after work has been completed for more than an hour). This is to protect the tank from rust and not to limit its capacity.

• The drainage should be made under a pressure of max. 1 -2 bar.

• Tilt the tank to the lowest possible position of the drain outlet located at the bottom of the tank fig.C1(12K020-1) or fig.C2/3(12K021-1/12K022-1).

• Carefully unscrew the screw; the air pressure will displace the condensate from the tank.

• When there is only clean air in the tank, turn and tighten the screw.

SAFETY VALVE CONTROL

• Check the condition of the safety valve before each use.

• Ensure that the tank is empty during the test. The pressure gauge Fig. B4 should indicate 0 bar.

• Remove the air filter cap.

• Remove the filter cartridge.

• To remove dirt, gently tap the filter against a hard surface. Never try to brush away the dirt, brushing may force the dirt into the fibres. If the filter is excessively dirty, replace it with a new one. MAINTENANCE TABLE Before each use Drain the condensate from the tank Check for unusual sounds or vibrations Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened Every 10 hours of operation Clean the air filter Every 40h of operation Check the air system for leaks using soapy water Maintenance should be carried out more frequently if the compressor is used near paint spraying operations or in a dusty environment.
