Frequently Asked Questions - MK212M Shuttle Fini

How do I adjust the working pressure?
Use the pressure reducer knob: turn clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease. Check the pressure on the manometer. After use, set pressure to zero to avoid damaging the reducer.
What type of oil should I use?
Use only recommended oils from the manual, such as Shell Rimula D Extra 15W-40 or Castrol Aircol PD100. Do not mix oils or use non-detergent oils. For temperatures below +5°C use ISO 68; above +25°C use ISO 150.
How often should I change the oil?
Change the oil after the first 50 working hours, then every 6 months. Drain when hot by removing the dipstick and unscrewing the drain screw, then refill to max level.
What should I do if the compressor doesn't start?
Check if the overload cutout has tripped. Press the reset button on the pressure switch after waiting 5 minutes. If it trips again, contact an Authorized Service Centre. Also verify power supply.
How do I drain condensation from the tank?
Open the drain cock located under the tank or pressure reducer weekly. Let water drain until air flows out, then close. This prevents corrosion.
What is the overload cutout and how to reset it?
The overload cutout is a safety device that trips when the motor overheats. To reset, turn off the compressor, wait 5 minutes, then press the reset button (pos. OFF/ON on pressure switch). If it trips again, call service.
Can I use the compressor for continuous operation?
No, this compressor is designed for intermittent duty with a maximum 50% duty cycle. Continuous operation should not exceed 15 minutes to prevent overheating.
How do I clean the suction filter?
Remove the suction filter monthly (or more often in dusty areas). Clean or replace the filtering component. Never operate the compressor without the filter installed.
What are the recommended maintenance schedules?
Weekly: check oil level, drain condensation. Monthly: clean intake filter. Every 6 months: change oil, clean finned parts. Every 2 years: check non-return valve and intake/delivery valves.
How do I transport the compressor?
Ensure the tank is depressurized. Use the wheels if available. Do not tilt more than 15° to prevent oil spillage. For larger models (100L), use a hoist.
