REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.Repairs should be
conducted only by authorized service center.
SAFETY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This compressor should be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electric shocks. The compressor is equipped with a
three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit the
proper grounding plug socket. The green (or green and yellow)
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green
(or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
EXTENSION CORD
Only use extension cords with three conductor cord that have three-
prong grounding type plugs and threepole that accept the
compressor's plug. Replace or repair damaged cords socket. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and name plate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this compressor with a
damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord. Inspect all
electrical cords regularly. Never use in near water or in any
environment where electric shocks are possible

OTHER USERS OF THIS TOOL! OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance
of the compressor. Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual
may show details or attachments that differ from those on your
own compressor.
INSTALLATION
Remove the compressor from its packing, makes sure it is in perfect
condition, checking if it was damaged during transport, and carry out
the following operations. Fit the wheels on the tanks on which are not
already fitted, observing the instructions in fig.1. In case of infiatable
wheels, the maximum inflation pressure must be of 1,6 bar (24 psi).
Position the compressor on a flat surface or with a maximum
permissible inclination of 10°, in a well aired place protected against
atmospheric agents and not in a place subject to explosion hazard. If
the surface is inclined and smooth, check if the compressor does not
moves while in operation - if it does, secure the wheels with two
wedges. If the surface is a bracket or a shelf top, make sure it cannot
fall, securing it in a suitable way. To ensure good ventilation and
efficient cooling, the compressor's belt guard must be at least 100 cm
from any wall (fig. 2).
USE INSTRUCTIONS
 Take care to transport the compressor correctly, do not overturn it
or lift it with hooks or ropes - Replace the plastic plug on the guard
cover (fig.3- 4) with the oil level stick (fig.5) or with the relevant
breather plug (fig.6), supplied with the instructions booklet. Check
oil level, consulting the reference marks on the stick (fig.5) or the
oil level inspection window (fig.7).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Single-phase compressors are supplied with an electrical cable and
a two-pole + earth plug. The compressor must be connected to a
grounded power socket.

IMPORTANT:
Never use the ground socket instead of the neutral wire. The ground
connection must be made to meet safety standards(EN 60204). The
plug of the power cable must not be used as a switch, but must be
fitted in a power socket controlled by a suitable differential switch
(thermalbreaker).
STARTING
Check that the mains power matches that indicated on the electrical
data-plate the permissible tolerance range is +/-5%. When first starting
compressors operating on 3-phase voltage, check the rotation
direction of the cooling fan by comparing it with the direction of the
arrow on the belt guard or on the protective housing. Press the knob
located on the upper section of the pressure switch to "0" position. Fit
the plug in the power socket and start the compressor,turning the
pressure switch knob into "I" position. The compressor is fully
automatic, and is controlled by the pressure switch which stops it when
tank pressure reaches maximum value and restarts it when it falls to
minimum value. The pressure difference between maximum and
minimum values is usually about 2 bar (29 psi).After connecting the
compressor to the power line, load it to maximum pressure and check
exactly how the machine
head/cylinder/delivery tube unit can reach high temperatures. Take
care when working near these parts, and do not touch them to avoid
possible burns (fig.8-9).
IMPORTANT
The electro-compressors must be connected to a power socket
protected by a suitable differential switch (thermalbreaker). The
compressor motor is equipped with an automatic thermal breaker
located inside the winding - this stops the compressor when there
motor temperature reaches excessively high temperature. If the
breaker is tripped, the compressors restarts automatically after 10 to
15 minutes.The motors of the series compressors are
supplied with a manually resetting amperometric thermal-breaker,
located on the terminal board cover. When the breaker is tripped, wait
for a few minutes and then reset the breaker manually.
ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE (fig.10)
You do not have to use the maximum operating pressure at all times.
On the contrary, the pneumatic tool being used often requires less
pressure.On compressors supplied with a pressure reducer, operating
pressure must be correctly adjusted.Adjust pressure to the required
value by turning the knob (clockwise to increase pressure and anti-
clockwise to reduce its. Pressure can be seen on the gauge.
MAINTENANCE
Before attempting any maintenance jobs on the compressor, make
sure of the following: - Master power switch is in "0" position. - No
pressure in the air tank. Every 50 hours of duty, we advise you to
dismantle the suction filter and clean the filtering element by blowing
compressed air on to it (fig.11).You are recommended to replace the
filter element at least once if the compressor operates in a clean
environment, but more frequently if in a dusty environment. The
compressor generates condensation which accumulates in the
tank.The condensation in the tank must be drained at least once a
week by opening the drain tap (fig.12) under the tank.Take care if
there is compressed air inside the cylinder as water could flow out with
considerable force. Recommended pressure: 1 - 2 bar max.
Condensation from of compressors that are oil lubricated must not be
drained into the sewer or dispersed into the environment as it may
contain oil.
OIL CHANGES - TOPPING UP WITH OIL
The compressor is filled with synthetic oil "SAE 5W50".We recommend
a full change of oil in the pumping element within the first 100 hours of
duty. Unscrew the oil drain plug on the housing cover, allow all the oil
to flow out and re-screw the plug (fig. 13- 14).Pour oil into the upper
hole of the housing cover (fig. 15-16) until it reaches the level indicated
on the stick (fig.5) or indicator (fig.7) Once a week: check oil level of
