START-UP AND USE
● Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the
actual specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with
respect of the rated value is allowed.
● Insert the plug of the power cable in a suitable socket checking that the I/O
switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position.
● At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
● Operating on the I/O switch, the compressor starts, pumping air into the
receiver through the delivery pipe.
● When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been
reached, the compressor stops.
When air is used, the compressor restarts automatically when the lower
calibration value is reached (2 bar between upper and lower).
● The pressure in the receiver can be checked on the gauge provided.
● The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle
until the I/O switch is turned.
● Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been
switched off before restarting this.
● All compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer (ref. 7). Operating on the
knob with the tap open (turning it in a clockwise direction to increase the
pressure and in a counterclockwise direction to reduce it), air pressure can
be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic tools.
● The value set can be checked on the gauge (ref. 6).
● The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (ref. 5).
● Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working
pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the
pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air
supplied by the compressor.
● Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed
your work.

POSSIBLE FAULTS AND RELATED PERMITTED REMEDIES
FAULT
Reduction of performance. Frequent start-up.
Low pressure values.
The compressor stops and restarts
automatically after a few minutes.
After a few attempts to restart, the compressor
stops.
The compressor does not stop and the safety
valve is tripped.
Any other type of operation must be carried out by authorized Service Centers, requesting original parts. Tampering with the machine may impair
its safety and in any case make the warranty null and void.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Warning!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work
on the appliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and
maintenance work.
Never clean the machine and its components with solvents, flammable or
toxic liquids. Us only a damp cloth making sure you have unplugged the
compressor from the current outlet.
After approx. 2 hours of use, the condensate that has formed must be
drained from the receiver. First of all, vent all the air using the accessory
connected, as described above.
The condensation water must be drained off each day by opening the drain
valve (ref. 11 - Fig. 9) (on the bottom of the pressure vessel).
Warning!
If the water that condenses is not drained, it may corrode the receiver,
reducing its capacity and impairing safety.
As it is a contaminating product, condensate must be DISPOSED of
in accordance with laws on protection of the environment and current
legislation.
5. STORAGE
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all
connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure
that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any
unauthorized person.
6. DISPOSAL
The compressor must be disposed in conformity with the methods
provided for by local regulations.
7. WARRANTY AND REPAIR
In the event of defective goods or requirements for spare parts, kindly
contact the sales point where you made your purchase.
CAUSE
Excessive performance request, check for any
leaks from the couplings and/or pipes. Intake
filter may be clogged.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheating of the motor.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheating of the motor (removal of the
plug with the compressor running, low power
voltage).
Irregular functioning of the compressor or
breakage of the pressure switch.
19
REMEDY
Replace the seals of the fitting, clean or replace
the filter.
Clean the air ducts in the conveyor. Ventilate
the work area.
Activate the on/off switch. Ventilate the work
area. Wait a few minutes. The compressor will
restart independently. Remove any power cable
extensions.
Remove the plug and contact the Service
Center.
