19 STARTING AT LOW TEMPERATURES

Warning: if the room temperature may fall below 0°C it is essential to protect all pipe/hosework and
condensate drains with suitable insulation. This will prevent blockage due to ice, which can cause
dangerous damages to the air reservoir.
If the room temperature remains constant around 0°C it is recommended to use a synthetic oil as
the one indicated on the table.
Recommended procedure for start-up with cold temperature (below 0 °C):
a Start the motor up for 5 seconds then switch off before the pressure rises.
b Repeat phase a.
c Temporarily start the compressor, checking that the pressure rises to a value close to the
maximum working pressure
for example:
d Switch off the compressor immediately when pressure at phase c is reached.
e Repeat phases c - d.
f Finally, start the compressor, making sure that the pressure is not exceeded due to the formation
of ice in the hoses and/or icing up of the retaining valve.
