Use and maintenance manual
MCH-36
- After switching off the compressor wait about 30 minutes before carrying out any
maintenance tasks so as to prevent burns.
- The high pressure flex hose that connects to the bottle (also called the refill hose) must be
in good condition, especially in the areas near the fittings.
The plastic sheath that covers the pipe must not show any signs of abrasion otherwise
damp could get in, corrode the steel braid and weaken it.
The hose must be changed periodically (yearly) or when it shows signs of wear. Failure to
observe this rule could seriously endanger the users’ safety.
Make sue the minimum bending radius of the hose is no less than 250 mm.
DANGER:
- Before carrying out any work on the compressor each operator must have a perfect
understanding of how the compressor works, know how to use the controls and have read
the technical information contained in this manual.
- It is forbidden to use the compressor under conditions / for purposes other than those
indicated in this manual and AEROTECNICA COLTRI Srl cannot be held liable for
breakdowns, problems or accidents caused by failure to observe this rule.
- Check that the fittings provide a proper seal by wetting them with soapy water: eliminate
any leaks.
- Do not attempt to repair high pressure hoses by welding them.
- Do not empty the bottles completely, not even during winter storage as this practice
prevents damp air getting in.

important.
DANGER:
To ensure maximum working efficiency,
AEROTECNICA COLTRI Srl
has constructed the compressor with
carefully selected components and materials. The compressor is tested prior to delivery. Continued
compressor efficiency over time will also depend on proper use and maintenance as per the instructions
contained in this manual.
All the components, connections and controls used in its construction have been designed and built to a high
degree of safety so as to resist abnormal strain or in any case a strain greater than that indicated in the
manual. Materials are of the finest quality; their introduction and storage in the company and their utilisation
in the workshop are controlled constantly so as to prevent any damage, deterioration or malfunction.
