Use and maintenance manual
MCH-36
Damage and accidents are often caused by maintenance errors, such as:
- no oil,
- insufficient cleaning,
- compressed air circuit inefficiency (flex hoses damaged, loose pipes, screws etc.).
Maintenance work must be carried out with due care and attention: your safety depends on it.
Never postpone repairs.
Repairs must only be carried out by specialised or authorised personnel.
Always observe the following safety regulations, even when you become completely familiar with working
procedures:
- Keep the compressor and the surrounding area clean at all times.
- Before starting work check that safety devices/guards are in good working order.
- Make sure no-one is in the compressor danger zone. Interrupt work if anyone is in the danger zone and
tell them to leave.
- Never leave the machine unattended when it is on.
