Use and maintenance manual
MCH-36
Before doing any maintenance work, stop the
engine and make sure the compressed air system is
depressurised.
If other people start the engine or act on the
control pushbuttons/keys while maintenance
work is in progress there is a risk of serious
injury or death.
To obviate these dangers always place warning
signs around the compressor before carrying out
maintenance.
The routine maintenance tasks described in this manual must only be carried out by trained, authorised
personnel.
For component maintenance/revision tasks not covered by this manual please contact
AEROTECNICA
COLTRI S.r.l.
Use only manufacturer-recommended tools; do not use worn, damaged, poor quality or improvised tools as
they can cause injury.
3.4 - MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
3.4.1 - WARNING SIGNS
3.4.2 - TOOLS
3.4.3 - PERSONNEL
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage or injury caused by the use of tools
that are not prescribed or modified without authorisation.
WARNING:
Oil and grease stains, scattered tools or broken pieces constitute a danger to personnel as they may cause
slips and falls. Always keep the compressor and the surrounding work area clean and tidy.
Clean the compressor with a pressurised hot water or steam jet and commercially available detergents. Do
not use diesel, petrol or solvents as the former leave an oily film that causes dust to stick while solvents (even
where weak) damage the paintwork and can lead to rust.
If the water jet gets inside the electrical parts it could, in addition to oxidising the contacts, prevent the machi-
ne being started or even cause
a sudden, unexpected start
.
For this reason
never
use water or steam jets on sensors or connectors.
Periodically check the following components, which are important for fire prevention:
- compressed air system: main compressed air circuit delivery hoses;
- bottle refill system: flex hoses for bottle refill.
Even though they may appear to be in good condition, these components must be periodically replaced with
new ones. Over time these components tend to deteriorate.
Should any of these parts prove to be faulty, replace or repair them ahead of schedule.
