Use and maintenance manual
MCH-36
If the compressor is installed in an area without the
necessary ventilation requisites described in section
5.3.1 “Positioning”, it will be necessary to install an
air intake extension leading in from outdoors or a
place with the cited ventilation requisites.
- The extension, supplied as an optional, must be
connected to the intake connector (a).
- Connect the extension pipe to the fitting.
- Pass the pipe through the hole on the
side panel (b) (Silent version).
- Fit the supplementary air intake filter
on the end of the extension pipe.
- Position the end of the extension with the air
intake filter in a properly ventilated area
sheltered from weather and exhaust fumes.
- Point the air intake against the wind.
- Check that there are no kinks or breaks along the
pipe. If it is damaged replace it.
5.3.2 - AIR INTAKE EXTENSION CONNECTION
Use only a flexible pipe with internal steel braiding reinforcement so as to prevent kinks and
a consequent reduction of cross-section.
WARNING:
Do not aspirate harmful gases or exhaust fumes.
WARNING:
Attach the bottle refill hoses as follows:
- Screw the hoses onto the fittings (a)
- Use a dynamometric wrench to tighten the
hoses to the compressor with a torque of 15 Nm.
5.3.3 - REFILL HOSE CONNECTION
The hoses must be replaced periodically (yearly or every 1000 hours) or when there are signs of
wear/abrasion.
The minimum bending radius of the hoses is 250 mm.
