ATENTION. Some pressure regulators do not have "push to lock", therefore simply
turn the knob to regulate the pressure.
Before carrying out any work on the compressor, make sure of the following:
- The main switch is in position "0".
- The pressure switch and the control unit switches must be turned off in position "0".
- The air tank must not be under pressure.
Every 50 operating hours, it is advisable to remove the suction filter and clean it by
blowing compressed air (Fig. 17).
It is advisable to change the filter element at least once a year if the compressor works
in a clean environment and more frequently if the environment in which the compres-
sor is installed is dusty.
The compressor produces condensate water which is stored
in the tank. It is necessary to discharge the condensate from
the tank at least once a week by opening the drainage tap
(fig. 18) underneath the tank. Pay attention if there is
compressed air inside the cylinder, the water could come
out with a lot of thrust. Recommended pressure is max. 2
bar. The oil-lubricated compressor condensate must not be
discharged into the sewer or dispersed into the environment
as it contains oil.
The compressor is provided with FIAC Oil Synthesis. Within the first 100 hours it is
advisable to completely change the oil in the pump. Unscrew the oil drain cap in the
crankcase cover, drain all the oil and screw the cap back on (fig. 19 - 20).
Pour the oil through the upper hole
in the crankcase cover.
(fig. 21 - 22) until the level
indicated on the oil dipstick (fig. 9)
or indicator light (fig. 10) is
reached. Check the oil level
weekly (fig. 10) and restore if
necessary.
Use synthetic oil for operation at an ambient temperature of -5 °C to +40 °C.
Synthetic oil has the advantage of retaining its characteristics during the winter and
summer seasons. Burned oil must not be discharged into the sewer or spread into the
environment.
