9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work on the appliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled
down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any
cleaning and maintenance work.
9.1 Cleaning
●
Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow
it with compressed air at low pressure.
●
We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately
after you use it.
● Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be
aggressive to the plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure
that no water can get into the interior of the appliance.
●
You must disconnect any pneumatic tools from the
compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compressor
with water, solvents or the like.
●
Keep the reel hose clean to allow proper sliding.
9.2 Condensation water (Fig. 11)
The condensation water must be drained off each day
by opening the drain valve (ref. 3) (on the bottom of the
pressure vessel).
Warning!
Dispose of the condensation water in an environmentally
compatible manner at the appropriate collection point.
9.3 Safety valve (ref. 10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted
pressure of the pressure vessel.
It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve. Actuate the
safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when
required. Turn the nut until you can hear the compressed
air being released (Fig. 12). Then screw it back on.
Always keep the safety valve and the surrounding area
clean and free of obstructions.
Always keep the safety valve and the surrounding area
clean and free of obstructions.
9.4
Cleaning the intake filter (ref. 1)
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in.
It is essential to clean this filter after at least every 100
hours in service. A clogged intake filter will decrease the
compressor’s performance dramatically.
The body of the intake filter is irremovable, it
MUST
NEVER
be removed. To clean or replace the filtering
element, simply remove the cover. To remove the cover,
unscrew counterclockwise.
Clean the filtering element by tapping it to remove the dirt,
blast it down with low-pressure compressed air (approx. 3
bar) and re-insert it.
9.5 Storage
Warning!
Disconnect the plug from the socket, vent the
appliance and tools connected to it and empty the
condensate.
Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is
secured in such a way that it cannot be started up
again by any unauthorized person.
Warning!
Keep the compressor only in dry environment and not
accessible to unauthorized persons.
Protect it with a cloth to prevent dust from settling on
the internal mechanisms.
If the compressor remains inactive for long periods,
check that it is working correctly before starting to use
it again.
