application for which it is designed (air
compression for industrial use).
Before starting, ensure that compressor
is
fi
lled with oil.
Please refer to Section 8 of this manual
for the oil type to be used.
Never operate the compressor if there is
a possibility of inhaling smoke or toxic or
fl
ammable vapors.
Never operate the compressor at higher
pressures than those indicated in the id
plate.The air delivered by the compressor
must not be used for breathing, unless it
is
fi
ltered and puri
fi
ed from oil.
If hoses are used to distribute the air,
ensure they are properly sized and
suitable for the operating pressure, and
not damaged or worn. Please remember
that rubber hoses should be replaced at
regular intervals.
Never remove the oil
fi
ller plug when
the machine is running or there is still
pressure inside the compressor: as hot
oil may spray out.
Although it has an acceptable sound
pressure level, the machine can produce
a much higher noise if the room is narrow
and reverberating. Please note that the
continuous presence of an operator is
unnecessary. For safety against noise, in
compliance with local laws in force, and if
necessary, place speci
fi
c warning signs
near the machine and equip personnel
with suitable protections
Installation
Besides fulfi
lment of rules and
regulations issued by the authorities,
it is recommended to consider the
following:
The compressor will perform most
ef
fi
ciently if installed in a suitable area
that is well ventilated and far from
sources of heat.
Should any duct be installed for the
suction and cooling of air, always use
the data and recommendations given in
Section 4 and preferably obtain expert
advice during the design stage.
In the event of outdoors installation
(discouraged in very cold climates), the
machine must be placed under a canopy
or a cover to protect it from atmospheric
elements.
Be most careful to prevent any foreign
material from clogging the radiator,
thus provoking surges in the operating
temperature.
The intake air must be cleaned and free
from
fl
ammable vapors that could cause
fi
res or explosions.
The control and safety devices should
never be tampered with.
If there are one or more compressors
installed on one pneumatic line, it is
absolutely necessary that each be
supplied with an isolation valve.
The electrical connections should
comply with the regulations in force.
The machines should be connected to
the ground and protected by a magneto-
thermal switch against possible short
circuits.
It is absolutely necessary that a power
disconnect switch be installed near of the
compressor.
Maintenance
The person responsible for
operation of the compressor
should check periodically that all
instructions for operation and maintenance
are followed by the operator.
Only trained staff should carry out
maintenance, with the compressor off
and with internal pressure relieved. Also
isolate the compressor from the pneumatic
equipment.
Disconnect and lock out the main power
supply.
