Never leave the machine unattended with the power supply "on". Also
disconnect the power cable when:
- you leave the machine, even for a short time
- not in use
- carrying out maintenance work
- changing attachment or moving the machine.
WARNING: the warnings, cautions and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.
Only those persons who are aware of how to use the compressor by having read
this manual, should use the machine. Injudicious use may cause danger.
Danger plates (page 56)
The plates fitted on the compressor unit are part of the machine; they have been
applied for safety purposes and must not be removed or spoiled for any reason.
3.0 PLACING
The compressor should be placed in such way that all points, destined to carry it will
really do so. Take also care of a horizontal position. The engine should get sufficient
cooling air; so never cover the ventilating openings.
Place the compressor in a cool dustfree space. Never place the compressor in a
room where will be sprayed. Paint spray will clog the air filter and will also deposit on
the compressor.
Mind that the draintap for condensation water (10), the oil drain plug (9) and the oil
plug (6) will always remain attainable. We suggest to leave a space of aproximately
30 cm for ventilation and maintenance.
Notice: Insufficient air supply, too high temperature and fouling of the air filter
reduce the efficiency of the compressor considerably.
3.1 ELECTRIC CONNECTION
At the factory the machine is already fully equipped with cables. The machine now
has to be connected to your own electricity supply. Connect the machine to a
separate group. Beware that voltage and amperage of your electric circuit meet the
needs of the motor. Use only cables with the right diameter. The factory suggests to
use cables of at least 2.5 qmm and a maximum length of 10 meter.
Before first use first read chapters 3.2 and 4.0.
3.2 AIR CONNECTION
Best use for connection of the compressor to an air circuit a flexible hose, to isolate
fibrations from the machine.
