5. POINTS TO NOTE WHEN SETTING
UP THE COMPRESSOR
G
● Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report
B
any damage immediately to the company which delivered
the compressor.
● The compressor should be set up near the working
consumer.
● The use of extension cords is not recommended.
● Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
● Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
● The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with
good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to
+40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive
gases or inflammable gases in the room.
● The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It
is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work
is conducted with sprayed water.
Attention!
This compressor shall only be used fixed to a wall
suitable to support its weight; it is forbidden to use
the compressor in any other configuration.
6. INSTALLATION
After removing the compressor from the packaging and
checking its integrity, make sure that all the components
listed in the "packaging contents list" are present inside
the packaging.
Before starting the installation of the compressor, it is nec-
essary to obtain the materials and/or tools shown in figure
1 (NOT supplied), more precisely:
– Measuring tape,
– Adhesive tape,
– Scissors,
– Spirit level,
– Drill/screwdriver,
– Cross head screwdriver,
– Screws (4),
– Expansion plugs (4).
Warning!
For fixing on solid or concrete walls, use screws and
expansion plugs. For fixing on any other surface
(previously verify that the wall can support the weight
of the compressor), purchase appropriate screws and
plugs.
For fixing, it is recommended to use the help of a
second person.
Choose the position where the compressor shall be
mounted in a way that the appliance has enough space to
rotate more than 170° degrees and that the compressed
air hose can be easily reached.
To obtain good ventilation and effective cooling, it is impor-
tant that the compressor is at least 50 cm away from any
wall and/or obstacle (fig. 2), with the exception of the wall
itself where the compressor is fixed.
6.1 Wall fixing
Observe the specifications indicated in this manual (fig-
ures 3, 4 and 5).
● Use the instructions sheet (supplied) as a template to
mark the points where to make the holes for fixing (fig. 3).
Remove and keep the sheet for future consultation and/
or reuse.
● With an 8 mm bit, drill four holes in the wall (fig. 4), and
insert the expansion plugs (fig. 5).
● Insert the screws, taking care to previously insert the
rubber spacers (fig. 5).
● Almost fully tighten the screws (fig. 6 - phase I).
● Place the compressor in correspondence with the four
screws, then hang it taking care to insert each slot of
the compressor frame onto the screws: as shown in fig.
6 - phase II.
● Gently lower the compressor, so that all four screws can
be inserted into the narrow shape of the slot, as shown
in fig. 6 - phase III.
● Fully tighten the four screws (fig. 7).
7. SETTING
7.1 Connection to the network
The compressor is equipped with a power cord (the plug
is not earthed). Insert the plug of the power cord into a
socket suitable regarding shape, voltage and frequency
and compliant with current regulations. Before commis-
sioning, make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to
the operating voltage indicated on the data plate of the
appliance. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is not in the I
(ON) position. Power cords that are too long as well as
extensions, cable reels, etc. cause a voltage drop and can
prevent the engine from starting. At low temperatures be-
low +5°C, starting the engine can be more difficult.
7.2 Start-up and use
● Check the compliance of the compressor plate data with
the real data of the electrical system; a voltage variation
of ± 10% with respect to the nominal value is admitted.
● Connect the desired pneumatic tool to the quick coupling
(ref. 5).
– The reel (ref. 3) is built with an automatic lock-
ing mechanism that allows the hose (ref. 4) to be
stopped at the desired length.
Never let the hose rewind in an uncontrolled
way.
– The locking system produces a metallic sound
during unwinding and winding; it is not a sign of a
defect.
