Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the supply voltage.

Check the equipment for damage which may have occurred in transit. Report any damage immediately to the transport company which was used to deliver the compressor.
Install the compressor in the vicinity of the point of consumption.
Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension cables).
Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust free.
Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet room.
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.
Operate the equipment only on a firm, level surface.
Use flexible hoses in order to prevent transmitting unacceptable loads to the pipeline system at the connection between the compressor system and the pipeline system.
It is essential to use separators, traps and drains which process the liquids produced by the compressor before the compressor system is put into operation.
Supply hoses at pressures above 0,7 MPa (7 bar) should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, please contact the customer service workshop.
8.3 Safety valve (10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring with suﬃcient force until you can hear the compressed air being released. Then release the ring again. 8.4 Cleaning the intake ﬁlter (1)
The intake ﬁlter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to clean this ﬁlter after at least every 300 hours in operation. A clogged intake ﬁlter will decrease the compressor‘s performance dramatically. Open the halves of the air ﬁ lter housing. Use compressed air at low pressure (0,3 MPa 3 bar) to blow out all the parts of the ﬁlter and then assemble the ﬁlter in reverse order. When cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).
8.5 Storage
