Preserve all the documentation so that anyone who uses the compressor can consult this beforehand.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

An ACOUSTIC PRESSURE value of 4 m. corresponds to the ACOUSTIC POWER value stated on the label located on the compressor, minus 20 dB.

BEFORE USE

• The compressor must be used in a suitable environment (well ventilated with an ambient temperature of between +5°C and +40°C) and never in places affected by dust, acids, vapors, explosive or flammable gases.
• Always maintain a safety distance of at least 4 meters between the compressor and the work area.
• Any coloring of the belt guards of the compressor during painting operations indicates that the distance is too short.
• Insert the plug of the electric cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations.
• Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and of suitable cross-section.
• The use of extension cables of different length and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.
• Always use the switch of the pressure switch to switch off the compressor
• Always use the handle to move the compressor.
• When operating, the compressor must be placed on a stable, horizontal surface to guarantee correct lubrication.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never direct the jet of air towards persons, animals or your body. (Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes against flying objects that may be lifted by the jet of air).
• Never direct the jet of liquids sprayed by tools connected to the compressor towards the compressor.
• Never use the appliance with bare feet or wet hands or feet
• Never pull the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket or to move the compressor.
• Never leave the appliance exposed to adverse weather conditions.
• Never transport the compressor with the receiver under pressure.
• Do not weld or machine the receiver. In the case of faults or rusting, replace the entire receiver.
• Never allow inexpert persons to use the compressor. Keep children and animals at a distance from the work area.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) withreduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not position flammable or nylon/fabric objects closed to and/or on the compressor.
• Never clean the compressor with flammable liquids or solvents. Check that you have unplugged the compressor and clean with a damp cloth only.
• The compressor must be used only for air compression. Do not use the compressor for any other type of gas.
• The compressed air produced by the compressor cannot not be used for pharmaceutical, food or medical purposes except after particular treatments and cannot be used to fill the air bottles of scuba divers.

**OPERATION**

• To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the technical dataplate (for example, S3-25 means 2.5 minutes ON, 7.5 minutes OFF). In the case of overheating, the thermal cutout of the motor trips, automatically cutting off the power when the temperature is too high. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature conditions are restored.
• To facilitate restart of the compressor, in addition to the operations indicated, it is important to return the button of the pressure switch to the OFF position and then to ON again (figures 1-2).
• Single-phase versions are fitted with a pressure switch equipped with a delayed closing air discharge valve which facilitates start-up of the motor. Therefore venting of air from this valve for a few seconds with the receiver empty is normal.
• All the compressors are fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch in order to assure machine safety. The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this safety device. Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized Service Center.
• The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure.
• When fitting a tool, the flow of air in output must be switched off.
• When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, pneumatic tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.).
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the compressor) to be used, are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
• Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

ASSEMBLY

**** You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time.

Fitting the wheels
Fit the supplied wheel kit as shown in fig. 3. Assembly by sequence: a, b, c, d, e.

Fitting the rubber foot

VOLTAGE

The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V – 50Hz shock-proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse. Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains volt­age complies with the specifications on the rating plate. Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeop­ardized as a result of stiffness.

Connection of the mains plug (electrical information for the BS plug)

**Important!**

The wires in the mains lead fitted to this product are coloured in accordance with the code shown in fig. 16.

• The 3 pin plug must comply to BS1363/A.
• Fuse must comply to BS1362.

If for any reason the 13 amp plug fitted to this product requires replacement
it must be wired in accordance with the following instruction:
Do not connect the brown (live) or blue (neutral) to the earth pin marked ‘E’ on the 3 pin plug.

Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked Neutral (N). Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked Live (L). Connect the Yellow & Green wire to the terminal marked Earth (E). Ensure that the outer insulation is gripped by the cord grip and that the wires are not trapped when replacing the plug cover. The mains lead on this product is fitted with a 13 amp (BS1363/A) plug. A 13 amp (BS1362) fuse must be fitted in the plug.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician
There are no user serviceable parts inside this product except those referred to in the manual. Always refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Never remove any part of the casing unless qualified to do so; this unit contains dangerous voltages.

Warning!
For your protection if this product is to be used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain or used in damp locations. Do not place the product on damp surfaces, use a workbench if available. For added protection use a suitable residual current device (R.C.D.) at the socket outlet.

Note: If the mains cable requires replacing it must be replaced with an identical one and fitted by a qualified person.

START-UP AND USE

• Check for correspondence between the compressor plate data with the actual specifications of the electrical system. A variation of ± 10% with respect of the rated value is allowed.
• Insert the plug of the power cable in a suitable socket ( fig. 6 ) checking that the button of the pressure switch located on the compressor is in the OFF «O» position.
• Check the oil level by means of the oil dipstick ( figures 7a- 7b ), and if necessary top up.
• At this point, the compressor is ready for use.
• Operating on the switch of the pressure switch ( fig. 1 ), the compressor starts, pumping air into the receiver through the delivery pipe.
• When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been reached, the compressor stops, venting the excess air present in the head and in the delivery pipe through a valve located under the pressure switch. This facilitates subsequent restart due to the absence of pressure in the head. When air is used, the compressor restarts automatically when the lower calibration value is reached (2 bar between upper and lower).
• The pressure in the receiver can be checked on the gauge provided ( fig. 8 ).
• The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic cycle until the switch of the pressure switch is turned.
• Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the compressor has been switched off before restarting this.
• All compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer. Operating on the knob with the tap open (turning it in a clockwise direction to increase the pressure and in a counterclockwise direction to reduce this, fig. 9) , air pressure can be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic tools.
• The value set can be checked on the gauge.
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
• Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed your work (figures 10-11).

MAINTENANCE

• BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION, ALWAYS PULL OUT THE PLUG AND DRAIN THE RECEIVER COMPLETELY (figures 10-11).

• Check that all screws (in particular those of the head of the unit) are tightly drawn up (torque 10 Nm = 1.02 Kgm).
  The control must be performed before the first start-up of the compressor and subsequently before the first intensive use in order to restore the correct closing torque value modified as a result of heat expansion.

• After loosening any safety screws, clean the intake filter according to the type of working environment and at least every 100 hours (figure 12). If necessary, replace the filter element (clogging of the filter reduces compressor performance and an inefficient filter causes increased wear).

• Replace the oil after the first 100 hours of operation and every 300 hours subsequently (figures 13a-13b-13c). Remember to check the oil level at regular intervals.
  Use SAE 40. (For cold climates, SAE 20 is recommended). Never mix different grade oils. If the oil changes color (whitish = presence of water; dark = overheated), it is good practice to replace the oil immediately.

• Periodically (or after working with the compressor for more than an hour), drain the condensate that forms inside the receiver (fig. 11) due to the humidity in the air. This protects the receiver from corrosion and does not restrict its capacity.

• Spent oil (lubricated models) and condensate MUST BE DISPOSED OF in accordance with environmental protection regulations and current legislation.
