the compressor observe the following instructions:
The compressor is equipped with an air flow adjuster which enables the
operator to control the working pressure. Said pressure can be visualised on
the manometer.
Before starting the petrol engine make sure the air hose is not under pressure
and the air outlet fitting is open.
-
Remove the electric cable and insert the plug in a current collector of adequate power.
Make sure if fits tightly and it ensures the connection of the poles of the plug to the grounding.
Make sure the mesh voltage corresponds to the value indicated on the table of the fairing. -

Maintenance:
Unscrew filter and clean it periodically by an air jet moving from the center

Because of the compressor and rapid expansion of the air inside the tank, the
humidity in the air condensates. It is therefore necessary to periodically
discharge the condensate from the tank by unscrewing the drain plug and
slightly tilting the tank.

approximately every 20/30hrs.
