PREPARATION

1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any shortages or damage. If anything is found to be missing or damaged contact your supplier.

2. Save the packing material for future transportation of the compressor. We recommend that you store the packing in a safe location, at least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the service centre.

3. The compressor should be operated on a flat surface, or one that does not exceed 10° either transversely or longitudinally (fig.1) and should be in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit (at least a 100cm gap).

4. Check oil level, consulting the reference marks on the stick (fig.2 + fig.2a) or the oil level inspection window depending on model
   Use only synthetic oil (see maintenance section for oil specification).

5. Confirm the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on compressor data plate.
   Have a qualified electrician wire in accordance with Section 1.1. and check that the motor operates in the correct direction.
   SAC62710B.V2 has a control box which requires mounting to a suitable wall and connecting to the mains by a qualified electrician.

6. When fully installed, start the compressor and ensure that everything is in good working order before operational use. Check the direction of rotation (see arrow on motor) to confirm correct wiring of 3-phase plug. Re-check oil levels.

OPERATION

• WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
• IMPORTANT! The use of extension leads to connect these compressors to the mains is not recommended as the resulting voltage drop reduces motor, and therefore pump performance which may cause damage to your compressor.
  NOTE: Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the pressure setting. DO NOT confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air taken in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air in’ due to losses within the compressor.

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR (SAC42055B.V2 & SAC52775B.V2)

1. Check that the ON/OFF switch (fig.3.1) is OFF in the “O” position.

2. Plug mains lead into mains supply and start the compressor by moving the pressure switch to the ON ‘I’ position. Check the direction of rotation (see arrow on belt cage) to confirm correct wiring of 3-phase plug.

3. When starting the compressor for the first time, leave it running with no air tools connected to the air outlet. Make sure that pressure in the tank rises and that the compressor stops automatically when the maximum pressure value allowed – written on the plate and shown on the gauge is achieved. The compressor will now operate automatically.
   The pressure switch stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is reached and restarts it when the pressure falls below the minimum threshold – approx. 2bar (29psi) less than the maximum pressure.

4. Stop the compressor by moving the pressure switch (fig.3.1) to the “O” position. The compressed air inside the compressor head will flow out, making the restart easier and preventing the motor from being damaged.
   DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains power, or by pulling the plug out, as the pressure relief will not then operate and motor damage may result upon restart.
   When the compressor runs correctly and is stopped correctly there will be:
   (a) a whistle of compressed air when the motor stops.
   (b) a protracted whistle (about 20-25 seconds) when the compressor starts with no pressure in the tank.

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR (SAC62710B.V2)

1. Turn the pressure switch (fig.3.1) to the “I” position. Turn the Isolation Switch (fig.4) to the “I” position, power on is signalled by the indicator light. Press the “on” button (fig.4) to start the compressor. Check the direction of rotation (see arrow on belt cage) to confirm correct wiring of 3-phase plug..
2. Stop the compressor by turning the Isolation Switch (fig.4) to the “0” position. The compressed air inside the compressor head will flow out, making the restart easier and preventing the motor from being damaged.
   DO NOT other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains power as the pressure relief will not then operate and motor damage may result upon restart.

NOTE:

• If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may be too small for the equipment or tool.
• The gauge (fig.3.2) indicates the pressure inside the main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment. Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch maximum, a safety valve will activate.
  WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the switch or safety valve.

MAINTENANCE

In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic maintenance is essential.

IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.

WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the compressor,disconnect from electricity supply and release all air from the tank.

OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT AFTER THE FIRST 50 WORKING HOURS:

• Check that all bolts/nuts are tight, particularly those retaining the crankcase and cylinder head.
• Replace the lubricating oil – see para 6.5.

OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT WEEKLY:

• Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the tank (fig.5). Place a container under the valve and open the valve by turning anticlockwise.
  WARNING! Take care if there is compressed air in the tank as water could flow out with considerable force. Recommended pressure 1 – 2bar max.

• Check oil level and if necessary, top up.
  OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 50 HOURS:
  (or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):

• Turn off the compressor and remove the filter element (fig.6). Using stored air from it’s tank, clean the filter with compressed air. (Wear eye protection and DO NOT direct air towards the body or hands). DO NOT operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump. Replace the filter element.

• Check for oil leaks.

OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 100 HOURS:

• Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2bar below.
• General clean up of the compressor.

OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT EVERY 400 HOURS:

• Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see 6.6. Remove the dipstick/breather plug then unscrew oil drain plug (fig.2, fig2a and fig.7), draining the oil into a container.
  Drain when the compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely.
  Replace oil drain plug and refill through the dipstick/breather aperture. DO NOT overfill.
  Replace dipstick.

• Replace air filter.

• Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.

• Inspect pressure tank inside and out for damage or corrosion.

WARNING! Never mix different oils and do not use non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged.

• WARNING! Dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.

RECOMMENDED OILS
Synthetic oil suitable for temperatures ranging from -5°C to 45°C, viscosity 5W50.
We do not recommend using mineral oil in these compressors.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLES

IMPORTANT WARNING – Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance. For example, body filler dust or paint overspray will clog the pump intake filter and may cause internal damage to the pump or motor.

Please note that any parts damaged by any type of contamination will not be covered by the warranty

Inspection of pressure tank both internal and external is essential. Under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS SAFETY REGULATIONS 2000 it is the responsibility of the owner of the compressor to initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency of the inspection and appoints a person who has specific responsibility for carrying out the inspection.

DO NOT carry out any welding operations on any pressurised parts of the vessel.
