20. OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT THE RATED
VOLTAGE: if using the compressor at a higher voltage
than the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast
motor revolution and may damage the unit.
21. NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS
DEFECTIVE OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY: if the
compressor appears to be operating unusually, making
strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop
using it immediately and arrange for repairs by an au-
thorized service center.
22. DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOL-
VENT: solvents such as gasoline, thinner, benzene,
carbon tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and
crack plastic parts. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
23. USE ONLY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS:
replacement parts which are not original may void your
warranty and can lead to malfunction and resulting inju-
ries.
24. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR. Always
contact the authorized service center for any repairs.
Unauthorized modification may not only impair the
compressor performance but may also result in acci-
dent or injury to repair personnel.
25. TURN OFF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WHEN
THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT IN USE: turn the knob of
the pressure switch OFF, disconnect it from the power
source and open the drain cock to discharge the com-
pressed air from the air tank.
26. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACES: do not touch
tubes, heads, motors and cylinder.
27. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY
28. DRAIN TANK DAILY. Corrosion must be preven-
ted: depending on the conditions of use, condensate
may accumulate inside the tank and must be drained
every day. Periodical service inspection of the air recei-
ver is needed, as internal corrosion can reduce the ste-
el wall thickness with the consequent risk of bursting.
Local rules need to be respected, if applicable.
29. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING
OUT THE PLUG: use the "0/OFF" knob of pressure
switch.
30. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED AIR HANDLING
PARTS ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESSURE not less than
the maximum rated pressure.

1.3 INTENDED USE

This compressor has been designed for use with in-
termittent (not continuous) operation.
Please check service factor on the CE label:
Ex. S3 - 25% = 2,5 minutes run and 7 minutes stop,
considering ideal enviromental condition (max temp
25°C).
Respect of these tips and regular maintenance will
ensure good functioning.
Compressors on wheels with power greater or equal
than 3Hp/2,2 kW, are intended to be use indoor.

1.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The compressor should be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electric shock.
Single- phase compressor is equipped with a
three-core cable and three-pin grounding type plug to
fit the proper grounding type socket.
Three-phase compressor is supplied with electrical
cable without plug. Connection should be conducted
only by qualified electrician
The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the
cord is the grounding wire. Never connect it to a live
terminal.
Never disassemble the compressor or carry out
other connections to the pressure switch.
1.5 USE OF EXTENSION CABLE
Use only three-way extension cables that have
three-pin connecting plugs and three-pole sockets that
accept the compressor plug.
Do not use extension cables that are damaged or
squashed. An under-rated cable will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Check table A (pag.8) in order to choose cable cor-
rect size.
WARNING: Avoid electrical shock hazard.
Never use this compressor with a damaged or frayed
electrical cord or extension cord.
Never use in or near water or in any environment
where electric shocks are possible.

2. INSTALLATION AND USE

2.1 INSTALLATION
Remove the compressor from its packing (fig.1), makes
sure it is in perfect condition, checking if it was damaged
during transport, and carry out the following operations:
• Transport the compressor correctly, (fig.4).
• Transport the compressor correctly, do not overturn it
or lift it with hooks or ropes (fig. 5/6).
• If the surface is inclined, check if the compressor mo-
ves while in operation, if it does, secure the wheels with
suitable means. The compressor can operate both in
horizontal (fig. 2) and vertical position.
• To ensure good ventilation and efficient cooling, it is
important for the compressor to be at least 50 cm from
any obstacle (fig. 3).
2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Single-phase compressors Single-phase com-
pressors are supplied with an electrical cable and a
two-pole + earth plug (on the rear of the compressor)
(fig. 5). It is important to connect the compressor to a
grounded power socket. (fig.5).
NOTE: any damage caused by incorrect connections
of the power line to the mains, automatically excludes
warranty of electrical parts.
To avoid connection errors, we suggest you to
contact a specialised technician.
