W ARNING
The elec tric compress ors mus t be c onnected to a power soc ket
that is safeguarded by a s uitable differential s witch (magneto
thermal s witch).
ADJUSTING THE W ORKING PRESSURE (fi g. 11) It is not
always necess ary to us e the maxi mum wor king pressure, on the
contrar y the pneumatic tool usually requires l ess press ure. Adjust
the wor king press ure acc urately i n compress ors provided with
pressure regulators. Release the knob of the pressure regulator by
pulling it outwards, adjus t the pr essure to the desired value by
turning the knob cloc kwis e to increas e it and anti-clockwise to
decreas e it. Once the ideal pr essure has been reac hed, bloc k the
knob by pus hing it downwards (fig. 11). In the case of pressure
regulators supplied without a gauge, the calibrati on pressure may
be s een on the graduated scale situated on the c asing of the actual
regulator. In the cas e of pr essure r egulators s upplied with a gauge,
the calibr ation pressure may be seen on the actual gauge.
WARNING: Some press ure regulators do not have "pus h to l oc k",
therefore si mpl y turn the knob to adjust the press ure.
MAINTENANCE
Befor e ser vicing the compr essor make sure that:
- the mai n line ON/OFF s witch is on «0».
- the pressure switc h or the line s witc h is on «0».
- there is no pr essure in the air tank ( onl y for model with
The c ompressor generates c ondens ate that accumulates in the
tank. The condensate must be drained from the tank at least once
a week by opening the discharge tap (fig. 12) underneath the tank
(only for model with tank). Be c areful if there is any compr essed
air withi n the c ylinder as the water c ould burst out with some force.
Recommended pressur e 1 ÷ 2 bar

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE

In units F with 2 poles , replace the whole c onnec ting rod unit every
700 hours of operati on.
In units F and FB with 4 poles , repl ace the whole c onnecting rod
unit ever y 1500 hours of operati on. In units GMS and VS, replace
the slidi ng bloc ks and the compressi on ring every 1500 hours of
operation.
LUBRICATING THE BEARINGS
All the bearings are lubricated with grease for life with the
exc eption of the roller c asing fitted on the connecting rod side of
the GMS and VS units whic h is to be was hed with sol vent and re-
lubricated with "Kluber Barrierta L 55/2" greas e every 1500 hours
of operation (white greas e). The greas e must completel y fill the
spaces between the rollers; exc ess lubricant will be expelled during
the i nitial hours of operation.
CLEANING THE FILTER (F-FB-ECU-GMS-VS Series-AIRCLIK-F
1)
It is advisabl e to dis mantle the suc tion filter ever y 50 hours of use
and to clean the fi ltering el ement by blowing it with compr essed
air, or replac e it if the el ement pointed out by the arrow is clogged.
HOW TO PROCEED W HEN TRIVIAL ANOMALIES
ARE ENCOUNTERED Loss of air from the valve underneath

The compressor f ails to start
If the compress or has difficulty in s tarting, make sure that: -the
mains voltage c orresponds to that indicated on the data nameplate
(fi g. 8)
- electrical extension cables with uns uitable cross-secti on or
length ar e not used.
- the room in which the compress or is running is not too cold
(below 0°C)
- the electric line is efficient (plug connected correctl y, magneto
thermal s witch, fus es not blown)
The compressor f ails to stop (only with tan k)
if the compr essor fails to stop when the maxi mum pressure is
reached, the tank safety val ve will trip. Contact the nearest
authorised ser vice c entre for the repairs.
- Do not unscrew any connec tions with the tank when under
pressure for any reason whatsoever. Al ways make s ure that
the tank is depressurised beforehand.
tank). - Do not drill, weld or intentionall y deform the compressed air
tank.
- Do not carry out any operati ons on the compress or before it
has been unpl ugged from the power s oc ket.
- The room temperature for its c orrect efficienc y is: 0°C +25°C
(MAX 45°C).
- Do not direct j ets of water or flammabl e liquids over the
compressor.
- Do not plac e fl ammable objec ts near the c ompress or.
- When stopped temporarily during its use, tur n the pressure
switch or the ON/OFF s witc h to position «0» (OFF) (turned-
off).
- Never direct the jet of air towards peopl e or ani mals (fig. 24).
- Do not transport the compr essor when the tank is pr essurised.
- Be aware that s ome c omponents of the c ompressor s uch as
the head and delivery hos es may r each high temperatures,
therefore do not touch the to avoid getti ng burned (fig. 10).
- Transport the compress or by lifting or pulling it with the
appropriate grips or handl es (fig. 5 - 6).
- Children and animals must be kept away from the area in
which the mac hine is running. If the compress or is used for
painti ng: a) Do not work in closed areas or near free flames b)
Make sure that the area in whic h you are wor king has a good
change of air c) Protect nos e and mouth usi ng an appropriate
mas k (fig. 18).
- Do not us e the c ompressor if the elec tric cable or the plug is
damaged.
- Contac t the neares t authorised servic e centr e for the
replacement with an original component.
- If it is plac ed on a shelf or a surfac e that is rais ed off the
ground, it must be sec ured appropriatel y to pr event it fr om
tipping off when runni ng.
- Do not insert objects or your hands inside the safety grating to
avoid physical damage and also damage to the compress or
(fig. 19).
- Do not use the compress or to threaten people or ani mals to
avoid s erious i njuries.
- Always unplug the compressor from the power soc ket when
you have finished using it.
