1. SAFETY All X AIR products are designed and manufactured with aim of user’s safety, but the best insurance against an accident is to be cautious. Every operator, regardless of his experience, should read this manual and relating documentation before operating the compressor or any connected equipment. The owner has the obligation to forward these instructions to all operators and train them to use equipment safely. Be sure to observe the following instructions for safe use. 1.
1.3 OPERATING CONDITIONS - Park or locate the X AIR compressor on level and solid ground and closed area with sufficient load-bearing capacity. Do not place it on gradients exceeding 27% (15°). - Locate the rear-end of the X AIR compressor upwind so that dust from the construction site does not come in through admission grids and that wind blows exhaust gases and the heated air away.
1.6 KEEP THE X AIR COMPRESSOR AND ITS ENVIRONMENT CLEAN - Be sure to completely stop the compressor before cleaning. Stop the compressor at idle by closing the valves. - Keep the compressor clean and free of any accumulation of dirt, grease and trash to avoid the risk of fire. - Store flammable liquids in suitable containers and cabinets, away from sources of sparks and heat. - Detect and repair leaks immediately. 1.
- Keep flames, sparks and other ignition sources away, especially during recharging the battery and when you refuel. Do not light a match near the battery and the fuel tank. - Do NOT check the battery charge by placing a metal object between the terminals. Use a voltmeter or a hydrometer. - Do NOT charge a frozen battery. There is risk of explosion. If the battery is frozen, heat it up to 16° C (61° F) at least.
1.13 LIFTING Before lifting the compressor make sure that: - There are no cracks in the welding points of the slings, of the attachment points or other elements used for lifting, - There are no deformations or corrosion on the elements used for lifting. - Screws and bolts are tightened. - The lifting hook is equipped with a functional safety device, and that it is fully engaged and latched. - That the lifting capacity of a whole lifting structure exceeds the weight of the equipment to lift.

3.1 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION The package includes a diesel KUBOTA 3 cylinders engine (type D1105), an air-end, a capacity control system, a compressor cooling and a battery. Please refer to engine and battery usage manual to get more information. The engine cooling system is comprised of a water radiator and an oil radiator for the air-end. The fan which is common to both radiators is used to exhaust air and to maintain both engine and air-end to the appropriate running temperature.
• The fan (16) exhausts the heat coming from the compression of the air with the oil, which flows through the cooler (4) and cooled tanks to the air issued from the fan (16) • In operation, fluid circulates from the separator (6) to the cooler (4). This circulation is caused by the pressure difference between the separator (6) (high pressure) and the low pressure zone of the air-end (7) compressor unit.
3 possibilities can be presented (with the valve (7) on RUN position): A. Higher consumption than the compressor delivery. The pressure inside the separator (1) never reach the operating pressure designed by the pressure controller (2). The inlet valve (3) is fully opened and the engine runs at maximum speed. The compressor is under dimensioned compared to the application where the air is directly directed outside to clean up the hoses. B. Less consumption than the compressor delivery.
4. USE In case of non-usage higher than 6 months, ask X AIR representative to make the « long term stop », in order to avoid any trouble when running again. - DAILY CONTROL In order to avoid any trouble on the compressor usage, it is important to check the compressor running conditions. Before starting : 1. Ensure than parts which have been previously damaged, have been changed. 2.
4.3 STARTING Starting should not be attempted until all the operations detailed in the previous section have been accomplished. IMPORTANT During cold days, always follow the instructions given in the engine manual. Steps: • • • • • • Close the air outlet valves. Turn the starting valve on START-STOP position. Turn on the COM selector switch: the battery charge lamp lights up. Securities devices are stopped during the starting process. Preheating. Hold down until PRE lamp goes out.
5. MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT The operations of maintenance indicated in this manual worker are given for normal conditions of use.. In difficult conditions, temperatures extremes, high hygrometry, polluting atmosphere, high height, etc. some operations must be more made frequently and particular precautions must be taken. Consult on this matter the engine manual and the local X AIR dealer. Respect the general regulations of safety and accident prevention (see Ch. 1).
5.
IMPORTANT -If the cap of the cooler has to be removed, follow the instructions mentioned here below and then tighten it securely. -If there is a water leak, consult your local dealer. -Check that sludgy water or sea water doesn’t get in the radiator. -Do not refill the safety tank with refrigerant above the "FULL" mark level. -Take care to close the cap firmly. If the cap is loose or improperly tightened water can flow out and the motor may overheat. 5.3.1 Safety measures related to refrigerant fluid.
The case when the refrigerant temperature is close to or exceeds the boiling point is called "OVERHEATING". When trying to operate the machine, perform the following checks to observe that all parts are working properly. If there is something unusual, inspect it by referring to the corresponding description in the "MAINTENANCE" and " PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE” chapters.
IMPORTANT: - Make sure the lid (3) is properly closed. If the filter envelope is not sealed, dust and dirt may be sucked in, wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring earlier, and thereby resulting in poor power output. - Do not overservice the air cleaner element. Overservicing may cause dirt to enter the engine causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a guide on when to service.
5.5 COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER - Unscrew the disposable cartridge. - Refit a new cartridge after slightly greasing the seal. 5.6 COMPRESSOR BELTS - Adjustment of the belt tension of the compressor To avoid injury: - Be sure to stop the engine and remove the ignition key before checking the belt tension compressor. Correct tension compressor belt flexion of 4mm when applying a pressure of 4 Kg onto the middle of the belt.
- If the belt is loose or damaged, it could result an overheating or insufficient load. In this case, correcting or replacing. 5.7 OIL SEPARATOR To avoid injury: - Make sure to stop the engine before changing the oil separator cartridge. - Let the engine cool down sufficiently, oil can be hot and burn you. - Check that the air system is not under pressure 1. Replace the oil separator cartridge and flush. 2. Untighten 8 screws of the separator lid. 3.
- It must be maintained in this position by four axes (1) which are positioned in the four corners of the compressor (2). - These axes (1) pass through holes in the compressor (2) and the trailer (4) and are locked in this position by pins Beta (3). CIRCULATION IS FORBIDDEN IF THE ORIGINAL PINS ARE NOT IN PLACE 5.9 COMPRESSOR UNDERCARRIAGE MAINTENANCE operations: -Regularly clean all the components with water. -During shutdown or storage of galvanized parts, ensure sufficient ventilation.
There are 3 safety devices: - Engine oil pressure drop: pressure switch on the engine. - Abnormal engine refrigerant temperature rise: temperature switch on the engine. - Abnormal oil/air temperature rise at the aired discharge: temperature switch on the aired. They function by closing their contacts at earth which energize the safety relay. The latter opens its contact and cuts off the electro-stop which in turn cuts the engine injection (even with a passing fault). The engine stops.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 1. Compressor will not start. 1. No fuel 2. Clogged fuel filter 3. Low battery voltage Check fuel level and add fuel if necessary.
