to the instructions represented in fig. 2. Place the
compressor on a flat surface or at a maximum slope
of10°(fig.3),inawellventilatedarea,protected
against atmospheric factors and not in explosive
surroundings.Ifthesurfaceareaisslopingand
smooth,makesurethatthecompressorwillnot
movewheninoperation.Ifthesurfaceareaisa
boardorashelfofabookcase,justmakesurethat
they cannot fall down by securing them properly.
Forproperventilationandeffectivecooling,itis
important that the compressor is positioned at least
100 cm from the wall (fig. 4).
Make sure that the compressor is
transported in the right way, do not turn it
upside down and don’t lift it with hooks
or ropes (fig. 5-6).
Filling the compressor with oil.
Your compressor is supplied with oil which is
already included in the carter.
Beforeuse,removethetransportcaponthecarter
(12),andreplaceitbytheregularoilcap(fig7).
Beforeuse,ensurethatoillevelissufficient.
This can be checked by checking the oil
inspectionglass(13).Whencompressorisplaced
horizontally,theoillevelshallreachtheredmark.
Installing the air filters.
Remove the transport lids and replace them with
the supplied air filters before using the compressor.
Starting up
• Checkwhetherthemainsvoltagecorresponds
to that indicated on the electrical specification
plate(fig.10),thepermittedtolerancerange
should be within 5%.
• Presstheswitch(3)situatedontheupperpart
intothe“0”positionaccordingtothepressure
regulator type fitted on the device (fig. 11).
• Puttheplugintheplugsocket(fig.9)andstart
the compressor up by putting the switch(3)
ofthepressureregulatorinthe“I”position.
The operation of the compressor is fully
automatic. The pressure regulator will stop
the compressor when the maximum value has
been reached and start it up when the pressure
drops below the minimum value. Normally
the difference in pressure is approx. 2 Bar/29
psi between the maximum and the minimum
value.Forinstance-Thecompressorwillstop
when it reaches 8 Bar (116 psi) (this is the
maximum operating pressure) and will start
up automatically when the pressure within the
tank has dropped to 6 Bar (87 psi).
The head/cylinder/transmission pipe
assembly may reach high temperatures,
so take care when working close to these
parts and do not touch them to avoid
burns (fig. 12 - 13).
Adjusting the operating pressure

compressors supplied with a pressure reduction
valve it is necessary to set the operating pressure
properly.
Itispossibletosettheoperatingpressureby
using the turning knob(5) on the reduction valve.
• Byturningclockwise,thepressurewillbe
increased.
• Byturninganti-clockwise,thepressurewillbe
reduced.
The compressor has two pressure gauges and
onepointtoconnectanairhose:
• Pressuregauge(7):Thepressureofthisoutlet
can be regulated with help of the reduction
valve (5).
• Pressuregauge(8):tankpressure
Hintsforaccurateadjustmentofthepressure
regulation:
• Turntheturningknob(5)anti-clockwisetill
pressure is fully released
• Connecttheairtoolyouwanttousetothe
quick coupler (6)
• Activatetheairtoolshortly,sothepressure
gauge (7) will show the right pressure level
• Turntheturningknob(5)clockwise,tillthe
