In order to use the compressor in complete safety read the safety standards given in section 1.3. before reading this
section.
3.1 t
ransporting and Handling tHe packed macHine
The packed compressor must be transported by qualified personnel using a for-
klift truck.
Before moving the machine ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the forklift
truck is sufficient to take the weight to be lifted.
Position the forks exclusively as illustrated below. Once the forks have been po-
sitioned in the points indicated, lift slowly without jerking.
NEVER STAND NEAR THE AREA WHERE THE COMPRESSOR IS BEING HAN-
DLED AND NEVER STAND ON THE CRATE WHILE IT IS BEING MOVED.
3.2 p
acking and unpacking
To avoid damages and to protect the compressor during transport it is usually
placed on a wooden pallet, to which it is secured by screws and covered with car-
dboard.
All the shipping and handling information and symbols are printed on the com-
pressor packing. Upon consignment remove the top part of the packing and check
if any damages have been encountered during transport. If any damages are found,
caused during transport, immediately make a written claim, backed up with photos
of the damaged parts if possible and forward everything to your insurance company,
with copy to the Manufacturer and transporter.
Using a forklift truck take the compressor as near as possible to the place where it is to be installed then carefully remove the pro-
tective packing without damaging it, following the instructions below:
• Remove the packing 1, by sliding it away upwards.
• Unscrew screws 2 that block the feet that secure the compressor to the pallet.
The compressor can be left on the packing pallet to make it easier to move.
Carefully ensure that the contents correspond with all written in the consignment documents.
Dispose of the packing in compliance with current standards in force in the country of installation.
Note! The machine must be unpacked by qualified personnel using appropriate tools and equipment.

For the whole time that the compressor is not used before unpacking it, store it in a dry place at a temperature between +5°C and +
45°C and sheltered away from weather.
For the whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking it, while waiting to start it up or due to production stoppages,
place sheets over it to protect it from dust, which may settle on the components.
The oil is to be replaced and the operational efficiency of the compressor is to be checked if it is not used for long periods.
