Cleaning And Maintenance; Disposal And Recycling - FLAIR 20/24 Betriebsanleitung

● All compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer. Operating on the knob
with the tap open (pulling it up and turning it in a clockwise direction to
increase the pressure and in a counterclockwise direction to reduce this
fig. 9a), air pressure can be regulated so as to optimize use of pneumatic
tools. After setting the value required, push the knob to fasten this (fig. 9b).
On some versions, the ring-nut underneath must be tightened to fasten the
knob (figures 9c-9d).
● The value set can be checked on the gauge.
● Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working
pressure of the pneumatic tool to be used are compatible with the
pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air
supplied by the compressor.
● Always pull out the plug and drain the receiver once you have completed
your work (figures 10-11).

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

● BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATION, ALWAYS PULL OUT THE
PLUG AND DRAIN THE RECEIVER COMPLETELY (figures 10-11).
● Check that all screws (in particular those of the head of the unit) are tightly
drawn up (torque 10 Nm = 1.02 Kgm).
The control must be performed before the first start-up of the compressor
and subsequently before the first intensive use in order to restore the correct
closing torque value modified as a result of heat expansion.
● After loosening any safety screws, clean the intake filter according to the type
of working environment and at least every 100 hours (figures 12a-12b). If
necessary, replace the filter element (clogging of the filter reduces compressor
performance and an inefficient filter causes increased wear).
● For lubricated models, replace the oil after the first 100 hours of operation
and every 300 hours subsequently (figures 13a-13b-13c). Remember to
check the oil level at regular intervals.
Use SAE 40. (For cold climates, SAE 20 is recommended). Never mix
different grade oils. If the oil changes color (whitish = presence of water;
dark = overheated), it is good practice to replace the oil immediately.
● Periodically (or after working with the compressor for more than an hour),
drain the condensate that forms inside the receiver (fig. 11) due to the
humidity in the air. This protects the receiver from corrosion and does not
restrict its capacity.
● Spent oil (lubricated models) and condensate MUST BE DISPOSED OF in
accordance with environmental protection regulations and current legislation.
7. POSSIBLE FAULTS AND RELATED PERMITTED REMEDIES
Fault
Leakage of air from the valve of the pressure
switch with the compressor off.
Reduction of performance. Frequent start-up.
Low pressure values.
The compressor stops and restarts
automatically after a few minutes.
In the V, 3 HP versions, it is does not start.
After a few attempts to restart, the compressor
stops.
The compressor does not stop and the safety
valve is tripped.
Any other type of operation must be carried out by authorized Service Centers, requesting original parts. Tampering with the machine may impair
its safety and in any case make the warranty null and void.
Warranty and repair.
In the event of defective goods or requirements for spare parts, kindly contact the sales point where you made your purchase.
Cleaning of intake filter and/or
substitution of filtering element
Change of oil
(lubricated models only)
Tightening of head tension
rods
Draining tank condensate
Safety valve
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the
pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its
seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when
required. Pull the ring with sufficient force until you can hear the compressed
air being released. Then release the ring again.
5. STORAGE
Warning!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all
connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure
that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any
unauthorized person.
Warning!
Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not accessible to
unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!

6. DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

The unit and its accessories are made of various types of material, such as
metal and plastic. Defective components must be disposed of as special
waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.
The compressor must be disposed in conformity with the methods
provided for by local regulations.
Cause
Check valve that, due to wear or dirt on the
seal, does not perform its function correctly.
Excessive performance request, check for any
leaks from the couplings and/or pipes. Intake
filter may be clogged.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheating of the motor.
Tripping of the thermal cutout due to
overheating of the motor (removal of the
plug with the compressor running, low power
voltage).
Irregular functioning of the compressor or
breakage of the pressure switch.

●
At start-up and after the first hour of work
Periodically and at the end of work
Remedy
Unscrew the hexagonal head of the check
valve, clean the valve seat and the special
rubber disk (replace if worn). Reassemble and
tighten carefully (figures 14a-14b).
Replace the seals of the fitting, clean or replace
the filter.
Clean the air ducts in the conveyor. Ventilate
the work area. Reset the thermal cutout. On
lubricated and V type models, check oil level
and quality. On V models, have the voltage
checked.
Activate the on/off switch. Ventilate the work
area. Wait a few minutes. The compressor will
restart independently. On V, 3 HP models, reset
the thermal cutout. Remove any power cable
extensions.
Remove the plug and contact the Service
Center.
