Starting the compressor
Before initially starting the compressor or following extended inoperative periods, start the machine
intermittently by pressing the START(I)-STOP(O) buttons on and off for 3 or 4 seconds. After this it
is advisable to run the compressor for a few minutes with the air outlet tap open.
Then gradually shut-off the air tap and load to maximum pressure, checking if the inputs on each
phase of the power supply are within the limits and also if the pressure switch trips.
At this stage, when the max pressure value is arrived, the pressur switch start the idle running for 2
minutes; after this time, if there's not air consumption, the compressor stop in stand-by condition.
Discharge the air from the tank until the starting pressure is reached (2 bar difference compared to
maximum pressure ). Shut-off the air outlet tap and wait for the pressure switch to trip, which will
shut-on the in-take valve and close the internal discharge.

Note!
DO NOT START THE COMPRESSOR WITH THE GUARDS OPEN TO AVOID
INJURY DUE TO MOVING COMPONENTS OR ELECTRICALLY POWERED
EQUIPMENT.
Following an electrical shortage the compressor will start only if the START
(I) button is pressed.
Ventilation must occur as illustrated below.
It is of crucial importance that the compressor works with all the panels
firmly closed.
The failed observance of these and the following standards may lead to
accidents that could cause personal injury and serious damages to the
compressor or its equipment.
