6. Fault handling
6.1 Faults and corrective actions
Problem.
The compressor starts up with
lag. There is a slow build up in
the electric motor's speed.
There's a whistling during the
compressor's operation.
The compressor won't start.
The compressor is overheating.
Excessive starting and stopping
Moisture in discharge air.
7. Storage and disposal
7.1 Storage conditions
The compressor should be kept at a temperature between -20° and +35°С with max. 85%

COMPRAG RECOM RCI series
Possible faults.
The belt is overtightened.
The oil is thick.
The belt is slipping.
The ambient air temperature in
the facility does not meet the
required temperature (below +5
°C or above +40 °C).
There's insufficient ventilation
in the facility where the com-
pressor is installed.
The oil level is too low.
Cylinder or piston scratched,
worn, or scored.
Compressor check valve leaky,
broken, carbonized or loose.
Fittings not tight enough or
leaking.
Condensation in air tank
caused by
high level of atmospheric
humidity
Corrective action.
Tighten the belt with the rel-
evant load.
Replace the oil.
Tighten the belt with the appro-
priate tensile force
Ensure the necessary ambient
air temperature where the com-
pressor is installed.
Increase the air circulation in-
side the facility.
Top up oil.
Repair or replace as required.
Clean or replace as required.
Inspect valves.
Tighten fittings where air can-
not be heard escaping. Check
joints. Do not overtighten.
Drain air tank more often in
humid weather and use an air
line filter.
