In order to use the compressor in complete safety read the safety standards before reading this section.
◊ 3.1 Condizioni ambientali consentite
Position the machine as established when the order was placed. Failing this the Manufacturer is not liable for any in-
conveniences that may possibly arise. Unless pointed out otherwise when placing the order, the compressor must work
regularly in the surrounding conditions indicated below.

ROOM TEMPERATURE

For a good work, the room temperature must not be lower than 5°C or higher than 35°C.
If the compressor works at a room temperature lower than the minimum value, the condensate could be separated
within the circuit and therefore the water would mix with the oil, thus deteriorating the quality of the latter, failing to gua-
rantee the even formation of the lubricating film between the moving parts with the possibility of seizure.
If the compressor works at a room temperature higher than maximum value, the compressor would take in air that is
too hot, which would prevent the heat exchanger from adequately cooling the oil in the circuit, raising the working tem-
perature of the machine, thus causing the thermal safety device to trip, which stops the compressor due to an excessive
temperature of the air/oil mixture at the screw outlet.
LIGHTING
The machine has been designed in compliance with legal prescriptions and in the attempt to minimise shadow zones
to facilitate the operator's job.
The lighting system of the factory is to be considered as crucial for the operator's safety.
The compressor's placement must not have shadow zones, dazzling lights or stroboscopic effects due to the lighting.
ATMOSPHERE WITH RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE
The standard compressor is not pre-arranged or designed to work in rooms subject to the risk of explosion or fire. The
performance of the compressor may decrease at the maximum permitted ambient temperature, with relative humidity
higher than 80% and at an altitude of more than 1,000 mt.
◊ 3.2 Space required for maintenance
The machine must be installed in a large room that is well-aired, dust-free and sheltered away from rain and frost. The
machine takes in a large amount of air that is required to ventilate it internally. A dusty atmosphere would in time cause
damages and inefficient performance.
Part of the dust once inside is taken in by the air filter causing it to clog rapidly and another part of dust will settle on the
components and will be blown against the cooling radiator, consequently compromising the efficiency of the heat exchan-
ger. It is therefore obvious that the cleanliness of the area in which the compressor is installed is crucial for the correct
efficiency of the machine, avoiding excessive running and maintenance costs. To facilitate maintenance jobs and to cre-
ate a favourable circulation of air, the compressor must have a sufficient free space all around it (see following pictures).
3.2.1 Installing on the ground
Place the compressor on a flat surface (max inclination: 10 °),
in a ventilated place, protected from weather and in not explosive
environments.
The fuel tank side and inspection / maintenance vents must
have placed in accessible side. It is the responsibility of the ope-
rator to control and deny access to the area of persons and / or
animals, keep it free from objects that may obstruct airflow and
flammable objects.
Connect the screw placed on the chassis with the sur-
rounding soil using apropriate "ground picket" via cable of
minimum section 10 mm ². (see chap. 4.4.1)
3.2.2 Installing on a mobile workshops
NOTE: Before proceeding with the installation in the vehicle, follow the rules in force concerning workplace safety and
vehicle manufacturer indications.
Check the total of vehicle mass is equal to or more than the compressor weight and the tools fitted. The fuel tank side
and inspection / maintenance vents must have placed in accessible side. It is the responsibility of the operator to control
and deny access to the work area to people and / or animals, keep it free from objects that may obstruct airflow and
flammable objects.
Connect the screw placed on the chassis with the surrounding soil using apropriate "ground picket" via cable
of minimum section 10 mm ². (see chap. 4.4.1)
