 The compressor continues to operate automatically with this work cycle until the position
of the switch of the pressure switch (or of the selector of the electric panel) figures 5a-5b-
5c-5d) is modified. To use the compressor again, wait at least 10 seconds after this has
been switched off before restarting.
 In the versions with electric panel, the pressure switch must always be aligned with the I
(ON) position.
 In tandem versions, the control unit provided permits use of only one of the two
compressor groups (if necessary alternatively) or of both at the same time according to
requirements. In this second case, start-up will be differentiated slightly to avoid
excessively high current take-off at start-up (timed starting).
 Only the wheel-mounted compressors are fitted with a pressure reducer (in the versions
with fixed feet, it is usually installed on the use line). Air pressure can be regulated in order
to optimize use of air-powered tools operating on the knob with the valve open (pulling it
up and turning it in a clockwise direction to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
reduce this) (fig. 7). Once you have set the value required, push the knob down to lock it.
 The value set can be checked on the gauge (for versions equipped with this, fig. 8).
 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.
 When you have finished working, stop the machine, pull out the plug and empty the
reservoir.

6 MAINTENANCE
 The service life of the machine depends on maintenance quality.
 PRIOR TO ANY OPERATION SET THE PRESSURE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION,
PULL OUT THE PLUG AND COMPLETELY DRAIN THE RESERVOIR.
 Check that all screws (in particular those of the head of the unit) are tightly drawn up (fig.
9). The check must be carried out prior to the first compressor starting.

 Clean the suction filter according to the type of environment and in any case at least every
100 hours. If necessary, replace the filter (a clogged filter impairs efficiency while an
inefficient filter causes harsher wear on the compressor (figures 10a - 10b).
