3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety precautions
The operator must apply all related safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.
Ambient conditions
Consult section 7 for the limitations with regard to the ambient conditions and altitude operation.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks
protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after inserting beams in
the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The
chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the
compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the compressor will be lifted
perpendicularly. Lift smoothly and avoid twisting.
3.1 Initial start-up
1. Read the User manual for Elektronikon regulator to familiarize yourself with all regulator
functions.
2. Consult section 2 for the electric cable size, installation proposals and dimension drawings.
3. A sticker dealing in short with the operation instructions is delivered with the literature set.
Affix the sticker next to the control panel.
4. A number of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) plates may be provided inside the bodywork and
electric cabinet to protect the compressor against corrosion. Remove the plates.
5. A silica gel bag is installed in the pipe (3-see figure below) between the intercooler
condensate trap and the high-pressure compressor element (a label is stuck on the pipe).
Unscrew the bolts of flange (1), remove coupling (5) and take out the bag. Reposition the pipe
using a new O-ring, tighten the flange and reinstall the pipe coupling.
