Important!! The compressor unit is equipped with additional oil cooler therefore, after an oil change, the oil level may vary from the oil quantity specified in the operating instructions. Important!! The function of the non-return valve installed in the compressor unit is to prevent the compressor, after having been switched off, from running in reverse at high speed for a long time as a result of residual pressure that exists in the discharge lines of the pneumatic system.
Electrical connection Phase Neut r al Important !! Any work on the compressor such as operation and maintenance shall only be carried out by authorised, skilled and qualified personnel, who are familiar with the applicable safety regulations.
Using foreign spare parts and accessories may entail the loss of any liability for the consequences arising therefrom. 2.6 Modifications installation Without approval from RTI, it is not permitted to make any alterations to the installation.
Commissioning Set-up Mount the compressor unit in horizontal position, if possible. If the unit is not mounted horizontally, please observe the specified limit values. Important!! Maximum permissible angles of tilt during operation: forward and backward: 10° to the right and left: 10° Operating elements and monitoring gauges ...
Monitoring compressor operation Oil pressure gauge The oil pressure is indicated on the oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure must not fall below 0.3 bar. Important!! If the oil pressure does not build up within a short period of time, switch of the motor / compressor.
Maintenance/Service Maintenance intervals Important!! In case of compressor units with V-belt drive, re-tension the V-belts and the quick-lock taper bushes of the V-belt pulleys and the fastening screws of the discharge silencer after the first two hours of operation. INSPECTION DURING OPERATION: The oil pressure must not drop below the minimum value of 0.3 bar, (normally 1-3 bar).

MONTHLY INSPECTION: ONLY CARRY OUT WHEN INSTALLATION IS COOL AND AT A STANDSTILL WITH THE POWER CORD DISCONNECTED OR THE MAIN SWITCH OFF This check may only be carried out by skilled mechanics. Observe the safety very carefully, the enclosure must be removed and rotating parts will be accessible. Check the wear of the V-belts, replace if necessary.
Important!! Prior to conducting any work on the compressor unit with motor, make sure that the main switch is set to position “0“ and that the main power cable is disconnected and that the power is off. Prior to opening the sound cover, remove the safety locks and open the sound cover only when the compressor is at standstill.
