Installation Piping (1) When you determine the diameter of the pressure pipe, please, take into consideration a possible loss of pressure. (2) Connect the exit of the compressor with the compressed air line by using a rubber hose and a flexible tube. A direct connection to the rigid pipe can transfer the vibrations of the compressor to the compressed air piping.
Installation Wiring ● Precautions during wiring WARNING Disconnect the plug of the main power supply Make sure you have disconnected the plug of the main power supply before you carry out any maintenance or wiring jobs. If you fail to do so, there is a risk of heavy electrical shocks and extremely serious injuries.

Maintenance Precautions during maintenance work WARNINGS maintenance work Prescribed Make sure to carry out prescribed maintenance jobs. If this is not the case, it can lead to failures and a decrease in performance. Besides that there is a risk of injury. Switches and power supply Make sure to turn off the switch and to remove the power cord while performing maintenance work.
Maintenance The following maintenance intervals are based on an ambient temperature of approximately 30 °C. If the ambient temperature is higher, we recommend to shorten the maintenance intervals by 30 % for each increase of 5 °C. ◆ The standard maintenance period does not match our warranty period.
