■Control methods
The compressor stand alone operation (Load setting: Auto)

▪Startup
The compressor performs automatic safety check for 3 seconds after the power is turned ON and the
monitor will display the initial screen.

Then, press ON to start the compressor.

▪Operation control
With a certain time of unload operation after starting-up, the solenoid valve will be energized so that
the compressor starts loading and the pressure in the air receiver starts increasing. When the pressure in
the air receiver exceeds the cut-out pressure (unload pressure value), the solenoid valve will be de-
energized so that the compressor starts unload operation. If the pressure decreased to the cut-in pressure
(load pressure value) in the specified time, within the unload operation time , the solenoid valve will
be re-energized and the compressor restart loading (the pressure in the air receiver will increase).

If the pressure in the air receiver does not decrease to the cut-in pressure within the unload operation
time, the controller will stop the motor automatically because the unload operation time is finished.
When the pressure decreases to the cut-in pressure, the motor will start operation and repeat the same
procedure as above.

▪Manual load/unload at the auto operation setting

Press M to start load operation during unload operation.

When the pressure exceeds the set unload pressure value, the solenoid valve will be open and the
compressor will restart unload operation. When the pressure becomes lower than the set unload
pressure value, the solenoid valve will be energized and the compressor will start loading again. If the
pressure reaches the set unload pressure value the compressor will start unloading again.

Press M to start unload operation during load operation.

When the pressure exceeds the set load pressure, the solenoid valve will be de-energized, and if the
pressure becomes lower than the set load pressure value, the compressor will restart load operation.
When the pressure is lower than the set load pressure, the compressor does not switch to unload
operation.

▪Stop the operation

By pressing OFF , the main motor and the fan motor will stop after a certain time.

▪Restart control
A certain delay time is required to restart the motor after stopping the compressor by the STOP button,
automatic stop after finishing the unload operation time or motor stop by shutdown.
The monitor will display the countdown of remaining delay time before the motor restarts, and the
motor will restart when the remaining delay time turns “0”.

-35-

 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

■Periodic maintenance
Be sure to service the compressor periodically and replace the parts as instructed in this manual.
Observe the maintenance schedule as prescribed in this manual.

Be sure to stop the compressor and to disconnect the main power

before maintenance.

Before maintenance work, make sure that the compressor is completely

stopped and the internal pressure of the compressor is released to as low as
atmospheric pressure.

Precautions

・Depressurize the internal air of the compressor to atmospheric pressure and make sure that the
compressor does not start suddenly.

・Disconnect all the power.

・Display Caution/Safety signs around the working area.

When servicing the inside of the compressor:

・Pay attention to heated parts and/or the parts which do not stop completely.
・Be careful of sharp-edged parts.
・Watch your step.
・Pay careful attention to potential problems which create any risk.

When restarting operation after servicing

・Put all the covers back and install the protective devices again.
・Readjust the equipment and devices.
・For disposal of the waste, consult and comply the local regulations or law.

Observe the regulations of our company for servicing the compressor.

We assume no responsibility whatsoever for any event resulting from the use
and performance not authorized by us.

 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

■Maintenance of Coolers

▪ Air-cooled models: Check for dust and dirt on the surface and clean it monthly and keep a
maintenance record.
How to clean: Blow the air to the cooler.
For persistent dirt, after spray type cleaning or dipping type cleaning with
detergent, blow the air to the inside.
For recommended detergent and further directions, contact the local
distributor/master dealer or representative office.

▪Water-cooled models: As both of the oil cooler and the after cooler are shell and tube type,
the discharge temperature may increase due to tar adhesion caused by the
lubricating oil and/or scale adhesion caused by the cooling water. Be sure to clean
the coolers periodically to avoid trouble.
How to clean: Clean the oil piping and the water piping using detergent and pump.
As for recommended detergent and/or washing method details, contact the local
distributor/master dealer or representative office.
For the cooler with persistent dirt, ask the local distributor/master dealer or
representative office for cleaning.

Be careful to use of detergent according to the manufacturer’s direction.

Especially for acid detergent, pay attention to avoid contact with skin
and adhesion on clothes.

As to detergent which requires neutralizing, neutralize the detergent and

wash the cooler properly with water after cleaning. Improper hand washing
results in a corrosion. After neutralizing the detergent, disassemble the pump
and other used parts to wash all the parts with water. Apply grease to all the
parts that have been washed.

In a chilly environment, close the cooling water stop valve of the cooler after
stopping operation and drain the cooling water from the coolers completely to
prevent a frost damage of the cooler.

For a long-time operation stoppage of the water-cooled type compressor,

remove the drain plug of the cooler and store it in the dedicated bag for the
time of re-starting operation.

pressure of the compressor to atmospheric pressure.
• Loosen the plug of the oil filling port by a wrench to put the lubricating oil to the bottom of the
opening of the oil filling port, and then retighten the plug.

Be careful of heated discharge oil.

• Before discharging the oil, operate the compressor for 30 minutes to raise the oil temperature around
70 degree C which makes lubrication smoother.
• Stop operation and release the inner pressure to as low as atmospheric pressure.
• Remove the plug of the oil discharge port to discharge the oil.
• Remove the plug of the oil discharge port of the cooler and place a pan to receive the discharged oil.
• When supplying new oil, close the oil discharge port and tighten all the oil discharge plugs and bolts.
• For disposal of used oil, follow local regulations and codes.

Use our dedicated lubricating oil ONLY.

DO NOT use/mix other kind of oil.

Under severe operating condition, replace the lubricating oil earlier

than usual.

Before lubricating oil replacement, make sure that the compressor is

stopped completely and the internal pressure is released to atmospheric
pressure.
