General precautions
1. The operator must employ safe working practices and observe all related work safety requirements and
regulations.
2. If any of the following statements does not comply with the applicable legislation, the stricter of the two
shall apply.
3. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair work must only be performed by authorized, trained,
specialized personnel.
4. The compressor is not considered capable of producing air of breathing quality. For air of breathing quality,
the compressed air must be adequately purified according to the applicable legislation and standards.
5. Before any maintenance, repair work, adjustment or any other non-routine checks, stop the compressor,
press the emergency stop button, switch off the voltage and depressurize the compressor. In addition, the
power isolating switch must be opened and locked.
On units powered by a frequency converter, wait six minutes before starting any electrical repair.
If the machine is equipped with an automatic restart after voltage failure function and if this
function is active, be aware that the machine will restart automatically when the power is
restored if it was running when the power was interrupted!
6. Never play with compressed air. Do not apply the air to your skin or direct an air stream at people. Never
use the air to clean dirt from your clothes. When using the air to clean equipment, do so with extreme
caution and wear eye protection.
7. The owner is responsible for maintaining the unit in safe operating condition. Parts and accessories shall
be replaced if unsuitable for safe operation.
8. It is not allowed to walk or stand on the unit or on its components.

1.3 Safety precautions during installation

All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.
Precautions during installation

1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety
regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to
dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within
safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken;
consult your supplier.
3. Place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction
duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken to minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or
worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working
pressure.
6. The aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapours and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead
to internal fire or explosion.
7. Arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be sucked in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under

manufacturer.
Precautions during operation

1. Never touch any piping or components of the compressor during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. When blowing through a hose or
air line, ensure that the open end is held securely. A free end will whip and may cause injury. Make sure
that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
start equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes, vapors or
particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for short periods only, e.g. to
carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a door.
On compressors without bodywork, wear ear protection in the vicinity of the machine.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 80 dB(A)
shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
• All guards are in place and securely fastened
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• There are no leaks
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good repair, free
of wear or abuse
9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom, take
precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.
10. On water-cooled compressors using open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to
avoid the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella or pneumophila bacteria.
11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.

12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every pressure
vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure shall be
protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
1.5 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair

manufacturer.
Precautions during maintenance or repair

1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached to the starting
equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of pressure
and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions against
toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts
and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify,
pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that
2920 7105 30 7

Instruction book
they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has been
reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork
and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by
genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use
breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush
abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical
first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.

A fan on the drive motor shaft provides air flow to cool the oil and the other components of the compressor.
On tank-mounted compressors, the air receiver is used as air cooler. The condensate is drained manually.
The dryer (DR) of Full-Feature versions has a separate cooling fan and an automatic condensate drain (see
also section Air dryer).
2.5 Regulating system
GX 2 up to GX 5
The main components of the regulating system are:
2920 7105 30 17

Instruction book
• Pressure switch (PSR11)

• Blow-off valve (Y1)
The contacts of pressure switch (PSR11) open and close at preset pressures. During loaded operation, the
contacts are closed: the motor is running.
When the working pressure reaches the upper limit, the contacts of the pressure switch open: the motor stops.
Blow-off valve (Y1) opens and the pressure in the air/oil separator is released. When the working pressure
decreases to the pre-set minimum pressure, the contacts of the pressure switch close and the motor restarts.
Blow-off valve Y1 closes and compressed air supply is resumed.
GX 7
Detail view of unloader assembly (UA)
The main components of the regulating system are:

• Pressure switch, which opens and closes at preset pressure limits. See also section Protection of the
compressor.
• Unloader (UA), including inlet valve (IV) and unloading valve (UV).
• Loading solenoid valve (Y1).
As long as the working pressure is below the preset maximum, the solenoid valve is energised, allowing
control air to the unloader: the inlet valve opens completely and the unloading valve closes completely. The
compressor will run fully loaded (100% output).
When the working pressure reaches the maximum limit, the solenoid valve is de-energised, venting the control
air: the inlet valve closes completely and the unloading valve opens completely. The compressor will run
unloaded (0% output). If the compressor keeps running unloaded for an uninterrupted period of 240 seconds,
it will be stopped. If the pressure reaches the minimum pressure level before the 240 seconds are reached, the
compressor will automatically start running loaded again.
The compressor will automatically restart when the net pressure drops to the minimum limit.

(1): whichever comes first.

(2): more frequently in a dusty environment
(3): The indicated oil exchange intervals are valid for standard operating conditions (see section Reference
conditions and limitations) and nominal operating pressure (see section Compressor data). Exposure of the
compressor to external pollutants or operation at high humidity combined with low duty cycles may require
a shorter oil exchange interval. Contact Atlas Copco if in doubt.
Important
• Always consult Atlas Copco if a service timer setting has to be changed.

• For the change interval of oil and oil filter in extreme conditions, consult your Atlas
Copco Customer Centre.
• Any leakage should be attended to immediately. Damaged hoses or flexible joints must
be replaced.
5.2 Drive motor
General
Keep the outside of the electric motor clean for efficient cooling. If necessary, remove dust with a brush and/
or compressed air jet.

For part numbers, consult the Spare Parts List.
Roto-Inject Fluid
Atlas Copco's Roto-Inject Fluid is a specially developed lubricant for use in single stage oil-injected screw
compressors. Its specific composition keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Roto-Inject Fluid can be
used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F). If the
compressor is regularly operating in ambient temperatures between 40 °C and 46 °C (115 °F), oil lifetime is
reduced significantly. In such case it is recommended to use Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid.
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid

Atlas Copco's Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is a high quality synthetic lubricant for oil-injected screw compressors
which keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Because of its excellent oxidation stability, Roto-Xtend
Duty Fluid can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 46 ˚C
(115 ˚F).
Roto-Foodgrade Fluid
Special oil, delivered as an option.
Atlas Copco's Roto-Foodgrade Fluid is a unique high quality synthetic lubricant, specially created for oil-
injected screw compressors providing air for the food industry. This lubricant keeps the compressor in
excellent condition. Roto-Foodgrade Fluid can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures
between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).
5.4 Oil, filter and separator change
Important
Never mix oils of different brands or types. A label, indicating the type of oil filled ex-factory,
is stuck on the air receiver/oil tank.
Always drain the compressor oil at all drain points. Used oil left in the compressor can
shorten the lifetime of the new oil.
If the compressor is exposed to external pollutants, is being used at high temperatures (oil
temperature above 90˚C / 194˚F) or is being used under severe conditions, it is advisable
to change the oil more frequently. Consult Atlas Copco.

9 Instructions for use
Oil separator vessel
1 The vessel can contain pressurised air. This can be potentially dangerous if the equipment
is misused.
2 This vessel must only be used as a compressed air/oil separator tank and must be
operated within the limits specified on the data plate.
3 No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical methods
without the written permission of the manufacturer.
4 The pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly indicated.
5 The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of 1.1 times the maximum
allowable operating pressure. It should guarantee that the pressure will not permanently
exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel.
6 Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
7 In case of misuse of the units (frequent operation with too low oil temperature or long
interval of shut down), a certain amount of condensate can gather in the oil separator
vessel which must be properly drained. To do so, disconnect the unit from the power line,
wait till it is cooled down and depressurised and drain the water by the oil drain valve,
positioned at the bottom side of the oil separator vessel.
Local legislation may require an periodic inspection.
Air receiver (on tank-mounted units)
1 Corrosion must be prevented: depending on the conditions of use, condensate may

accumulate inside the tank and must be drained every day. This may be done
manually by opening the drain valve, or by means of the automatic drain, if fitted to the
tank. Nevertheless, a weekly check of correct functioning of the automatic valve is needed.
This has to be done by opening the manual drain valve and check for condensate. Verify
that no rust obstructions affect the drain system.
2 Yearly service inspection of the air receiver is needed, as internal corrosion can
reduce the steel wall thickness with the consequent risk of bursting. Local rules need
to be respected, if applicable. The use of the air receiver is forbidden once the wall
thickness reaches the minimum value as indicated in the service manual of the air receiver
(part of the documentation delivered with the unit).
3 Lifetime of the air receiver mainly depends on the working environment. Installing the
compressor in a dirty and corrosive environment is not allowed, as this can reduce the
vessel lifetime dramatically.
4 Do not anchor the vessel or attached components directly to the ground or fixed structures.
Fit the pressure vessel with vibration dampers to avoid possible fatigue failure caused by
vibration of the vessel during use.
5 Use the vessel within the pressure and temperature limits stated on the nameplate and
the testing report.
6 No alterations must be made to this vessel by welding, drilling or other mechanical
methods.
