3. HOW TO OPERATE [Daily Operation]
3.5 Daily Operation

CAUTION
● Do not operate the machine with the pressure excess of its rated pressure. Excessive pressure gives
overload to the motor and may damage some parts or even cause SHUTDOWN of the compressor.
● Investigate the cause and take necessary measures when the Relief Valve functions or the compres-
sor stops by other safety device. Ask your dealer or your nearest Hitachi Service Station if there is
any question.
● When the A automatically stops and restarts frequently, or the ambient temperature and
humidity are high, open the oil/condensate drain valve of the oil case to drain the condensate from
time to time. If you do not observe this instruction, the air end (rotors, bearings, etc.) and the compo-
nents rust internally to cause a failure and/or the oil deteriorates. For more information, see page 17.

4. DAILY CHECK [Lubricant Management]
4.3 Lubricant Management

WARNING
1. When deteriorated lubricant is used without replacement, some of it adhere to the Oil Separator Ele-
ment and accumulate heat caused by its oxidization. This may bring even fire in the worst case.
2. Change lubricant and Oil Separator Element constantly according to the standard given by the Main-
tenance Standard ( ☞ pp. 45-46). Deteriorated Lubricant may result fire to the Oil Separator.
3. Use genuine synthetic oil (NEW A OIL 2000) for lubricant. Avoid use of other brand or mix use
with it.
4.3.1 Oil level check

Check lubricant level by the oil level gauge on the
oil case while the unit is working (loaded opera-
tion).
It is normal if the level is kept between two red
lines.
The level over the upper line is too much. Stop
the compressor and after check of no residual
pressure is left inside, discharge off the surplus

● Oil replenishment shall be carried out every 1500 to 2000
operating hours. Replenish amount might be;
2 to 3 liters for 22 kW, and 3 to 4 liters for 37 kW.
(Actual replenish amount shall be determined by the oil
level, as it is varied by the load rate of the compressor.)
● Sampling analysis of the oil at every 3000 hours interval is
recommended. Earlier oil replacement might be neces-
sary, depending on the result of the analysis.
Consult HITACHI dealer for the sampling analysis.

WARNING
The built-in air dryer uses non-flammable, non-toxic, and odorless refrigerant (Freon gas R-407C). The
Freon gas leak from the system, however, may generate toxic gas by contact with fire and it may irritate
the eyes and throats. In addition, it covers the floor because it is larger in specific weight than the air,
which may cause oxygen deficit to the personnel. When the Freon gas leaks, therefore, extinguish the fire,
ventilate the room with a sweep-the-floor motion, and contact a Hitachi distributor.

WARNING
1. Running the unit with deteriorated lubricant unchanged or in a very hot condition brings the lubricant
ignites and this may cause serious accident.
Keep the lubricant well controlled (See pages 18 through 19).
2. Do not operate the unit without protective equipment. In case of SHUTDOWN, read this section “5.
TROUBLESHOOTING” to remove the cause. If the cause is unknown, inform and ask your dealer or
Hitachi Service Station.
CAUTION
● Running the unit with its loose belt brings not only lowered discharge air capacity due to its slipping,
but also life of belt shortened. If belt is broken during the operation, the lubricant blows out of the
Suction Throttle Valve. Be sure to carry out your constant check on belt.
● If the unit stops due to the function of Temperature Relay, check leakage in the mechanical seal and
replace it if lubricant leak is found there.

Afterwards, the P-type capacity control may
be selected and, when the conditions are sat-
isfied, the motor may be automatically stopped.
IMPORTANT
Even when the automatic-stop conditions are satisfied,
the condensate control function (i.e. some ambient and
operating factors) may cause the motor to continue op-
erating. This is not abnormal.

7.6 Instructions on Electrical Wiring

WARNING
1. Personnel who carry out the wiring work must have a license. Ask personnel who have license. Wir-
ing work by personnel without license may cause troubles like electric shock accident.
2. Do not take the protective relay off the compressor or make any modification which might hinder its
relay function on the electrical circuit. Such modification will remove its protective functions and may
cause to serious accident like burning the compressor. Ask your dealer if you must have a modifica-
tion to the unit.
3. Be sure to turn the POWER OFF to get rid of electric shock accident, when the cover of starter should
be removed for wiring work or inspection. Attach a plate on the POWER side saying “Maintenance
Work. Do Not Electrifying” to prevent other workers from re-inputting the POWER.

IMPORTANT
These are values for the cables less than 10m in length.
For over 10m, thicker cable is required. In such case,
keep the thickness below its maximum value on the
compressor side by using intermediate terminals.
CAUTION
● Be sure to equip a earth leakage circuit breaker to the Power. Wiring with only disconnector like
Knife Switch is not sufficient and may not protect the compressor and cause burning when short
circuit occurs.
● Be sure that the compressor is appropriately grounded. If not, this can cause electric shock accident
or shutdown to the compressor. Do not use Steel Skeleton as a ground for the compressor. This may
cause malfunction. Ground the cable by itself into the earth.

8. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
● Before Maintenance work, read “To Use in Safety” ( ☞ p. 2) again carefully.
● Be sure to turn the POWER OFF when check or maintenance is carried out. If not, such work may
cause serious accident like electric shock.
● When part of the unit needs to be disassembled or removed, be sure to release its internal pressure to
the level of ambient air pressure. Residual high pressure inside the unit will blow out of it when a
bolt, pipe or other part is removed, and may cause unexpected accident.
IMPORTANT
(1) ○ mark on the maintenance standard chart at pages 45 through 46 means an item which the user can carry out.
(2) ● mark means that you ask your dealer or Hitachi’s Service Station to do.
(3) Except for the case as specifically stated otherwise, maintenance time means consecutive maintenance schedule, e.g., once
every year stands for another maintenance for the next year, and after next year, and so forth.
(4) Operation Record Logbook is quite important for periodic maintenance as well as for finding out of cause for repair promptly in
case of Shut-Down. It is recommended to record the Logbook which is attached to the end of this manual.
