1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.2 Caution for the DCBL (main) motor


DCBL motor is the permanent magnetic motor.

WARNING
Contact the local HITACHI distributor/master dealer or representative office for the repair or disassembly.
Repair and disassembly work must be performed by licensed technician to avoid the electric shock,
injury and/or fire.

Keep the magnetic rotor from a person with electronic medical equipment, such as a cardiac pacemaker.
The medical equipment may malfunction, which may lead to a fatal danger to the person.

Do not connect the motor with anything other than a dedicated controller to avoid the electric shock,
injury and/or fire.

CAUTION
A very strong magnetic force of attraction or repelling is generated between the magnetic rotor and the
other magnet rotors, magnets, iron pieces or iron tools.
Be careful extremely when handling the magnetic rotor. You may get your hand caught in during
rotor assembly work or lose a balance because of attraction or repelling force, which may cause
an accident and/or injury.

Magnets attract iron chips or other metal particles easily. Be very careful for handling.
Using the magnetic rotor with particles may cause a failure.

Do not bring the magnetic rotor close to an electronic device, such as PC board, LCD monitor.
It may cause a failure of electric device.

Do not bring the magnetic rotor to a magnetic tape, computer diskette, prepaid card, ticket, electronic
clock, cathode-ray tube, etc. Electronic record may be damaged or become unusable due to
magnetization.

■ Disposal
Dispose of DCBL (main) motor as general industrial waste. Before disposing
of the magnetic rotor, heat the rotor to 500°C or higher with a gas burner or
heating furnace for thermal demagnetization.

5.3 Lubricant management

WARNING
1. When deteriorated lubricant is used without replacement, some of it adheres on the oil separator element
and accumulates heat caused by its oxidization. This may bring even fire in the worst separator tank.
2. Change lubricant and oil separator element constantly according to the standard maintenance
schedule ( 9.2 and 9.3). Deteriorated Lubricant may result fire to the oil separator element. If the
fire breaks out, immediately disconnect the power.
3. Use genuine synthetic oil (NEW SCREW OIL NEXT) for lubricant. Avoid use of other brand or mix
use with it.

WARNING
1. A
 lways use a licensed electrician. Do not allow an unlicensed person to wire the compressor. An
unlicensed person may wire the air compressor wrongly, and a wrong wiring may cause an electric shock.
2. D
 o not remove any protective relays on the air compressor. Also, do not make a modification of the
control circuit that may result in impairing the protective relay's function. Remember that the loss of
the protective relay's function may cause serious damage to the air compressor such as a burning of
the airend. In the event that you need to modify the control circuit, consult your distributor.
3. B
 efore opening the control panel to service or wire the air compressor, disconnect the power;
otherwise you may receive an electric shock. In case that the air compressor has the variable speed
drive, such as controller or fan inverter, the variable speed drive are still charged when the power is
disconnected. Be sure to wait approximately 10 minutes after power-off so that each variable speed
drive discharges electricity before starting the procedure. In addition, attach a notice on the power
supply stating “Under the maintenance work. Keep the switch off.” to prevent someone from
carelessly turning the switch on.

9. MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
● Before servicing the air compressor, carefully read “1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”.
● Before servicing, disconnect the power to prevent an electric shock.
●T he inverter is still live immediately after disconnecting the power. Before servicing the instrument/control panel,
verify that the inverter’s charge indicators are off or wait 10 minutes after disconnecting the power.
● Before removing or disassembling any parts on the air compressor, stop it, disconnect the power and
make sure that the internal pressure of the air compressor has dropped to atmospheric pressure to
prevent high pressure air from blowing off and causing injury. Special attention must be paid to the
piping between the compressor check valve and stop valve located in the air discharge piping.
