AR16
The AR16 air compressor must NOT be used for anything other than the uses covered in this instruction
manual.
The use of the AR16 by several people at the same time is pointless, and, anyway, it is not allowed for
safety reasons.
The AR16 air compressor is NOT suitable for use in areas where there is a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Take care to place your AR16 air compressor on a smooth and stable surface so that the machine will
be stable while you work.
The electrical installation must be match the voltage, frequency and power draw of the motor and the
cables must be of an appropriate cross section.
safety warnings
Do not open the control box of your AR16 air compressor. In the event of a fault, please contact TEIN-
NOVA Technical Assistance Service on [phone].
Safety glasses must always be worn to prevent any dust or flying objects there may be from reaching
the operator’s eyes.
Secure the AR16 air compressor properly and apply the wheel locks when transporting it.
Should you have any doubts about the proper functioning of the compressor or its components, please
contact TEINNOVA Technical Assistance Service on [phone].

Air compressor
AR16
The AR16 is a machine for generating compressed air by means of a boxer type double-piston system. It is
essentialtoitsproperoperationtomaintainfreespace around the machine for ventilation while working. The
distance between the air generator and any obstacle or wall must be greater than 1.5 meters.
conditions of use
The machine may only be
controlled by authorised and
properly trained personnel, or at
least those with sufficient technical
experience.

1- Fit the wheels and the anti-vibration support, remove the cap from the compressor head and screw in the
intake filter, if it is not already fitted.
2- Remove the plug from the crankcase cover and insert the dipstick.
3- Carefully check that the oil level is between the maximum and minimum values on the dipstick.

operating instructions
After the first 5 hours the lubricant must
be completely replaced with one of the
oils listed below.

2- Plug in the cable and start the compressor by putting the pressure controller switch in the ON position.
1- Once the preparation operations have been completed, the compressor can start working. Check that the
switch is in the OFF position.
operating instructions
3- The first time the machine is used, leave the compressor on for about 10 minutes with the air vents fully
open.
4- After this time, close the air vents and check that the compressor fills the tank and stops automatically
when the maximum pressure shown on the compressor plate and visible on the pressure gauge is reached.

operating instructions
For correct use, you must check the instruction manual for the optimum pressure for the accessory to be used
Using the reducer D, it is possible to set the compressed air pressure at the outlet to the desired value.
To perform this operation, simply turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the pressure and
counter-clockwise to decrease it. This pressure is shown on the pressure gauge E.
After use, we recommend resetting the pressure value to zero. This is done so that the pressure reducer does
not deteriorate so quickly.

Motor protector

The single-phase compressor has been fitted with a safety and motor protection device called Motor
Protector E. This device is activated when the motor overheats, and after a malfunction. Under these
circumstances, the motor protector operates automatically, cutting the power supply and preventing the
motor from being damaged. It is advisable to wait for 5 minutes before manually resetting the motor protec-
tor and starting the compressor.

The machine has been designed to be transportable in a small van.
During transport the machine must be firmly secured to prevent any damage. It must also be placed in its
normal working position (vertical) and the brakes on the wheels applied.
It is not advisable to place the machine on a pallet or similar. The machine must be on a completely flat and
horizontal surface.
The machine must be transported in its operating position. Never lying down.

Check the oil level and, if necessary, add ONLY oil of the same type (never exceed the max. level).
Drain the condensation by opening the stopper located under the tank and close it again when only air is
flowing out.
Check the tightness of all bolts, especially the bolts of the
cylinder head and base.
Replace the oil.
NEVER mix oils different types.
DO NOT dispose of the oil into the environment.
maintenance and care
After the first 50 hours:
Remove the intake filter and replace it (if damaged) or clean the
filter element.
PAPER filter: spray compressed air from the inside out.
FOAM filter: wash with detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly.
METAL filter: wash with non-greasy solvent and spray with
compressed air. Never operate the compressor without the
intake filter.
Maintenance:
Weekly:
Every month (or more frequently if used in dusty environments):

maintenance and care
Replace the oil (with the compressor hot): remove the dipstick,
unscrew bolt A and collect the used oil in a container.
Screw bolt A back in, and fill with new oil up to the max. level.
First use oil: Mineral oil 15W-50.
Never mix different oils.
Thoroughly clean all parts with cooling fins.
Every 6 months:
Every 2 years:
Checkthecheckvalveand,ifnecessary,replacethe flow control

Check the intake and outlet valves.

Keep the machine as clean as possible. Keep the equipment in a place protected from the weather.
Your AR16 has a fast-acting thermal circuit breaker as a safety system that cuts off the power in the event of
a heavy overload or a failure to start due to low voltage.
There is a forced air cooling system, generated by a built-in fan, and passing over all the parts fitted with
fins, both the motor and the head. While your AR16 is operating, dust particles will be fall onto the surfaces
creating a thermal barrier. Therefore, the external surfaces of the compressor must be kept clean to ensure
efficient cooling of the machine.
maintenance and care
Once the work is finished, remember
to release the compressor’s internal
pressure. The AR16 air compressor
must not be started while there is still
internal pressure, as the machine could
be seriously damaged.
Do NOT use flammable liquids to
clean the AR16 air compressor, nor
products that do not comply with
current regulations.
The compressor must not be started while there
is still internal pressure as serious damage to the
equipment may occur. To release this pressure,
leave your compressed air powered TEGRAS
tool running with the compressor switched off.
It is advisable to switch off the compressor during
long periods of inactivity (> 15 min) to avoid
premature wear of its components.

troubleshooting guide
problem solution
1. Tank loses pressure. 1. Check and tighten all the connections. If the condition
persists, contact technical assistance.
2. Thoroughly clean the check valve seat. If necessary,
replace the flow control part.
3. Empty start valve broken. Stop the compressor and
contact technical assistance.
4.1. Turn off the mains power and after a few minutes
press the motor protection button. If the motor
protection is activated again when the compressor is
restarted, contact technical assistance.
4.2. The motor casing is burned, contact an support
centre.
2. Air loss through the pressure switch valve with
the compressor stopped.
3. Air leaking from the pressure switch valve after
the compressor has been running for more than 1
minute.
4. The compressor stops and won’t start.
5. The compressor doesn’t stop when it reaches
Pmax. and the safety valve activates. 5. Possible broken pressure switch. Stop the compressor and contact technical assistance.
6. The compressor does not pressurise and over-
heats. 6. The cylinder head gasket or a valve has broken. Immediately stop the compressor and contact technical
assistance.
7. The compressor makes a lot of noise, with
rhythmic and metallic bumps. 7. Jamming of the bushing or the sleeve. Immediately stop the compressor and contact technical
assistance.
