Instruction book
This instruction book describes how to handle the machines to ensure safe operation, optimum efficiency and long service life.
Read this book before putting the machine into operation to ensure correct handling, operation and proper maintenance from
the beginning. The maintenance schedule comprises measures for keeping the machine in good condition.
Keep the book available for the operator and make sure that the machine is operated and that maintenance is carried out
according to the instructions. Record all operating data, maintenance performed, etc. in an operator's logbook available from
Atlas Copco. Follow all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned on the cover of this book.
Repairs must be carried out by trained personnel from Atlas Copco who can be contacted for any further information.
In all correspondence always mention the type and the serial number, shown on the data plate.
For all data not mentioned in the text, see sections "Preventive maintenance schedule" and "Principal data".
The company reserves the right to make changes without prior notice.

GA Pack
GA Pack are enclosed in a sound-insulated bodywork. The
compressors are controlled by the Atlas Copco Elektronikon
regulator, which is fitted to the door of the front panel. The
Elektronikon regulator reduces the power consumption and it
allows the operator to easily program and monitor the
compressor.
An electric cabinet comprising the motor starter is located
behind this panel.
The compressors are provided with an automatic condensate
drain system.
GA Full-feature (Fig. 1.2)
GA Full-feature are GA Pack compressors additionally
provided with an air dryer integrated in the bodywork. The
dryer removes moisture from the compressed air by cooling
the air to near freezing point and automatically draining the
condensate. See section 1.5.

Shut-down warning
If the compressor element outlet temperature exceeds a
programmed value below the shut-down level, this will also
be indicated to warn the operator before the shut-down level
is reached.
Service warning
The regulator continuously monitors the oil, oil filter, oil
separator and air filter.
Each input is compared to programmed limits. If these limits
are exceeded, a message will appear on the display (Fig. 1.11)
to warn the operator to replace the indicated component. The
number of the service kit will appear on the display.
Warning
A warning message also appears if the dewpoint temperature
exceeds the warning level. 4)

- On GA Standard Pack, move switch (S4-Fig. 1.17)
to the left. Wait 30 seconds and press button (S3).
- On GA Pack / Full-feature, press button (9-Fig. 1.11),
wait until the compressor has stopped (approx. 30
seconds) and press button (S3).
2. Switch off the voltage. If a separate voltage supply is
provided for the dryer, make sure that the voltage to the
dryer is also switched off.
3. Close air outlet valve (3-Fig. 1.1/2-Fig. 1.2) and
depressurize the air system.
4. Apply all relevant safety precautions, including those
mentioned in this book.
The air outlet valve can be locked during maintenance or repair
as follows:
- Close the valve.
- Remove the bolt fixing the handle.
- Lift the handle and turn it until the slot of the handle fits

Notes
1. More frequently when operating in a dusty atmosphere.
2. Use an oil filter as specified in the Parts list.
3. It is strongly recommended to use Atlas Copco Roto-injectfluid. This is special long-life oil of superior quality.
4. Damaged flexibles must be replaced immediately.
5. An automatic condensate drain system is available as option on GA Standard Pack.
6. For Pack/Full-feature: consult the User manual for the Elektronikon regulator for resetting the service timer.
7. Replace the filter if damaged.
8. Any leak should be attended to immediately.
9. For GA Pack / Full-feature: consult the User Manual for the Elektronikon regulator, section "Display test".
10. For GA Pack / Full-feature: consult the User Manual for the Elektronikon regulator, section "Modify settings submenu",
before modifying the temperature protection settings.
Stop the compressor. Decrease the shut-down warning level for the compressor element outlet temperature to the
minimum setting and the shut-down level a few degrees higher. Run the compressor: when reaching the warning level,
the control panel must indicate a warning, at the shut-down level, the unit must shut down. If not, consult Atlas Copco.
Afterwards, reset the warning and shut-down levels to their original values.
For GA Standard Pack, consult Atlas Copco for testing.
11. Atlas Copco has oil separators to separate the major part of the oil from the condensate to ensure that the condensate
meets the requirements of the environmental codes.

4. Clean the filter seat on the manifold. Oil the gasket of the
new element. Screw the element into place and tighten
firmly by hand.
5. Remove filler plug (2) and fill with oil until the level reaches
the plug. Reinstall and tighten plug (2).
6. Run the compressor for a few minutes. Stop the compressor
and wait a few minutes to allow the oil to settle.
Depressurize the system by unscrewing filler plug (2) one
turn to permit any pressure in the system to escape. Fill the
receiver with oil until the level reaches the filler plug.
Tighten plug (2).
7. Reset the oil and oil filter service warning. 3)
Attention
Never mix oils of different brands or types. Use only nontoxic oils.

by the use of unauthorized parts is not covered by Warranty or
Product Liability.
2) Whichever interval comes first. The local Sales Company may
overrule the maintenance schedule, especially the service
intervals, depending on the environmental and working conditions
of the compressor.

5.2 Coolers
Keep the coolers (see Figs. 1.3/1.5) clean to maintain the
cooling efficiency.
Remove any dirt from the coolers with a fibre brush. Never
use a wire brush or metal objects. Then clean by air jet in
reverse direction of normal flow. If it should be necessary to
wash the coolers with a cleansing agent, consult Atlas Copco.
Testing
The valve can be tested on a separate compressed air line. If
the valve does not open at the pressure marked on the valve,
consult Atlas Copco.
Warning
No adjustments are allowed. Never run the compressor
without safety valve.
