16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be accidentally touched
by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature piping must be
clearly marked.
17. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by
a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
18. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
19. If the device is a dryer and no free extinguishing system is present in the air net close to the dryer, safety
valves must be installed in the vessels of the dryer.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

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
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.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.

2 General description
2.1 Introduction
Introduction
GX 2 EP, GX 3 EP, GX 4 EP, GX 5 EP and GX 7 EP are air-cooled, single-stage, oil-injected screw
compressors, driven by an electric motor.
The compressors are belt driven.
The compressors are enclosed in sound-insulating bodywork.
An easy-to-operate control panel is provided, including the start/stop switch and the emergency stop button.
A cabinet housing the regulator, pressure switch and motor starter is integrated into the bodywork.
Pack versions do not include an air dryer.
Full-Feature versions are fitted with an air dryer (DR). The dryer removes moisture from the compressed air
by cooling the air to near the freezing point and automatically draining the condensate.
Floor-mounted model
The compressor is installed directly on the floor.
The floor-mounted model is available as Pack version only.

diagram, included in the cubicle of the compressor.
2920 7105 31 27
After tripping of the temperature protection: switch off the voltage and depressurise. Check and remedy. See
Problem solving. Wait a few minutes to let the machine cool down.
28 2920 7105 31
Wet compressed air (B) enters the dryer. The air then flows through a heat exchanger (2) where refrigerant
evaporates, withdrawing heat from the air. The cold air then flows through a condensate trap (1) which
separates condensate from the air. The condensate is automatically drained and this is regulated by a timer.
The dried air is then discharged from the dryer.
2920 7105 31 29
3 Installation
Outdoor/altitude operation
If the compressor is installed outdoors or if the ambient temperature can be below 0˚C (32˚F), precautions
must be taken. In this case, and also if operating at high altitude, consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
To prevent a tank-mounted model from falling over during transport by a pallet truck: push
the forks underneath the air receiver and place a wooden beam (1) (cross-section approx.
4 x 6 cm / 1.6 x 2.4 in) through the supports on both sides of the receiver. While holding
the compressor, slowly lift the forks until the receiver is secured between the beams.

Oil system
Step Action
If more than 3 months have passed between assembly and installation, be sure to
lubricate the compressor before starting up:
• Remove the front panel.
• Unscrew the fixing bolts in the top and remove the panel.
• Unscrew the cover of the air filter (AF) and remove the filter element.
• Open valve (7) and drain approximately 0.2 l (0.05 US gal / 0.04 Imp gal) of oil into a
clean receptacle. Carefully pour this oil through the filter housing into the compressor
element.
• Fit the air filter and screw on the filter cover.
• Refit the top and front panels.
Check the oil level.
The oil level sight-glass (SG) must be above the minimum level. If the oil level is below the
minimum level, top up to the middle. Do not overfill. Always use the same type of oil.
Start-up
2920 7105 31 41
Step Action
1 Check that all bodywork panels are fitted.
Check that sheet (5) (explaining the procedure for checking the motor rotation direction)
is affixed to the cooling air outlet of the compressor (grating on the compressor top).
Consult Dimension drawings.
Switch on the voltage. Start the compressor and stop it immediately.
Check the rotation direction of the motor. If the motor rotation direction is correct, the label
on the top grating will be blown upwards. If the sheet remains in place, the rotation direction
is incorrect.
If the rotation direction is incorrect, switch off the voltage, open the isolating switch and
reverse two incoming electric lines.
All electrical work should be carried out by professionally qualified people.
2 Start and run the compressor for a few minutes. Check that the compressor operates
normally.

5 Maintenance
Warning
Warranty-Product Liability
Use only authorised parts. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of unauthorised parts is not covered
by Warranty or Product Liability.
General
When servicing, replace all removed gaskets, O-rings and washers.
Intervals
Carry out maintenance at the interval which comes first. The local Atlas Copco Customer Centre may overrule
the maintenance schedule, especially the service intervals, depending on the environmental and working
conditions of the compressor.
The "longer interval" checks must also include the "shorter interval" checks.
48 2920 7105 31
Important
General
Keep the outside of the electric motor clean for efficient cooling. If necessary, remove dust with a brush and/
or compressed air jet.
Description
The motor bearings are greased for life.
2920 7105 31 49
Never mix oils of different brands or types as they may not be compatible and the oil mix
will have inferior properties. A label, indicating the type of oil filled ex-factory, is stuck on
the air receiver/oil tank.
It is strongly recommended to use Atlas Copco lubricants. See section Preventive maintenance schedule for
recommended oil change intervals.
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-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).
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.

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.
