This is essentially a troubleshooting Bible. The manual lists every alarm (yellow triangle) and shutdown (red circle) with a numeric code. Examples:

| Code | Message | Meaning | Manual’s Recommended Action | |------|---------|---------|------------------------------| | 104 | High element temp | Oil temp > 110°C | Check cooler, oil level, thermal valve | | 121 | Low line pressure | Pressure below min setpoint | Check air demand, leakages, inlet valve | | 145 | Motor overload | Thermal relay tripped | Check amps, motor cooling | | 441 | Pressure sensor failure | Sensor open/short | Measure 24V supply, replace sensor |

Without the manual, these codes are just numbers. With the manual, you become a diagnostician.
