Power supply

• Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up.
• In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness

On/Off switch (8)
To switch on the compressor, pull out the knob (8). To switch off the compressor, press the knob (8) back in. (Figure 2)

Adjusting the pressure: (Fig. 1,2)

• You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7).
• The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (5).

Setting the pressure switch

The pressure switch is set at the factory. Switch-on pressure 6 bar Switch-off pressure 8 bar

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the appliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.
Danger!
After use, always switch off the equipment immediately and pull out the power plug. 

Cleaning

• Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after you use it.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the appliance.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compressor with water, solvents or the like.

Condensation water (Fig. 1)
Notice! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (2), drain off the condensed water by opening the drain valve (11) each time after using. Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, please contact the customer service workshop

Notice!
The condensation water from the pressure vessel will contain residual oil. Dispose of the condensation water in an environmentally compatible manner at the appropriate collection point.

Safety valve (10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when required. To do so, open the screw cap of the valve while the tank is under pressure. Once the screw cap has been fully opened you must pull it to let air escape through the valve. Then screw the cap fully back in place.

Check the oil level at regular intervals
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface. The oil level must be between the two marks MAX and MIN on the oil oil level window
(Fig. 10,11).

Changing the oil: Recommended hydraulic oil: SAE 5W/40 or an alternative of the same quality. It should be refilled for the first time after 10 hours of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained and refilled after every 100 hours in service.

Changing the oil
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the socket. After releasing any air pressure you can unscrew the oil drainage screw (15) from the compressor pump. To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening and collect the oil in a vessel. If the oil does not drain out completely, we recommend tilting the compressor slightly.

Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil.
When the oil has drained out, re-fi t the oil drainage screw (15). Fill new oil through the oil filler opening (13) until it comes up to the required level. Then replace the oil sealing plug (14).

Cleaning the intake filter (1)
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to clean this filter after at least every 100 hours in operation. A clogged intake filter will decrease the compressor‘s performance dramatically. Undo the screw on the air filter so that the halves of the air filter housing can be opened. Use compressed air at low pressure (approx. 3 bar) to blow out all the parts of

the filter and then assemble the filter in reverse order. When cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).
Storage
Warning!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person.
Important!
Store the compressor only in a dry location. Always store upright, never tilted!
