-
Examine the machine for signs of transit damage.
Report any damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor. -
The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
-
Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
-
Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
-
Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
-
The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inflammable gases in the room.
-
The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.
-
The oil level in the compressor pump has to be checked before putting the equipment into operation.
-
The equipment must be set up where it can stand securely.
-
Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).
Assembly and starting
Danger!
You must fully assemble the appliance before
using it for the fi rst time.
6.1 Fitting the wheels (3)
Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Fig. 5.
6.2 Fitting the supporting feet (4)
Fit the supplied supporting feet (4) as shown in Fig. 6.
6.3 Replacing the oil sealing plug (14)
Remove the transportation cover from the oil filler opening with a screwdriver
and insert the supplied oil sealing plug (14) into the oil filler opening (Fig.
7).
6.4 Fitting the air fi lter (1)
Use a screwdriver to remove the transportation cover from the air fi lter
connection.
Screw in the supplied air fi lter (Fig. 8).
6.5 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.
6.6 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)
6.7 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).
6.8 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.
8.1 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.
8.2 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 con- tact 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.
8.3 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.
8.4 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 refi lled for the fi rst time after 10 hours of
operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained and refi lled after every 100
hours in service.
8.5 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 fi ller opening (13) until it comes up to the required level.
Then replace the oil sealing plug (14).
8.6 Cleaning the intake fi lter (1)
The intake fi lter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to
clean this fi lter after at least every 100 hours in operation. A clogged
intake fi lter will decrease the compressor‘s performance dramatically. Undo
the screw on the air fi lter so that the halves of the air fi lter housing can
be opened. Use compressed air at low pressure (approx. 3 bar) to blow out all
the parts of the fi lter and then assemble the fi lter in reverse order. When
cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face
mask).
8.7 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!
