- Repair of the compressor must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repair or maintenance performed by an unqualified person can create risk of injury.
- Do not manipulate, drill or weld the tank. In case of defects or rust, contact our technical services.
- Air regulator: Controls the outlet pressure of the air flow. Turn the regulator clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to reduce it.
- Handle: With anti-slip rubber that allows an easy and safe movement. ]
- Air outlet: With universal quick connector that allows you to connect a hose safely, comfortably and easily.
- Vent: Allows emptying of the air tank and water by condensation. |
- O / F switch pressure switch to turn the compressor on and off |
- Pressure gauge: Indicates the outlet pressure selected with the regulator (1). (Figure A). |
- Safety valve: Relieves the pressure of the tank in the event of it exceeding 8.8 bar. The valve is a critical element in the safety of the compressor. It must not be manipulated under any circumstances. Periodically check its operation by pulling slightly on the ring.
- Air reservoir: Stores the air produced by the compressor head.
- Air filter: Ensures compressor operation free of impurities. Starting the compressor without the air filter installed may cause damage to the inside of the compressor head. (See assembly in figure
- Wheels: It facilitates the displacement of the compressor in a safe and comfortable way. This equipment is not suitable for towing by a vehicle. (only on models with wheels).
- Rubber plugs: They prevent the movement of the compressor and the transmission of vibrations (only on models with wheels)

OPERATING PRINCIPLE.
To understand the air, the piston moves up and down inside the cylinder. In
the down stroke, the air is contracted through the inlet valve. The discharge
valve remains closed. In the upward stroke of the piston, the air is
compressed. The inlet valve closes and the compressed air is forced to be
directed towards the tank through the non-return valve. In a conventional
piston compressor, the air load is maintained until reaching the maximum
pressure, 8 bar. The electronic pressure control that this compressor
incorporates allows to select a lower maximum pressure limit, which reduces
the waiting time to start work.
