PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY

• Remove the compressor from the packaging and inspect for any shortages or damage. If anything is found to be missing or damaged contact your supplier.
• 4.2. Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
• 4.3. The compressor should be installed on a flat surface, or one that does not exceed 10° either transversely or longitudinally, and should be in a position that allows good air circulation around the unit.

OPERATION

WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood, and applied Section 1 Safety Instructions.

• Make sure that the main switch (fig.3) is ‘Off’ (up).
• Ensure that the tank drain valve is closed. (See fig.4).
• Close the outlet pressure regulator by turning the knob clockwise (See fig.2).
• Connect the air tool required to the compressor via an air line connected to the air outlet (See Fig. 2).
• Plug the mains cable into the mains supply and start the compressor by setting the Auto-On /Off to the Auto-On position i.e. horizontal.
• Allow the pressure in the tank to rise to the maximum at which point the compressor will automatically cut out. The tank pressure is shown on the larger gauge (fig.2).
• Begin to gradually open the regulator by turning the knob anticlockwise until the small gauge registers the required operating pressure specified for the tool to be used. Always adjust up to the required pressure rather than down from a higher pressure. The required setting, once achieved, can be locked by screwing the locking ring (See fig.2) up tight underneath the adjusting knob.
• You can now begin to use the tool. The compressor will operate automatically cutting in and out as required to restore the air pressure in the tank. The pressure switch (fig.2) stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is reached and restarts it when pressure falls below the minimum threshold – approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the maximum pressure.
  • NOTE:
  • If the motor does not cut in and out but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may be too small for the appliance.
  • The main gauge (fig.2) indicates the pressure inside the main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment, which is shown on the smaller gauge (fig.2). Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-set switch (fig.2) maximum, the pressure relief valve (fig.3) will activate.
  • WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the switch or the safety valve. When the compressor is not being used set the regulated pressure to zero to avoid damaging the pressure regulator.
• To stop the compressor push the Auto-on/Off lever to the upright position (fig.3). When the compressor stops there will be a whistling sound as compressed air is vented from the compressor head. DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains power, or by pulling the plug out, as the pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage may result upon restart. When you have finished using the compressor unplug the unit from the mains power supply.
• Set the outlet pressure on the regulator to zero. Remove the air line and air tool.
• The tank must now be drained. This will release the air left in the tank and drain away condensation that may have formed within the tank.
  Choose a suitable location for this operation and/or make provision to collect the condensation. Wear ear and eye protection. Open the tank drain valve (See fig.4) slowly allowing air and moisture to bleed from the tank. After bleeding close the drain valve to prevent debris from building up in the valve .

WARNING! Water that is allowed to remain in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury drain the tank after each use or daily.

SAFETY FEATURES

Thermal cut-out: If the unit overheats the thermal cut-out will operate and shut the unit down. The thermal cut-out will automatically reset when the unit has cooled down which may take up to 30 minutes.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch off the compressor, disconnect from the electricity supply, and release all air from the tank. To keep the compressor in good working condition, periodical maintenance is essential.

Operations to be carried out daily:

• Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the tank. Place a container under the valve and open the valve by turning anticlockwise. See fig.1.

Operations to be carried out every 100 hours (or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere):

• Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below.
• Check the condition of the air filter. If necessary remove the filter element (fig.6) and clean by blowing through, with an air line at low pressure from the clean side, or wash in soapy water, rinse, and dry. DO NOT operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or dust could seriously damage the pump.

Operations to be carried out every 500 hours:

• Replace the air filter.
• Check all tube fittings and electrical connections. Inspection of pressure tank both inside and out. Under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS REGULATIONS 2000 it is the responsibility of the owner of the compressor to initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency of the inspection and appoints a person who has specific responsibility for carrying out the inspection.

IMPORTANT : Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
