SAFETY WARNING

WARNING :
Please read the following instructions carefully. Failure to do so could lead to serious personal injury

IMPORTANT:
Draper Tools recommends that this compressor should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are unsure of it’s relative applications do not hesitate to contact us in writing and we will advise you.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR AIR COMPRESSORS AND TOOLS

1. KNOW YOUR COMPRESSOR
   Before operating the compressor, read and fully understand the starting, operating and stopping sections in this manual. Read all labels affixed to the compressor. Learn it’s applications and limitations

2. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
   Do not service or maintain this compressor until you have read and understood the maintenance section of this manual

3. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
   Before further use of this compressor a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate correctly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other conditions that may effect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

4. DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY
   Before servicing, maintaining or replacing damaged parts ALWAYS disconnect the compressor from the power supply.

5. EARTH
   This compressor is equipped with an approved 3-core power cable. The green and yellow conductor in the core is the earth wire. NEVER connect the yellow and green wire to a live terminals.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS Do not use the compressor is damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Provide adequate surrounding work space. *Not suitable for building sites.

7. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE

8. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING
   Make sure the power supply switch is off before connecting to the power supply.

9. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY AND MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF
   All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area. The power tools and workshop should be made childproof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys

10. NEVER LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR RUNNING UNATTENDED
    Turn the power supply off. Do not leave the compressor until it comes to a complete stop.

11. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE COMPRESSOR
    Before operating any air tool check that the free air delivery (FAD) from the air  compressor is equal or greater than that of the air tool to be used. NOTE: the compressor should not start more than nine times in one hour.

12. AIR PRESSURE
    Always check that the air supply pressure is equal to or less than the air tool
    manufacturers maximum operating pressure.

13. USE SAFETY GOGGLES/MASK
    Wear safety goggles (which comply to a recognized standard) at all times. Normal spectacles only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also use a face mask if a cutting operating is dusty or if spraying paint or other toxic substances.

14. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
    For a complete range of recommended accessories please refer to page 9 of this manual.

POWER SUPPLY

CONNECTING YOUR COMPRESSOR TO THE POWER SUPPLY: (DA100/15BLA ONLY)
A separate electrical socket should be used for your machine. The circuit should not be less that a 13 amp ring main which should be protected by a 30 amp fuse or miniature circuit breaker rated at 30 amps. If an extension cable is used, use only 3-core extension leads with 3-pin sockets which will accept the machine’s plug. For distances up to 100 feet use 16 gauge .064 = 2.5mm wire: for distances up to 150 feet use 14 gauge .080 = 3.0mm wire. A qualified electrician should replace or repair damaged or worn cables immediately.
Before connecting the motor to the power supply, make sure the switch is in ‘OFF’ position and that the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the motor rating plate. All cable connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the motor. See extension lead chart below.

WARNING
Single phase 230 volt machines must be connected using the relevant coding and matching the color of
the flexible cable to that of the plug.
The procedure is as follows:

1. Connect green and yellow cultured core to the plug terminal marked letter ‘E’ earth symbol or cultured green or green and yellow.
2. Connect brown coloured core to plug terminal marked letter ‘L’ (live).
3. Connect blue colour core to plug terminal marked letter ‘N’ (neutral).
   N.B. Three phase machines must be connected by a qualified electrician

NOTE:
FOR COMPRESSORS FITTED WITH A HONDA PETROL ENGINE PLEASE REFER TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

INSTALLATION

After removing the compressor from the packaging, check that it is in perfect condition.

1. Replace the plastic cap on the motor housing with the oil dipstick A (Fig.1.)
   

2. Check the oil level, this is indicated on the dipstick by two notches for minimum and maximum (Fig.2.)
   

3. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that the safety area around the compressor is at least 1 metre. (Fig.3.)
   

OPERATION

1. Connect the compressor to the power supply. Always turn the machine on and off by means of the appropriate switch B Fig.4 located on top of the pressure switch box.
   

2. Check that the reservoir drain valve is closed C Fig.5.
   

3. This compressor is controlled by a pressure switch assembly DFig.6 which automatically cuts off the power supply to the motor when the maximum operating pressure is reached and restarts the compressor when the compressor drops below the pre-set minimum.
   

4. To start the compressor turn the switch to the ON position as shown in Fig.7.
   The pressure switch is pre-set at the factory and the compressor is also fitted with an overload safety relief valve in the event of the pressure switch not functioning correctly
   

5. To stop the compressor turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. Do not switch off at the power supply before switching off at the machine. See Fig.8.
   

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT :
Before performing any maintenance operations, disconnect the compressor from the power supply and release all the air from the receiver until the pressure gauge reads zero

EVERY DAY:
A. Check the oil level and top up if required.
B. Drain the condensate from the receiver. The drain plug FFig.9 is situated on the underside of the receiver tank.

EVERY MONTH:
A. Clean the air suction filter using compressed air. Replace the filter every 500 hours of use.
B. Check the tension of the drive belt and adjust as necessary.
EVERY 500 HOURS:
A. Replace the oil. Remove the drain plug ✰✌ Fig.10 and drain the oil into a suitable container. Refit the drain plug and refill the crank case with new oil to the correct level.

B. Clean all the external surfaces of the pump unit and motor. Ensure that neither the motor fan cowling ✱✌or head cooling fins ✲✌ are blocked or obstructed in any way. See Fig.11.

EVERY 2000 HOURS:
Check the condition of the valves and replace them if they are damaged or worn.

NOTE:
FOR COMPRESSORS FITTED WITH A HONDA PETROL ENGINE PLEASE REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS:
The delivery pressure setting can drift over a period of time and will require periodic adjustment. Ensure that the pressure switch settings are correctly adjusted and maintained at the correct level. This will help prevent faulty occurring which can result in reduced performance and possible failure.
PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS:
To adjust the pressure level at which the cut-out functions, remove the switch cover and turn the pressure regulating screw clockwise to increase the level and anticlockwise to decrease the level. See Fig.12.

To adjust the cut-in pressure turn the cut-in pressure regulating screw clockwise to increase and anticlockwise to decrease the level.

WARNING:
DO NOT ADJUST THE CUT-OUT LEVEL ABOVE THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE AS PER THE MACHINE SPECIFICATION.
