3. Proper use

The compressor is designed for generating compressed air for tools operated by compressed air.

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

4. Technical data

Operating mode S3 – 50% – 10min: S3 = Intermittent mode without influencing the starting process. This means that during a period of 10 min the max. operating time is 50% (5 min).

Noise
The noise emission values were measured in accordance with EN ISO 2151.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

• 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.
• Use flexible hoses in order to prevent transmitting unacceptable loads to the pipeline system at the connection between the compressor system and the pipeline system.
• It is essential to use separators, traps and drains which process the liquids produced by the compressor before the compressor system is put into operation.
• Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

6. Assembly and starting

Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time.

6.1 Fitting the wheels (3)

Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Fig. 6.

6.2 Fitting the supporting feet (4)

Fit the supplied supporting feet (4) as shown in Fig. 7.

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. 9).

6.4 Fitting the air filter (1)

Use a screwdriver to remove the transportation cover from the air filter connection. Screw in the supplied air filter (Fig. 10).

6.5. Power supply

• The motor is fitted with an overload switch (Fig. 3/Item 16). If the compressor overloads, the overload switch switches off the equipment automatically to protect the compressor from overheating. If the overload switch triggers, switch off the compressor using the ON/ OFF switch (8) and wait until the compressor cools down. Then press the overload switch (16) and restart the compressor.
• 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 quick lock 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

7. Replacing the power cable

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.

8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Important!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the appliance.

Important!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!

Important!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.

Important!
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)

Important. 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.

Important!
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. Pull the ring with sufficient force until you can hear the compressed air being released. Then release the ring again.

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. 11).
Changing the oil: Recommended hydraulic oil: SAE 15W/40 or an alternative of the same quality. It should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained and refilled after every 500 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 filler opening until it comes up to the required level. Then replace the oil sealing plug (14).

8.6 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 300 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 fitter in reverse order. When cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).

8.7 Storage

Important!
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 which is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
