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.

If you fail to observe this time limit the motor will overheat. During the OFF period, the motor will cool again to its starting temperature.
Noise
The noise emission values were measured in accordance with EN ISO 2151.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate is 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 airlines 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 so that 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 that 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).

Assembly and starting

Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the fi rst time.
You will require the following tools for assembly and installation:

• 1x hex wrench 13 mm
• 1x hex wrench 16 mm

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 Fitting the transport handle (9)
Screw the transport handle (9) to the compressor
as shown in Figures 7 to 8.
6.4. Replacing the oil sealing plug (14)
Remove the transportation cover from the oil fi ller opening with a screwdriver and insert the supplied oil sealing plug (14) into the oil fi ller opening (Fig. 9/11).
6.5 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. 10).
6.6. 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, the motor start-up is jeopardized as a result of stiffness.

6.7 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)
6.8 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).

6.9 Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is set at the factory.
Switch-on pressure 7,5 bar
Switch-off pressure 10 bar

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.

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 suffi cient 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 MAX and MIN marks on the oil sealing plug (Fig. 11).
Oil change:
We recommend SAE 5W/40 or an alternative of the same quality.
It should be refi led for the fi rst time after 100 hours of operation.
Thereafter the oil should be drained and refi led 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 fi ller opening (27) 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 from being drawn in. It is essential to clean this fi lter after at least every 300 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
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 that is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
8.8 Ordering replacement parts:**
Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
• Replacement part number of the part required For our latest prices and information please go to www.isc-gmbh.info
