Proper use

The compressor is designed to generate compressed air for compressed-air driven tools which can be driven with an air volume of up to approx. 110 l/min (e. g. tire inflator, blow-out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to the limited air output it is not possible to use the compressor to drive tools with very high air consumption (for example orbital sanders, die grinders and hammer screwdrivers).

The compressor may only be operated in a dry and well ventilated indoor space.

The machine may only be used in the intended manner. Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator, not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or injuries of any type resulting from this.

Please observe that our equipment was not designed with the intention of use for commercial or industrial purposes. We assume no guarantee if the equipment is used in commercial or industrial applications, or for equivalent work.

• We recommend that you clean the device directly after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can penetrate the device interior.
• The hose and injection tools must be disconnected from the compressor before cleaning. The compressor must not be cleaned with water, solvents or similar.

Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1)

Attention!

To ensure a long service life for the pressure vessel (8), drain off the condensate after each use by opening the drain screw (6).

Release the vessel pressure first (see 10.6.1). Open the drain screw (6) by turning counter-clockwise (when looking at the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that the condensate can be completely drained out of the pressure vessel (8).

Then close the drain screw (6) again (turn it clockwise). Check the pressure vessel (8) for rust and damage each time before use.

Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel (8). If you discover damage, please contact the customer service workshop.

Safety valve (fig. 7)

The safety valve (9) has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel (8). It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve (9) or remove the connection lock (9b) between the exhaust nut (9a) and its cap (9c). Actuate the safety valve (9) every 30 operating hours but at least 3 times a year to ensure that it works when required. Turn the perforated exhaust nut (9a) counterclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut (9a) to open the outlet of the safety valve (9). Now, the valve audibly releases air.

Cleaning the air filter (fig. 8, 9)

The air filter (4) prevents dust and dirt being sucked in. It is essential to clean this air filter (4) after at least every 300 hours in service. A blocked air filter (4) significantly reduces the compressor power.

Turn the air filter (4) counterclockwise to remove it. Open the filter cover (4c) and remove it. You can now take out the filter element (4b). Carefully tap out the filter element (4b), the filter cover (4c) and the filter housing (4a). These components must then be blown out with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) and reassembled in reverse order.
