SET UP

PREPERATION FOR STARTING

1. Check all nuts and bolts. Make sure parts are tightened before

starting.

2. Before running the compressor remove the white plug and

connect the red bung in it’s place.

3. Screw the air lter in before starting the compressor.

4. Place the compressor in a clean, dry and ventilated area.

5. Keep voltage within ±4% of the rated value.

6. Keep the oil level in the red circle of the oil glass sight window.

You can purchase compressor oil from our website.

7. Open the outlet valve, set the power switch knob to the ON

position and let the compressor run for 10 minutes with no load

to ensure the moving parts are lubricated before regular service.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

OPERATION

The compressor is controlled by a pressure switch. It can be stopped

automatically as the pressure increases to the maximum and restarted

as pressure decreases to the minimum. The rated pressure has been

adjusted during the manufacturing process - alter this pressure with

caution. As soon as the motor is switched off the compressed air inthe

discharge pipe should be released through the release valve under the

switch. This is a necessary condition before restarting, or the motor

will be damaged. The rated pressure can be altered by turning the

adjusting screw.

The outlet pressure of compressed air can be adjusted by the regulating

valve. Grip the regulating valve knob and turn it clockwise to increase

the pressure.

PRESSURE GUAGES

There are two pressure gauges on the compressor.

1. The pressure gauge on the RIGHT shows the current pressure

in the reservoir tank.

2. The pressure gauge on the LEFT shows the ‘user set’ outlet

pressure. This can be adjusted using the regulator.

Glass sight window Regulating valve

When the running compressor

needs to be stopped set the

pressure switch to the OFF

position.

Bleed nipple

Always vent the compressor

after each use by turning

the regulator knob fully

anticlockwise.

Once the compressor is vented, remove any condensation from

inside the tank by inscrewing the bleed nipple.

THERMAL RESET SWITCH

There may be instances when your compressor will overheat. If it cuts

out, this is the safety feature to protect you and your compressor. Leave

the compressor a good while before you reset it. If the compressor

turns off again on reset you should not keep running it as it may be

damaged and the system may be unsafe.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAINTENANCE

• Never unscrew any connecting parts while the tank is

still under pressure.

• Never disassemble any electrical parts before

disconneting the electrical plug.

• Always use caution when adjusting the safety valve.

• Never use the compressor when the volatage is too low

or too high.

• Never use electrical cable more than 5m long with less

than a 1.5 mm section rated to 16A.

• Never disconnect the plug to stop the compressor, turn

the switch to the OFF position.

• If the release valve does not work when the motor is

 stoppedndthecauseimmediatelytopreventdamageto

the motor.

• Before restarting the motor by pressing the RESET

button check the air compressor for problems and check

the pressure in the air tank to ensure it is under 0.8Mpa.

• Disconnect the plug to cut off the power supply and open

the outlet valve and discharge all the air in the air tank

after use.

1. Before any maintenance operation stop the air compressor,

cut off the power supply and discharge all the air in the tank.

2. Clean the crank case and renew lubricating oil after the

rst10 working hours. Check the oil through the oil level

sightglass after every 20 working hours and replenish if

necessary; you can replenish by inbolting the sump bolt, and

srain off any old oil.

3. Have the safety valve and pressure gauge checked by a

certied repair centre every 6 months to ensure they are in

correct working condition.

4. Make sure there is no rust on the air tank and the air tank is

not damaged.

5. Have the thickness of the air tank checked by a certied

repair centre every year to ensure the tank thinkness is not

less than 2.1mm.
