3. Secure the step bolt with an M10 hex nut.
4. Attach the wheel axle cover to the centre of the wheel.
5. Repeat the above steps to install the other wheel on the right.
6. Ensure the compressor is stable by gently applying lateral force
on it.
INSTALLING AIR FILTERS
See figure 5.
Attach one air filter to each of the cylinder covers. Screw in a clockwise
direction to fasten securely.
OPERATION
DANGER
Do not disassemble check valve, Nitto couplers, tank drain valves
or safety relief valve with air in tank — bleed tank.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection with side shields. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING
Do not attach any tools to the open end of the hose until start-up
has been completed.
CAUTION
Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise
contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of environment
may cause damage to the unit.
TRANSPORTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See figure 6a.
The air compressor should be moved as instructed. This will help
you avoid damaging the wheel or the air compressor by rolling it over
items in its path.
Ensure the air compressor is unplugged and the power cord is
secured from free movement.
To move the air compressor:
1. Grasp the front handle firmly with two hands.
2. Lift the air compressor toward you. Make sure the compressor is
balanced on the wheels.
3. Push the unit along to the desired location.
4. Lower the air compressor until it sits securely on a flat surface.
To transport the air compressor up or down stairs:
See figure 6b.
1. Grasp the front handle and rear handle firmly. Lift the unit into a
safe and comfortable carrying position.
NOTE:
Use good lifting techniques and get help if needed.
2. With proper footing and balance, carry the unit one step at a time.
3. Use care in transporting the unit down or up stairs to avoid
damage to the stairs, damage to unit and personal injury. Pay
extra attention to the drain valve which is under the tank during
transportation, to avoid any damage.
4. Lower the air compressor until it sits securely on a flat surface.
ATTACHING/DISCONNECTING AIR HOSE
See figure 7.
NOTE:
For operation using pressures above 7 bar,
(102 psi) delivery hoses should be fitted with a safety cord, e.g., wire
rope.
1. Make sure the air compressor is off and unplugged.
2. Rotate pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise.
3. Rotate regulator locking ring fully counterclockwise.
4. Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) bar.
5. Attach hose with quick connect air fitting to 6.35 mm (1/4 in.)
quick connect coupler (regulated pressure) on air compressor.
Make sure to push the hose adapter end fully into the coupler
until the sleeve springs forward to lock it in place.
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
1. Rotate pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise.
2. Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) bar.
3. When disconnecting a hose from 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) quick coupler,
always firmly hold release end of hose.
4. Pull back on the release sleeve on the 6.35 mm
(1/4 in.) quick coupler.
5. With a firm grip, pull out the quick connect air fitting that is
attached to the quick coupler.
TURNING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON/OFF
See figure 9.
1. With the air compressor plugged in, pull the power switch to the
AUTO position to power the compressor on.
2. To turn the air compressor off, push the power switch to the OFF
position.
NOTE:
When the compressor is in the AUTO position, the air
compressor will automatically turn on when the designated tank
air pressure drops below the preset pressure limit. It will also shut
off again when the desired pressure is reached.
WARNING
Always turn the compressor AUTO/OFF with the onboard
switch. Do not switch AUTO/OFF at the mains, as this will lead to
overloading. If overloading occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting
section for instructions.
WARNING
Never exceed the air tool’s pressure rating as recommended by
the manufacturer. When using this air compressor as an inflation
device, always follow the maximum inflation guidelines stated by
the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
WARNING
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position and the
regulated pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or
disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See figure 8 - 9.
1. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position and air compressor
is unplugged.
