4.0 FIRST USE
1
Check if the instructions mentioned above have been executed.
2
Check the oil level of the compressor. The oil level has to be on the red dot on
the inspection glass (8). Possibly oil has been lost during transport. Fill if
necessary with AIRPRESS compressor oil through desaeration motor case/oil
refill cap (11).
3
Check tension on the V-belt. At the right tension the V-belt can easily be turned
by hand aproximately 45 degrees. If necessary improve tension (see chapter
5.0 point 5).
4
Let the compressor run for a short while so you can check if the turning
direction is correct (see arrow on belt protector (3)). If the motor runs in the
wrong direction, switch two phases of the electric plug. Disconnect electricity!
5
For daily operation of the compressor see chapter 5.0.

Check if the pressure switch is turned off. Connect electricity. Turn on the
pressure switch. If the air pressure in the air tank is lower than the `switch on
pressure', the compressor will turn itself on, until maximum pressure has been
reached. Is the pressure in the tank higher than the `switch on pressure' the
machine will not start, but will be stand by to start when the pressure drops too
low.
When switching of the compressor, first switch the pressure switch to "0"
before turning off the electricity. The pressure switch takes the pressure off the
compressed air circuit, so that the compressor can run freely when it starts
again. This prevents damage to the motor.
The electric motor of your compressor is protected against burning by a
thermal overload device. This device turns off the motor automatically, if the
motor should get overloaded, or if one phase should fall out. By pressing the
reset button on the thermal overload device after a short time, the compressor
will function again.
