Assembly/Operation
Operation
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the
action of the pressure switch located under the
pressure switch cover.
When the set maximum pressure is reached
the pressure switch activates and the motor is
turned off. The pressure will decrease as the
air is used until the set minimum is reached
after which the pressure switch turns the motor
to on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well
aware that during use of the compressor the
motor will cycle (start and stop) under the
influence of the rising or falling pressure in the
tank and the motor will start without any
warning.
The maximum and minimum pressures are
factory set and should not be altered.
You can utilise either the direct outlet and/or
the regulated outlet. The pressure of the
regulated outlet can be changed by turning the
control knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase pressure and anti-clockwise to
decrease.
Adjusting the pressure
To switch on the compressor, pull out the knob
(8).To switch off the compressor, press the
knob (8) back in. (Figure 2)

3. Initial start up
- Ensure the unit is stable in a well-ventilated
dry position.
- Ensure that drain the valve is closed and
air outlets are closed.
Connect the power lead to the mains.
- Start the compressor by pulling on the red
knob.
- Check for air leaks.
Warning:
Use the red knob to turn the unit
on and off, not the mains switch. Turning the
unit on and off from the mains only will result
in damage to the motor.
3.1 Power supply
●
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, motor start-up is jeopardized as a
result of stiffness.
3.2 ON/OFF Switch
To switch on the compressor, pull out the
knob (8).To switch off the compressor, press
the knob (8) back in. (Figure 2)
