Operating Instructions
08
The outlet air pressure can be regulated by rotating the
regulator knob clockwise to increase the pressure and
anticlockwise to reduce it. Do not leave the regulator
set at maximum setting unnecessarily; reduce the
setting by about two turns after finishing and then
re-set to the required pressure when starting work
again.
Connect the compressor to the mains supply and
switch on by pulling the on/off knob upwards. (See figs
3-4) Check that the compressor pressurises the tank
and shuts off when the maximum tank pressure is
reached.
The compressor is automatic in operation; the pressure
switch shuts the motor off when the maximum tank
pressure is reached and re-starts it when the pressure
drops below a pre-set level. The cut-in and cut-out
pressures are factory set and should not need to be
altered.
NOTE: It is advisable to fully drain the air from the
tank if the compressor is left unused overnight, this
will prevent the build-up of water in the tank.
Do not use dirty or non detergent oil.
Do not operate compressor in an ambient
temperature above 40˚C.
Do not operate in a badly ventilated area.
Keep the air filter clean.
