Routine Maintenance
Refer to preventative maintenance section for frequency. [Page 4]
Draining the Air Receiver
Drain water condensate from air receiver at a pressure of no more than 2 Bar.
Slowly open the drain tap provided to allow water to flow out.
Close drain tap when all water has drained off.
The drain tap for the HTS5 is situated on the underside of the case.
Draining the Filter/Regulator Unit
(where fitted)
Slowly open the drain screw provided to allow water to flow out.
Close drain screw when all water has drained off.
Note !
Waste water condensate must be handled in accordance with national environmental rules.
Check Pressure Relief Valve
Ensure the air receiver is not pressurised.
Unscrew the knurled end of the pressure relief valve until an audible “click” is heard.
Retighten without using excessive force.
The pressure relief valve on the HTS5 can be accessed by removing the case.
Note !
Isolate power supply before removing case.
Technical
We recommend the compressor has a maximum 50% duty cycle to prolong pump life.
Note !
The motor must never be allowed to run continuously otherwise it will overheat and
may become damaged.
Do not ignore air leaks. All air connections must be leak free to prevent the
compressor from over heating.
The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload. In the event of excessive
temperature, the motor will switch off. After about 50 minutes when the motor has
cooled it will automatically reset.
You must find the cause of the overload and rectify this before continuing to use the
compressor.
Check for -
•
Drain tap not closed properly
•
Air leaks on the pneumatic fittings
•
Compressor not the correct size for the work load
•
Cooling fan cover vent restricted
If problems persist contact your dealer.
