Routine Maintenance
Draining the Air Receiver
Drain 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 – see figs 7 & 8.
Close drain tap when all water has drained off.
Do not overtighten, this will damage the tap seal.
Automatic drains where fitted do not require draining, however the drain bottle will
require emptying.
Draining the Filter/Regulator Unit
Slowly open the drain screw provided to allow water to flow out – see fig 5.
Close the drain screw when all water has drained off.
Note !
The waste 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
– see fig 6.
Technical
The compressor has a maximum 50% duty cycle. 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.
Note !
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
