SWITCHING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON
1. To start the compressor, turn the
ON/OFF switch to the ‘I’ (ON)
position - the motor should start
immediately.
NOTE: If the motor fails to start
immediately, the air receiver
may already be full of air.
Check the tank pressure
gauge (shown on the right).
If you release air, by opening
the air outlet tap, the motor
will start automatically once
the cut-in pressure is
reached.
2. Allow the compressor to run for 10
- 15 seconds, with the air outlet
tap, (A) open.
• This will distribute the lubricating
oil.
3. Close the outlet tap and connect
a suitable air hose to the filter/
regulator outlet (B). Connect the
other end to the equipment to be
used.
4. Check the safety valve by pulling
on the ring shown, air should hiss
out when pulled.
