OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
1. Pull the ON/OFF switch UP to start the
compressor as shown in Fig 4.
• The motor should start immediately, and
run, while the tank (reservoir) is being
pressurised.
2. When starting the compressor for the first
time, and before connecting it to the airline
equipment, leave it running for about 10
minutes to permit a good distribution of
lubricating oil.
• Observe that the compressor stops
automatically when the maximum
pressure of 8 bar is reached. The pressure
is indicated on the tank pressure gauge
shown in Fig 6.
