b.
The motor is protected by a Thermal Overload so that if the motor overheats for any
reason - the thermal overload will trip, stopping the motor. To restart, allow a period for
the motor to cool down, before pressing the Reset Button, shown in Fig.3.
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1.
To shut off the compressor, simply press DOWN on the ON/OFF knob (See
Fig. 2) . Always use this knob to shut down the compressor. NEVER USE THE
MAINS SWITCH TO STOP MOTOR.
2.
Close the air outlet tap and trigger the equipment (spray gun, air tool etc) to
release air from the air hose before disconnecting the hose from the
machine.
3.
Before transporting your compressor or when leaving overnight, expel all air
from the receiver by opening the drain valve (52).
NOTE:
The Rebel 60 incorporates a Regulator/Filter which automatically allows any condensate
to drain off when pressure in the reservoir is completely relieved. Water may also be
drained off when the system is under pressure. The method of operation is shown in Fig 4.
