OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Before using this compressor be sure
to read the instruction manual carefully.
1. ASSEMBLY
Remove the bung (if fitted) from the air inlet on
the cylinder head and screw in the air filter (See
Fig.2).
This is an “oil less” compressor, this means that
lubrication of moving parts is achieved by using
lubricant impregnated materials, there is therefore
no oil reservoir and the compressor can be
mounted in any orientation without the fear of
spilling oil. The only consideration when mounting
is the position of the water drain cock. Warning!
When the compressor is used for spraying paint or
spraying cleaning agents the fine mist produced
could ignite. When performing this type of
operation the compressor must be a minimum of
4 Metres away from the work area. Do not smoke
and keep naked flames and other sources of
ignition well away from the work area.
2. BASIC COMPRESSOR OPERATION
Important Note:
This manual is provided to allow
the correct assembly and basic safe operation of
the compressor. It must be read in conjunction
with the manual that is supplied with any other
accessory intended for use with this compressor.
For more detailed information on the use of
compressors and accessories we strongly
recommend that you purchase a good quality
publication in order to allow you to use this
product to its full potential.
The electric motor drives an air pump which
draws in air from the atmosphere and delivers it
into the air receiver tank through the air receiver
tank supply tube. When the air pressure in the air
receiver tank reaches the operating pressure of 8
Bar the pressure switch operates and switches OFF
the mains supply to the motor.
