EVERY DAY:
A. Check the oil level and top up if required.
B. Drain the condensate from the receiver. The
drain plug

Fig.9 is situated on the
underside of the receiver tank.
EVERY MONTH:
A. Clean the air suction filter using compressed
air. Replace the filter every 500 hours of use.
B. Check the tension of the drive belt and adjust

EVERY 2000 HOURS:
Check the condition of the valves and replace
them if they are damaged or worn.
PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS:
The delivery pressure setting can drift over a
period of time and will require periodic
adjustment. Ensure that the pressure switch
settings are correctly adjusted and maintained at
the correct level. This will help prevent faulty
occurring which can result in reduced
performance and possible failure.
PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS:
To adjust the pressure level at which the cut-out
functions, remove the switch cover and turn the
pressure regulating screw clockwise to increase
the level and anticlockwise to decrease the level.
See Fig.12.
To adjust the cut-in pressure turn the cut-in
pressure regulating screw clockwise to increase
and anticlockwise to decrease the level.
WARNING:
DO NOT ADJUST THE CUT-OUT LEVEL ABOVE
THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE AS PER THE
MACHINE SPECIFICATION.
