FIG. 1
It is extremely important to install the compressor
in a clean, well ventilated area where the
surrounding air temperature will not be more than
40ºC. A minimum clearance of 500mm between
the compressor and a wall is required.
Fitting the air filter:
Remove the transit bung from the top of the head
and screw the air filter

into the filter
connection.
In addition to pneumatic air tools, your compressor
may be connected to several accessories suitable
for blowing, washing and spraying. For technical
specifications and detailed instructions, please
refer to the instructions provided for the individual
accessory.
When the installation procedure is complete, the
compressor is ready for use. Make sure the
pressure switch button

is positioned “OFF”.
Switch the pressure switch button to the “ON”
position to start the compressor.
