Compressor Operating Instructions

During operation, the compressor surfaces can become particularly hot. Avoid
touching these components. To prevent fires, these surfaces must stay uncovered
and must be cleaned immediately of dust and deposits. Before any maintenance work
is carried out and before it is stored, the compressor should be completely cooled
down.
Carefully release the hose coupling. When you release the hose coupling, hold the coupling
piece of the hose firmly with your hand to avoid injuries due to the hose springing back.
4.3.
Operating a pressure tank
Anyone operating a pressure tank must maintain it in a proper condition, operate it properly,
monitor it, carry out necessary maintenance and repair work without delay and take the safety
measures that are needed under the circumstances.
In individual cases, the competent supervisory authority may order the necessary monitoring
measures.
A pressure tank may not be operated if it has defects that endanger employees or third
parties.
The pressure tank must be checked regularly for damage, e.g. rust. If you discover any
damage, contact your specialist dealer immediately.
4.4.
Operation at cold temperatures
At low temperatures, the oil in the crankcase becomes thick and viscous, which can lead to
start-up problems.
If necessary, do the following when operating your compressor in the colder seasons:
1.
Let the pressure in the boiler run down to zero.
2.
Open the water drain screw at the bottom of the boiler (Fig. 2 no.7).
3.
Switch on the compressor by pulling up the on/off switch (Fig. 2).
4.
Let the compressor run for 2-3 minutes with the water drain screw open. During this time
the unit heats up.
5.
After the warm-up time has elapsed, close the water drain screw again.
6.
Now the boiler can fill or build up pressure.
If the compressor still does not start, place it in a temperature-controlled room for
about ½-1 hour so that it can warm up.
4.5.
Operating the equipment
Press the plug nipple of the compressed air hose into the respective quick coupling of the
compressor. It locks automatically. To remove the compressed air hose, push the outer
coupling ring on the quick coupling towards the pressure reducer.
When opening the quick coupling, prevent the compressed air hose from springing back
uncontrollably by holding it firmly.
