NOW TURN THE COMPRESSOR OFF, by moving
the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

Confirm that the tool’s air valve is in the closed
position, then connect the delivery hose to the
tool

in the same way as to the compressor.

All that now remains is to 

check that all air taps are

turned OFF and to start the compressor.

Check the oil level before starting and every 8
hours thereafter. 

Withdraw the dip stick, wipe it clean,

then replace it. Remove it a second time to verify that the
oil level is between the MIN and MAX lines. Top up
if necessary.

The compressor will run happily provided there is
sufficient fuel, the engine doesn’t overheat and
the engine oil level is correct.

If the engine stops, check to see if the overheat/oil
pressure lamp is illuminated. 

Firstly, check the oil level

and top up as necessary. If the oil is found to be correct,
the engine may have overheated, in which case STOP
and contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.

If the warning lamp is not illuminated, you have
run out of fuel, 

re-fill the fuel tank with diesel. 

It is

advisable to regularly check the fuel level and top
up as necessary.

Even if you are only stopping work for a short
break, shut down the compressor completely.

Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. 

If it will not do what you want with reasonable

ease, assume you have the wrong equipment for the
job. Ask at your local HSS Hire Shop for advice. 

Keep the equipment clean. 

You will find this less of a

chore if you clean up regularly, rather than wait unit the
end of the hire period.

When not in use, 

store the equipment somewhere

clean, dry and safe

from thieves.

Handle the equipment with care. 

In particular, avoid

knocking the air taps, hose connections and hoses.

EQUIPMENT CARE

Switch OFF the compressor, close all air taps 

and

operate the equipment fed by the compressor to 

release

the pressure in the hoses. 

If you have finished with the equipment
completely, 

you should now 

clean up the

compressor, disconnect the air hoses and tools
then coil them 

neatly ready for return to your local HSS

Hire Shop.
