OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the air receiver tank is pressurised to its
working capacity the compressor will
automatically switch off. When the compressor
switches off there will be the sound of leaking
air while the pressure regulating system is
depressurised, this will last for only a few
seconds and is quite normal. Check all valves
and regulators for leaks. Note during extended
periods of use the air receiver tank supply tube
will become hot.
Connecting Hoses & Accessories
Warning!
Do not operate accessories at an air
pressure greater than the maximum rated air
pressure for the accessory.
Connect a hose to the compressor using the
hose to compressor quick release connector
(Fig.5).
When using the regulated air output first
determine the working pressure of the
accessory by referring to the accessory manual.
Slowly open the pressure regulator (Fig.6) at the
same time observing the air outlet pressure
gauge until the pressure gauge reads the
minimum pressure for the accessory.
Fine adjustments to the air pressure can be
made until the accessory is working at its
optimum performance.
Do not exceed the maximum rated air pressure
for the accessory.
To disconnect a hose push the hose connector
towards the compressor and at the same time
pull back the brass collar, this will allow the hose
to be removed.
Always wait at least 10 seconds from when the
compressor has been switched off before
restarting.
Safety Valve
Check the operation of the safety valve, under
pressure, daily by pulling the ring as shown in
Fig.7. Air should be released you pull the ring
and stop when the ring is released.
•
If the valve does not operate as described, or
if the valve is stuck, it must be replaced by
qualified service personnel before using the
compressor.
Warning!
Do not remove or attempt to adjust
the safety valve.
Draining the Reservoir
Caution!
It is important to drain the reservoir
before storage.
Switch the air compressor off, by pressing the
On/Off button to the (non-depressed) position,
and remove the plug from the mains supply.
