OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check that the air outlet pressure regulator is
closed (Fig 8).
Check that the water drain cock is closed
(Fig 9).
Connect the compressor to a suitable 13A
mains supply. Switch on the compressor by
pulling up the On/Off switch (Fig 10). The
compressor will now start.
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 11).
When using the regulated air output first
determine the working pressure of the
accessory by referring to the accessory manual.
Slowly open the air outlet pressure regulator
(Fig 12) 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.
When the correct operating air pressure has
been set, the air outlet pressure regulator can be
locked by tightening the locking ring (Fig 13).
