4. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Removing Condensation Water
• Check the tank for signs of rust and damage each time before
using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty tank.
Note:
This air compressor is designed to operate without oil.
Cleaning
• Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed
air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after you
use it.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap.
Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to
the plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the appliance.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the
compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compressor with
water, solvents or the like.
WARNING!
ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
WARNING!
WAIT UNTIL THE COMPRESSOR HAS
COMPLETELY COOLED DOWN. RISK OF BURNS!
WARNING!
ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE THE TANK BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WORK.
The drain plug can be opened
rotating anti-clockwise by hand.
Tilt the pressure tank so that the
drain valve is the lowest point of
the tank and the condensed water
can drain off completely .
The condensation water must be drained off after each use by opening
the drain valve, at the bottom of the tank.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1 Remove the air filter from
the compressor by rotating
it anti-clockwise.
3 Open the filter and
carefully clean by tapping
or blowing it with low
pressure compressed air
(approx. 3 bar).
4 Reassemble the filter and then fit to the air compressor.
The air filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to
clean this filter after at least every 300 hours of service. A clogged air
filter will decrease the compressor’s performance dramatically.
2 Remove the screw at the top of
the filter.
