Whilst running a vehicle in the red zone all the time is great to get you where you need fast!! It dramatically shortens
the life of the vehicle’s engine. The same is said with duty cycles – to obtain the best life and performance out of your
tool or compressor purchase a compressor that suits your application. If you think you’ll be using high air consumption
tools in a continuous manner consider a compressor with a higher FAD rating and/or larger storage tank to reduce the
risk of wearing out or overheating the unit.
Direct Drive compressors:
have the pump joined directly to the motor. This means the pump runs at 2800 RPM with
a short piston stroke. This style of compressor has a duty cycle of 30-40% or is designed to run for short periods of
continuous use – no more than 10mins of continuous pumping.
Belt Drive compressors:
have the pump and motor separated. This allows the pump speed to be reduce to
1030RPM and allows for increased piston stroke, resulting in larger air deliveries compared to the direct drive style.
Due to the slower speeds of the pump the compressor will produce cooler air with less moisture. Belt drive
compressors have increased duty cycles 50-60%.
INPUT PLUG
The compressor is fitted with a
10amp
plug. This machine is designed to work with
10amp
wall sockets. It is
important that the machine is plugged directly into the mains plug.
Avoid using an extension cord with this product. Use additional air hose instead of an extension cord. Using extension
cords will reduce the input voltage (known as voltage drop) and this will void the warranty of your machine.
Any modification to the 10amp plug on this compressor will void warranty
