OPERATION
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) psi.
When disconnecting a hose from the quick release
connector, always firmly hold the fitting end of the
hose.
Push back on the release sleeve on the quick
release connector.
With a firm grip, pull out the quick-connect air
fitting that is attached to the quick release
connector.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Before first use, run the air compressor at zero (0)
tank pressure with the drain valve tap fully open for
30 minutes.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
WARNING.
Switching On & Off must be
done using the On/Off switch mounted
on the compressor. Switching the
compressor Off at the mains supply can damage
the motor and will invalidate the guarantee.
Before switching on the power supply to the
compressor check that the On/Off switch is in the
Off position (non-depressed) (Fig.2).
Check that the pressure regulator is closed (turned
fully anti-clockwise) (Fig.3).
Check that the drain valve tap is closed (Fig.4).
Connect the compressor to a suitable 13A mains
supply. Switch on the compressor by pressing the
On/Off switch to the ON (depressed) position
(Fig.5). 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.
WARNING.
Always ensure the switch is
in the OFF position (non-depressed) and
the pressure gauge reads zero before
changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from
the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
