OPERATION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This compressor is fitted with an overload
protection device, In the event that the motor
becomes too hot a thermal protection device will
cut the mains supply to the motor. When the motor
temperature returns to normal, the mains supply
will be restored automatically.
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 (pressed in) (Fig.6).
Check that the air outlet pressure regulator is
closed (Fig 7).
Check that the drain valve is closed (Fig.8).
Connect the compressor to a suitable 16A mains
supply. Switch on the compressor by pulling up the
On/Off switch (Fig.9). 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 (pressed in) 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.
