Caution: Use separate compressed air hoses
for air containing oil with a length ≤ 10 m.
Observe the Instruction Manual for "Com-
pressed air tools"!
2.5 Operation
Observe the safety instructions!
2.5.1 Use
1. Check the fuel and oil level in the petrol
engine.
2. Depressurise the vessel.
3. Connect the compressed air hose to the
quick-action coupling of the compressor.
It is locked automatically.
4. Connect the consumer.
5. Start the petrol engine to start up the
compressor (see petrol engine instruc-
tion manual).
The compressor fills the vessel and then
switches to idle mode: the compressor is
ready for use.
2.5.2 Adjusting the working
pressure
1. Pull up the adjustment button on the (fil-
ter) pressure reducer (Figure 4a).
2. Rotate clockwise = pressure is in-
creased. Rotate anticlockwise = pressure
is reduced.
3. Read the set working pressure on the
pressure gauge (item 12).
4. Press the adjustment button down to
lock it in place.
Observe the specifications for compressed
air tools/units.
2.5.3 After use
1. Switch off the petrol engine (see petrol
engine instruction manual) and allow the
compressor to cool.
2. Disconnect the plug nipple of the com-
pressed air hose from the quick-action
coupling.
3. Clean the compressor if necessary (see
Chap. 2.6.2).
4. Depressurise the compressor (see Chap.
2.6.1).
5. Transport the compressor to the storage
location (see Chap. 2.4.1).
