If you encounter problems during operation please check through the
Te Pari Racewell Trouble Shooting Guide on pages 18-21 of this manual before
calling for service .
The compressor
We recommend a 12cfm belt driven compressor, if the compressor is too small the Racewell will
run slowly and may not operate properly .
The compressor does not need to be close to the Racewell in fact having it at some distance
reduces noise levels in the working area . It is important to run compressors in a well ventilated
area as close as possible to a main supply near a switchboard - this avoids the use of leads which
can affect the power input . From time to time the oil level on the dipstick should be checked and
the water drained from the air reservoir .
Please Note: When turning the compressor on or off use the switch on the compressor.
Do not turn on or off at the power source switch.
This applies to all compressors, because air is not discharged, the compressor is being asked to start
under load and this can burn out its capacitor
.
