SAFETY VALVE
Pic. 8
NOTE: When checking the safety valve ALWAYS wear safety
glasses.
To check the operation of the safety valve the air tank will
need to be full. Gently pull the ring outwards. This should
release air under pressure. Release the ring and this should
stop the air out fl ow once the pressure has dropped.
If the safety valve does NOT work in this manner, STOP the
compressor immediately and have the compressor checked /
serviced by an authorised service centre.
ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE
To adjust the outlet air pressure, use the
red coloured
regulator knob and check the pressure on the outlet pressure
gauge, Pic. 7.
If the pressure needs to be lower,
turn anti clockwise.
If the pressure needs to be higher, turn clockwise.
Use the gauge to ensure you set the correct working pressure.
Note: Different air tools require different operating pressures.
Always check with the tool manufacturer if unsure.
