OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
1. We recommend that you clean the appliance
immediately after you use it.
2. Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as
much as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth.
3. Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the appliance. Ensure that no water can get
into the interior of the appliance.
4. You must disconnect the hose and any spraying
tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not
clean the compressor with water, solvents or the
like.
Storage
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the
appliance and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch
off the compressor and make sure that it is secured in
such a way that it cannot be started up again by any
unauthorised person.
Store the compressor only in a dry location which is
not accessible to unauthorised persons.
Supply Cords
If replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by a certified electrician in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
Note:
XU1 will not be responsible for any damage
or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an
unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.

WARNING!
Ensure the tool is turned off
and disconnected from the power supply
before performing any of the following
operations.
Adjusting The Output Pressure
The output pressure of the regulated pressure outlet
can be adjusted to suit the air tool connected and the
task at hand.
1. To do so, first decrease the pressure to 0psi by
turning the pressure regulator anti-clockwise.
2. Then turn the pressure regulator clockwise until
the desired pressure is shown on the regulated
pressure gauge.
FIG. D
WARNING!
Do not attempt to adjust/
modify the safety valve in any way.
The Safety valve installed on this air
compressor is designed to automatically
release pressure in case of excess
pressure build up in the tank.
Starting Up The Compressor
For best practice, the compressor should be run
without any load for 20 minutes before first use to
lubricate the bearings and piston. This procedure
should also be performed if the compressor has been
stored for 6 months or more without operation.
1. Disconnect all air hoses from the outlets and open
the drain valve fully with a spanner to prevent
pressurised air buildup in the tank.
2. Make sure the power switch is in the off position.
Plug the power supply cord into a mains outlet.
3. Switch the compressor on and allow it to run for 20
minutes without any loads/tools attached and allow
any liquid to drain from the tank.
4. Turn off the compressor and close the drain valve.
The compressor is now ready for use.
5. Attach the desired tool to one end of an air hose and
the air hose to an outlet depending on the tool or
application.
6. Turn the compressor back on and adjust the
regulated pressure to the desired level once the
pump has shut off and the compressor has reached
cut-off pressure (8bar).
Shutting Down The Compressor
Do not turn the air compressor off by unplugging it
from the mains power as it may result in damage to
the motor.
1. Turn the compressor off with the on/off switch and
then unplug the cord.
2. Attach a blow gun to the compressor and use it to
discharge any remaining air in the compressor tank.
3. Rotate the pressure regulator anti-clockwise until it
is fully closed; check the regulated pressure gauge
to ensure that it reads 0psi.
4. Also turn on the air tool to discharge any remaining
pressurised air in the air hose.
5. Remove the air hose and any other connected
accessories.
WARNING!
Release all air pressure
from the tank before opening the Drain
Valve. Take care when discharging air
through the drain Valve or air Outlets. The
discharged air can cause dust, stones,
or any other foreign particles to be blown
through the air at high pressure.
6. When no more air is released, open the drain valve
to release any accumulated liquid from the tank.
7. Close the drain valve, allow the compressor to cool
down, then clean and store the unit.
