Turning on the Compressor
Pressure Relief Valve
Connect the compressor to the mains supply and switch on by
pulling the on/off knob upwards. (see figs A-B). Check that the
compressor pressurises the tank and shuts off when the
maximum tank pressure is reached. The compressor is
automatic in operation; the pressure switch shuts the motor
off when the maximum tank pressure is reached and re-starts
it when the pressure drops below a pre-set level. The cut-in
and cut-out pressures are factory set and should not need to
be altered.
NOTE: It is advisable to fully drain the air from the tank if
the compressor is left unused for a period, this will prevent
the build-up of water in the tank.
Do not use dirty or non detergent oil.
Do not operate compressor in an ambient
temperature above 40˚C.
Do not operate in a badly ventilated area.
Keep the air filter clean.

There are two safety systems on the air compressor, the first is
the pressure switch to turn the compressor on when the tank
pressure is low and switches off automatically when the correct
pressure is reached. If the switch fails to switch off, the second
is the PRV which should blow open to vent the air from the
tank. This prevents the pressure in the tank from reaching
dangerous levels. A PRV that has let go is a signal that you
need to shut down the air compressor immediately and
contact our technical team to resolve the issue.
To test the PRV is working correctly pull the ring towards you, (see fig C-D) this forces the valve to open, venting compressed air
from the tank into the atmosphere. If there is no air in the tank, pulling the PRV ring will not vent air, but it will move the internal
components which is a good thing.
