Before first use
Ensure working environment is suitable for use:
This compressor must be used on a flat, level surface. The maximum safe operating angle in any direc -
tion is 10° degrees (see Fig.5) .
• Do not operate the compressor on inclines in excess of 10° degrees.
• Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be
tipped over.
• Use additional air hose for elevated jobs.
Check power supply is correct for this compressor:
It is essential that the air compressor has an adequate power supply. Always utilize more air hose before
choosing to use an extension lead, as low voltage could cause damage to the motor. (Low voltage dam -
age is not covered under warranty). Read and understand all the electrical safety guidelines laid out in
this manual, follow all applicable local authority safety guidelines.
Operating Instructions
Starting The Compressor
Before starting the compressor check that the Pressure ON/OFF switch is in the “ OFF” position, the regulator tap is closed, the output gauge must read Zero
‘ 0’ bar.
Plug mains lead into mains supply and start the compressor by moving the main switch to the ‘ON’ position.
The pressure switch automatically controls the power to the motor. It also allows for manual operation via the Push/Pull - On/Off switch on top of the pres -
sure switch.
Use the Pressure Switch controls to turn the compressor " ON/OFF". The Pressure Switch is a push/pull switch type. To turn the compressor ‘ON’ pull the
switch knob upwards. To turn the compressor ' OFF’ push the knob downwards.
The pressure switch is factory set to turn the compressor on when the tank pressure drops below 85 psi and turn itself off again when the tank is full.
Note: When starting the compressor for the first time, leave it running with no air tools connected to the air outlet. Make sure that pressure in the tank rises
and that the compressor stops automatically when the maximum pressure is reached - this information is indicated on the data specification plate and shown
on the pressure gauge.
The compressor will now operate automatically. The pressure switch stops the motor when the maximum tank pressure is reached and restarts it when the
pressure falls below the minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the maximum pressure.
Stopping The Compressor
Stop the compressor by moving the main switch to the 'OFF 'position. The compressed air inside the compressor head will flow out, making the restart easier
and preventing the motor from being damaged.
DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains socket, or by pulling the plug out, as the pressure relief will not then
operate and motor damage may result upon restart.
When the compressor runs correctly and is stopped correctly there will be:
(1) a whistle of compressed air when the motor stops,
(2) a protracted whistle (about 20-25 seconds) when the compressor starts with no pressure in the tank.
Regulating The Pressure
The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator. Lift and turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and anticlockwise to reduce it - push knob
down to lock in required position. To determine the correct working pressure for any piece of equipment check the corresponding manual for your tool.
When the compressor is not being used set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure regulator.
WARNING: If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may be too small for the
equipment or tool.
The gauge indicates the pressure inside the main tank, NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment. Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pre-
set switch maximum, a safety valve will activate.
For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the switch or safety valve.
When the compressor is not in use, it should be switched off, disconnected from the mains supply and the air drained from the tank.
Troubleshooting
FAULT CAUSE REMEDY
Tank pressure drops continually. Air leak, check all connections. Locate and rectify leak. Run the compressor at
maximum pressure then switch off and disconnect.
Brush a soapy water solution over the connections
and look for bubbles. Tighten any connections
showing leaks. If problem persists contact your
authorised service agent.
Tank pressure won’t build up. The drain valve is open. Close the tank drain valve.
The compressor won’t switch off.
The safety valve blows off.
Compressor does not stop when maximum
pressure is reached.
Pressure switch fails to stop motor. Faulty pressure
switch.
Contact your authorised service agent.
Tank pressure won’t build up and the pump
is getting hotter than normal, inlet suction is
poor.
The compressor head gasket or valve plate is
faulty.
Fault with the air filter.
Contact your authorised service agent.
Check, clean replace air filter as required.
