Cleaning/replacing the air filter
The air filter prevents dust and dirt from being sucked in.
A clogged air filter considerably reduces your compressor’s performance and service life.
Therefore, depending on the degree of soiling, the air filter must be cleaned regularly and
replaced with a new filter if necessary
Proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the air filter by unscrewing it from the air intake opening.
2.
Open the air filter housing and remove the foam filter.
3.
Clean the foam filter. Do not use any cleaning agents for cleaning.
4.
If the foam filter can no longer be cleaned, it must be replaced with an original spare part.
5.
Insert the new or cleaned foam filter into the housing.
6.
Screw the complete air filter back into the corresponding air intake opening.
Never operate the compressor without an air filter insert, as this can damage the
compressor.

Draining condensate
Condensation water collects at the bottom of the boiler. Drain the condensate at least once
a week. To do this, open the drain screw at the bottom of the boiler (Fig. 1 no. 7) until
there is no more water in the air coming out.
The condensation water may only be drained when the boiler is under pressure.
The condensate contains oil residues and must be collected and disposed of according
to regional regulations.
5.6.
Oil replacement
Check the oil level regularly and top up compressor oil if necessary. The optimum oil level can
be read off the sight glass (Fig. 4 no. 13). The optimum oil level is shown by the red marking.
If the red mark is exceeded, there is too much oil in the tank.
An oil level that is too high or too low will cause damage to various compressor parts
and also contaminate the discharge air.
The first oil change should be carried out after 20 operating hours.
All subsequent oil changes should be carried out after 200 operating hours but at the latest
after one year.
How to change the oil:
1.
Let the compressor warm up.
2.
Switch off the compressor by pressing the pressure switch (Fig. 2) downwards.
3.
Disconnect the power supply by pulling the mains plug out of the socket.
