Compressor Operating Instructions

7
Never work on the compressor circuit without disconnecting the mains plug. Only operate the
compressor with the stipulated mains voltage. Never use cables that are longer than 5 m or
have a diameter of less than 4 mm². Never pull out the mains plug to switch off the
compressor, but rather press the “off” switch (Fig. 2). If the supply line is not long enough, a
longer pressure hose is recommended.
Touching live components can lead to current flowing through the body and thus to
fatal injuries.
Varying device voltage or fluctuations in voltage can lead to operating faults and
reduce the service life of the device.
If the respective drain valve (Fig. 2 1 or 2) does not work once the motor has been switched
off, you should rectify the problem immediately. If this is not done, the motor could be
damaged when the compressor is switched on again. To do this, follow the instructions for
correcting malfunctions in Chapter 8 of this manual.
Failure to observe the safety instructions can result in damage to property and
personal injury.
Before the compressor is restarted with the reset button, check why it is no longer running
(pressure must always remain below 0.8 MPa). See Chapter 8 Troubleshooting if errors occur.

Oil level
The oil level of the compressor oil must be kept in the red indicator circle of the sight glass
(Fig.4 no. 20).
Recommended compressor oil:
SAE30 or L - DAB 100 for temperatures >10 °C
SAE10 or L - DAB 68 for temperatures <10 °C
If the wrong oil is used or the oil level is incorrect, this can damage the compressor
and negatively affect the performance of the unit.
Fill up oil and drain off:
Use a screwdriver to remove the cover of the oil filler opening at the top of the crankshaft
housing. If necessary, top up with compressor oil or oil of the quality specified here.
To get the correct oil level the compressor should be placed on a flat load-bearing
surface with wheels and support feet.
Always use the same type of oil. Never mix different types of oil.
