Operating and instruction manual
NOTE
: If the motor does not start immediately, it is possible that the air receiver is already full of air.
The motor will start automatically once the cut-in pressure is reached.
3.
Connect one end of the correct air hose to the connector at the air outlet (D, Fig. 2) and
the other end to the nozzle/accessory being used
4.
Set the outlet pressure with the pressure regulator (B, Fig. 2) by turning it clockwise to
increase pressure and anti-clockwise to decrease pressure. Check the pressure reached on
the manometer (C, Fig. 2).
NOTE
: Max pressure allowed is 50 psi (6 bar) unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer’s
instructions. However, you may need to set the operating pressure at a higher or lower level for other
airline equipment (e.g. tyre gauges, staple guns, paraffin guns etc.).
5.
The pressure switch placed inside the silent cover should not require adjustment. This is
an automatic device and has been preset at the factory to stop the motor when pressure in the
receiver reaches its maximum, and to start it again when the pressure in the receiver falls to
the minimum preset value. This operation is completely automatic and does not affect the
compressing process. However, should problems develop with the cut-in, cut-out settings,
please consult your MGF dealer.
NOTES
:
a. If the machine pumps continuously without cutting out then the compressor is too small
for the application/tool being used, and damage may result. Consult your MGF dealer.
b. The motor is protected by a Thermal Overload which will trip and stop the motor should
it overheat for any reason. Let the motor cool down for 15 – 20 min before restarting.
c. Do not exceed the Duty Cycle for the machine
:
for a best performance do not exceed
the 50% of duty cycle (50% of duty cycle: for ex. 50sec ON – 50 sec OFF)
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch (A, see Fig. 2) to the ‘OFF’ position to switch the compressor off.
2. Release air from the air hose and pipe before disconnecting the hose from the machine by
releasing the air from the connected pipe.
3. Make sure all air is expelled from the receiver before transporting your compressor or leaving
overnight.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT switch the compressor ON or OFF by the mains. ALWAYS switch the
compressor ON or OFF by the pressure switch ONLY.
MAINTENANCE
EVERY 6 MONTHS
