Organisational measures and security
- Do not leave the running compressor unattended at any time.
- Repair works are only to be carried out by the manufacturer.
- Do not touch the compressor during or shortly after use as it can get very hot.
- Do not run the compressor for any longer than 15 minutes in a row (risk of overheating!).
- The compressor may only be run with a 30 A fuse! Any higher or lower amperage is not permitted.
If you use more than one compressor, you must make sure that every compressor is equipped with
its own fuse.
- Do always keep the engine of the vehicle on while the compressor is in use. That way, the
compressor is ready for use faster and prevents discharge of the vehicle‘s battery.
- The compressor may only be used with an operational and fully loaded battery. The coil of the
compressor might otherwise be damaged by the high starting current (if the voltage is too low).
- The compressor should be evenly and securely fastened.
- The compressor should be located as close to the battery as possble.
- The compressor mustn‘t get in contact with either sources of heat or liquids during operation and
storage.
Installation instructions
The installation of the compressor must be carried out by a specialist.
The following instructions must be adhered to before installation:
1. Disconnect the earth cable from the vehicle‘s battery.
2. Select a suitable location for a secure positioning and fastening of the compressor.
3. Connect the red voltage supply cable with the (+) pole of a voltage source.
4. Re-connect the earth cable with the vehicle‘s battery.
5. Turn the compressor on and check the correct function.
6. Check all air ducts for tighntness.
Information: Make sure that you use the correct wire size when extending the electric line.
Start-up
The compressor switches automatically on and builds up a pressure of approx. 8 bar. When the pres
-
sure has reached 8 bar, the compressor switches off automatically. If the pressure is reduced by about
2 bar, the compressor switches itself on again and compensates the loss of pressure. This results in a
work range of approx. 6 to 8 bar.
Please note the maximum duty cycle (15 min) and observe it. Take longer breaks for cooldown if
necessary.
It is recommended to keep the vehicle‘s engine running as long as the compressor is in use (always
make sure there is sufficient ventilation).
Maintenance
Warning:
It is urgently necessary that you disconnect the power supply and make sure that there
is no pressure left inside the compressor before starting any maintenance work or fault
clearance.
- The suction filter must be cleaned after 100 operating hours at the latest. If used in dirty
environment, the above mentioned period of time decreases accordingly.
