ASSEMBLY
MOVING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
Before moving the compressor, switch off and
disconnect it from the mains power supply.
•
Always use the handle
•
Do not lift by (or put strain on) air taps, valves
or hoses.
•
Take care when moving the compressor to
avoid damaging the valves or fittings.
WARNING.
When the compressor is
used for spraying paint or spraying
cleaning agents the fine mist produced
could ignite. When performing this type
of operation the compressor must be a
minimum of 4 Metres away from the
work area. Do not smoke and keep
naked flames and other sources of
ignition well away from the work area.
OPERATION
DANGER.
Do not disassemble any part
of the compressor with air in tank -
bleed the tank. Failure to depressurize
tank could result in explosion and/or
serious personal injury.
WARNING.
Do not allow familiarity with
products to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING.
Always wear eye protection
with side shields marked to comply with
ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING.
Do not use any attachments
or accessories not recommended by the
manufacturer of this product. The use of
attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING.
Do not attach any tools to
the open end of the hose until start-up
has been completed.
NOTE.
Do not use in an environment that is dusty
or otherwise contaminated. Using the air
compressor in this type of environment may cause
damage to the unit.
NOTE.
The wiring to a receptacle and the length of
any extension cords being used play an important
role in the operation of this product. Wiring
intended for lights cannot properly carry an air
compressor motor, and wire that is heavy enough
for a short distance may be insufficient for a greater
distance.
Before using this product, verify your
receptacle is wired appropriately for air compressor
use and the length and gauge of any extension
cord used is sufficient to carry the current of the air
compressor.
BASIC COMPRESSOR OPERATION
Important Note:
This manual is provided to allow
the correct assembly and basic safe operation of
the compressor. It must be read in conjunction with
the manual that is supplied with any other
accessory intended for use with this compressor.
For more detailed information on the use of
compressors and accessories, we strongly
recommend that you purchase a good quality
publication, in order to allow you to use this product
to its full potential.
The electric motor drives an air pump which draws
in air from the atmosphere and delivers it into the
air receiver tank through the air receiver tank
supply tube. When the air pressure in the air
receiver tank reaches the operating pressure of 10
Bar the pressure switch operates and switches
OFF the mains supply to the motor. At the same
time the air that is in the pump cylinder, air receiver
tank, supply tube and the pressure switch is
discharged. This depressurises the pump and the
pressure regulating system allowing the pump to
re-start when the air pressure in the air receiver
tank falls below the minimum operating pressure of
8 Bar. The pressure switch is fitted with a delayed
discharge valve which will start the air pump motor.
The pressure relief safety valve is set to operate at
10.5 Bar and is connected directly onto the air
receiver tank and will operate if the set pressure of
10.5 Bar is exceeded should the pressure switch
fail.
