WARNING!

 Ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.

5.1.  

Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally express the volume of air required to    

 

operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the compressor (‘air out’) which varies according to the  

 

pressure setting. Do not confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air taken in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is  

 

always less than ‘air in’ - due to losses within the compressor.

5.2. 

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR.

5.2.1.  The compressor is fitted with a push/pull type of ON/OFF switch (fig.2.1). 

 

To turn the compressor ‘ON’ pull the switch knob upwards. To turn the    

 

 

 

compressor ‘OFF’ push the switch knob downwards.

5.2.2.  

 

Ensure that the regular cap (fig.2.3) is turned fully anticlockwise and

 

no tool is connected to the quick release coupling (fig.2.6). 

5.2.3.  Connect to the electrical supply and start the compressor by pulling 

 

the ON/OFF switch knob upwards.

5.2.4. Leave the compressor running. Make sure that the pressure in the tank 

 rises 

 

and that the compressor stops automatically when the maximum 

 

pressure value allowed - written on the specification plate and shown 

 

on the gauge (fig.2.4) - is achieved. The compressor will now operate 

 

automatically. The pressure switch (fig.2.2) stops the motor when the

 

maximum tank pressure is reached, and will restart it when pressure

 

falls below the minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the

 

maximum pressure.

5.2.5.  Stop the compressor by pushing the switch knob downwards. 

 

The air inside the cylinder heads will vent, making the restart easier and

 

preventing the motor from being damaged. 

 

DO NOT

, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching 

 

off the electrical supply, or by pulling the plug out of the socket, as the    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage may result upon 

 restart.

 

When the compressor runs correctly and is stopped correctly there will be a hiss of compressed air when the motor stops. This is caused  

 

by pressure switch venting the cylinder heads to allow a soft start the next time that the unit runs.

5.2.6.  The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator cap (fig.2.3). Turn the cap clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to  

 

 reduce it. The output pressure is shown on smaller gauge (fig.2.5)  The cap can be locked at any required setting by tightening the    

 

locking ring (fig.2.3a) up against the underside of the tap. To determine the correct working pressure for any piece of equipment check the  

 

corresponding manual. When the compressor is not  being used, set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure  

 regulator.
5.2.7

  NOTE: If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor  

 

may be too small for the equipment or tool.

 

The larger gauge (fig.2.4) indicates the pressure inside the main tank. The smaller gauge (fig.2.5) indicates the pressure supplied to    

 

the air equipment. Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pressure switch maximum, the safety valve to the rear of the  

 

 

pressure switch (fig.2.7) will activate. 

 

WARNING! 

For this reason

 DO NOT

 tamper with, or adjust, the pressure switch or safety valve. 

5.2.8.  The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload trip. If the unit stops, switch it off and wait for the motor to cool down before restarting.

 

If this happens frequently, it suggests that the compressor is not powerful enough for the duty required.

6.1.

 

Drain condensate from the tank on a daily basis.

6.1.1.  Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply and turn the drain tap (fig.3) in an

 

anticlockwise direction.

6.1.2.  When the air flow is free from condensate, re-tighten the tap. 

6.2. 

To clean: rub over with a damp, soapy cloth. 

DO NOT 

use abrasive or solvent cleaners,

6.3. 

When not in disconnect from the electrical supply, drain the tank and store in a cool, dry,

 

childproof location.
