4.4.
Confirm that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage shown on the compressor data plate.
4.5.
Position the compressor on a flat surface or with a maximum permissible inclination of 10° (fig.2). Site in a well ventilated area,
protected against atmospheric pollution and not in a place subject to explosion hazard. If the surface is inclined and smooth,
check if the compressor moves whilst in operation – if it does, secure the wheels with two wedges. If the surface is in a raised position,
make sure it cannot fall, securing it in a suitable way.
4.6.
To ensure good ventilation and efficient cooling, the compressor’s belt guard must be at least 100cm from any wall (fig.3).
Compressors with fixed feet, should not be rigidly secured to the floor. In this case, it is advised to fit 4 anti-vibration supports
(optional extra).
4.7.
Take care to transport the compressor correctly,
DO NOT
overturn it or lift it with hooks or ropes.
4.8.
Remove the plastic transit plug from the oil filler hole (fig.4) and replace it with the filler/breather plug. It is a push fit, ensure that it is
pushed fully home.
4.9.
Before using the compressor, check the oil level by observing the sight glass as shown in fig.4. If the oil is not up to the max mark it
should be topped up with synthetic oil suitable for temperatures ranging from -5°C to 45°C (viscosity 5W50). We
DO NOT
recommend
using mineral oil in these compressors.
DO NOT
overfill.
5. OPERATION
WARNING!
Ensure that you have read, understood and apply
Section 1 safety instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Use of extension leads to connect these
compressors to the mains is not recommended as the
resulting voltage drop reduces motor and therefore pump
performance, and could damage the compressor.
NOTE:
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
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.
5.1.
STARTING / STOPPING THE COMPRESSOR
5.1.1.
To turn the compressor on use the switch on the top of the
pressure switch housing (fig. 5). Lift the switch up to start the
compressor and push in to stop it.
5.1.2.
Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the On position. On
Models SAC15030B and SAC20030B the regulator tap (fig.5) should be closed and the output gauge (fig.5) must read Zero ‘0’ bar.
5.1.3.
Plug into mains supply and st
art the compressor by lifting up the On/Off.
5.1.4.
When starting the compressor for the first time, leave it running with no air tools connected to the air outlet. Make sure that pressure in
