Thermal protector
All compressors are fitted with a thermal protector. This automatically deactivates the motor in the
event of overloading or overheating to protect the unit against damage.
If overheating or overloading causes the thermal protector to switch off the compressor, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the on/off switch to 0 ("OFF") and allow the unit to cool for approx. 30 minu-
tes.
2. The unit can be switched on again after approx. 30 minutes.
Deactivating the compressor
The unit should be deactivated if the compressor is not used for a longer period of time.
Warning:
The unit should be deactivated if it appears not to be operating (i.e. the motor is not
running). This is the case if the motor has built up the required maximum pressure
and the automatic shut-off switch has been triggered. The motor is in standby mode
and activates immediately again if the pressure drops below a particular value.
Turn the on/off switch to the 0 position ("OFF") to deactivate the unit.
Maintenance work
The following maintenance work should be realised at the recommended intervals to increase the ser-
vice life of your compressor.
Monthly
Carry out visual inspection
Carry out a visual inspection of the unit once a month. Ensure in particular that no connections or
screws have loosened and examine the general condition of air hoses.
Draining water from the moisture trap
Note:
Condensate emerging from the unit should be removed with a suitable medium (e.g.
a cloth).
Condensate water should be drained from the moisture trap daily after use (or more often if necessary).
Push the knob in, holding it depressed until the water has drained
out. After the water has been drained, release the knob. The knob
will close automatically when the compressor is under pressure.
