OPERATION
1. The compressor will automatically stop operating when
reaching 800 kPa (116 PSI) pressure. When air and tank
pressure are reduced to 600 kPa (87 PSI), the compressor
will automatically start again.
2. Most pneumatic machines will use approximately 600 kPa
(87 PSI) operating pressure. However, for some applications
this is a low pressure. To adjust the adequate pressure the
compressor has a reduction valve. This valve can adjust the
air receptor valve, (keeping in mind this will never be a higher
pressure than the one in the oil receptor).
3. Adjusting the reduction valve is done pressing the switch to
adjust the right pressure (to the left, to lower pressure and
to the right, to increase it). The pressure adjustment can be
read in the gauge.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any type of maintenance please turn off the
unit and disconnect from the power outlet.
1. Change oil after the first 50 hours of use and every 500 hours
operation. Remove the oil deposit cap and the oil drain cap.
Collect used oil into a container. Set the oil drain cap and
pour oil into the casing upto the right level through the filling
orifice. Oil change shall be made while the motor is still hot
(but not too hot) to allow oil to drain completely.
The red circle in the oil leveler indicates the right oil level.
Follow the regulation to dispose off used oil.
2. Drain regularly condensation water. The drain valve is in the
low side of the tank. The easiest way to drain is under
pressure. Some compressors have a post-cooler with their
own drain key. These types of units need also to drain
regularly condensation water.
Discard condensation water according to the local standards
(do not pour into the drain).
You can set a water/oil separator as an alternative.
3. Regularly check oil level. To learn about the right oil levels
see point 1. Refill with SAE 5W50 synthetic oil if necessary.
Many accidents can be prevented when verifying oil level on
a daily basis!
Use the same oil the unit uses. Do not mix different types
of oil!
4. The air filter needs frequent cleaning or replacing. The
frequency of this change will depend on how dirty it is.
Should the unit is being used in dirty or dusty environments
change more frequently. To clean, remove the filter and
container. Clean the filter blowing dust away.
The compressor durability and reliability can
increase when taking it to service regularly..
