Operating Instructions...
The outlet air pressure can be regulated by rotating the regulator knob clockwise to
increase the pressure and anticlockwise to reduce it. Do not leave the regulator set at
maximum setting unnecessarily; reduce the setting by about two turns after finishing and
then re-set to the required pressure when starting work again.
Connect the compressor to the mains supply and switch on by pulling the on/off knob
upwards. The first time you start up the compressor leave it running for about 10 minutes
with the delivery cock fully open. After that, close the cock and check that the compressor
pressurises the tank and shuts off when the maximum tank pressure is reached.
The compressor is automatic in operation; the pressure switch shuts the motor off when the
maximum tank pressure is reached and re-starts it when the pressure drops below a pre-set
level. The cut-in and cut-out pressures are factory set and should not need to be altered.
It is advisable to fully drain the air from the tank if the compressor is left unused overnight,
this will prevent the build-up of water in the tank.
A few do’s and don’ts:
Do not use dirty or non detergent oil.
Do not operate compressor in an ambient temperature above +40˚C.
Do not operate in a badly ventilated area.
Do keep the air filter clean.
Servicing and Maintenance...
Daily:
Drain water from tank.
Weekly:
Check oil level and top-up if necessary.
Monthly:
Remove and clean the air filter elements. Do not use the compressor without the air filter
fitted.
Six Monthly (or after 500 hours):
Change the oil. With the oil still warm place a suitable container underneath the oil drain
plug then remove the plug (see Fig A page 12) and tilt the compressor to the side, (to drain
the oil for the AWBDC30 remove the oil filer plug and tilt the compressor upwards)
(See Fig B page 12), drain the oil right out. Replace the oil drain plug for the AWBDC20 and
refill to the level mark on the sight glass. Replace the oil filler plug.
Caution: Do Not over-tighten the oil drain plug nut.
