Starting & Stopping
Plug the compressor into an outlet socket of nominal voltage and fitted with a 13 amp fuse.
Switch the compressor on using the on/off control on top of the pressure switch.
- see fig 3
The compressor will start running and automatically switch off at the preset pressure.
As air is used, the pressure drops and the motor will restart at the preset pressure. Approx 2 Bar differential.
Note!
Never tamper with the pressure switch settings; these are factory set.
Adjusting Outlet Pressure
Use the filter regulator to adjust the outlet pressure. The 40mm pressure indicates the selected pressure. To increase line
pressure, rotate the black knob on top of the filter regulator in a clockwise manner; to decrease turn anti clockwise. It is
possible to lock the setting by pushing the knob down until it “clicks” home – see fig 4
Routine Maintenance
Draining the Air Receiver
Drain condensate from air receiver at a pressure of no more than 2 Bar.
Slowly open the drain tap provided to allow water to flow out – see figs 7 & 8
Close drain tap when all water has drained off.
Do not overtighten; this will damage the tap seal.
Automatic drains where fitted do not require draining, however the drain bottle will require emptying.
Draining the Filter/Regulator Unit
Slowly open the drain screw provided to allow water to flow out.
Close drain screw when all water has drained off - see fig 5
Note !
Waste condensate must be handled in accordance with national environmental rules.
Check Pressure Relief Valve
Ensure the air receiver is not pressurised.
Unscrew the knurled end of the pressure relief valve until an audible “click” is heard.
Retighten without using excessive force – see fig 6
Technical
The compressor has a maximum 50% duty cycle. The motor must never be allowed to run continuously; otherwise it will
overheat and may become damaged.
Do not ignore air leaks.
All air connections must be leak free to prevent the compressor from over heating.
The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload. In the event of excessive temperature, the motor will switch off. After about
50 minutes when the motor has cooled, it will automatically reset.
Note!
You must find the cause of the overload and rectify this before continuing to use the compressor.
