Operation

Starting & Stopping

Plug the compressor into an outlet socket of nominal voltage.   

All models:

Switch the compressor on by turning the red control

on top of the pressure switch to the “Auto” position.

  

The compressor will run until the pressure in the receiver

is at 8 bar. It will then cut out.

 

As air is used the pressure drops and the motor will restart at the preset pressure.  

There is approximately a 2 Bar differential.

Note!

Each time the compressor switches off, you will hear a short hiss of air.  You are 

hearing the unloader valve discharging the residual delivery pipe pressure.  

This is normal.

Adjusting Outlet Pressure

Use the pressure regulator to adjust the outlet pressure. 

To increase line pressure, rotate the knob in a clockwise

direction; to decrease turn anti clockwise.  

It is possible to lock the setting by

pushing the knob down until it “clicks” home.

There are two pressure gauges on each model. 

The larger gauge indicates the air receiver pressure, the smaller gauge indicates the 

air outlet pressure.

NOTE!

NEVER unplug the compressor when running. Always switch off using the red 

control on the pressure switch to ensure the compressor discharges.

Failure to do so will cause damage and will invalidate your warranty.
