RUNNING IN YOUR NEW AIR COMPRESSOR

Before running in ensure that the following has been 

completed;

1.   The transport plug has been removed and discarded, see 

pic. 2 page 10.

2.   The oil breather has been fitted, see page 10.
3.   Oil level is correct, see pic. 4 page 10.
4.   The air compressor has been fully assembled, see pages 

10 – 12.

Your new air compressor requires running in:

1.   Plug the power cord into a standard 240V AC power 

point

2.   Open the tank drain tap
3.   Start the air compressor using the  

ON / OFF button

4.   Run the air compressor for approximately  

1 minutes

This ensures that the air compressor is fully lubricated under 

no load.
After the 1 minute stop the air compressor using the ON 

/ OFF button.  Allow to cool approximately 10 minutes. 

Recheck the oil level and top up if needed, additional oil, 

SAE30, not included.
Before starting your air compressor again ensure;
1. Tank drain tap is closed

Positioning your new compressor

Choose a location away from your work area and near to 

mains power point.

NOTE:   1.  Never use an extension lead. Always use a longer 

  air hose

2.  Always position compressor on level ground

3.  Always position compressor away from work  

  area so that the inflator does not get covered in   

  dust or paint - use a longer air hose to ensure  

  inflator is in clean air

USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR

Before starting run through this simple list;

1.   Transport plug removed and discarded, see Pic. 2, page 

10.

2.   Oil breather fitted, see Pic. 2, page 10.
3.   Oil level – CORRECT (top of red dot).  Please refer to 

diagram, Pic. 4, page 10.

4.   Drain tap – open and drain tank
5.   Drain tap – close fully
6.   Check power lead for any damage. If damaged have 

replaced by an authorised service centre.

7.   Plug air compressor into a standard 240V 10Amp AC 

power point and turn ON.

8.   Lift the air compressor switch to turn ON, see page 12, 

Pic.8.

9.   Allow the air compressor to fill the air tank.
10.  Turn the air compressor OFF.
11. Turn the power point OFF and disconnect the power lead 

from the power point.

12.  Connect your air hose and air tools.
13.   Reconnect to the power lead to the power point and 

turn ON.

14.  Turn your air compressor ON.
15.   Once turned on and you begin using the connected 

air tools the air compressor will start and stop without 

warning.  This is controlled by the pressure switch.  

These pressure settings are factory set and should not 

be changed. 

Pumping starts at (minimum) 85PSI and stops at 

(maximum) 115PSI.  Once the initial pump up stage has 

finished you can adjust the outlet air pressure to the 

tools recommended working pressure and open the air 

tap fully.
