4.1 Safety instructions
• Never point compressed air at persons.

rating pressure of the compressor.
• Do not reach into the rotating wheels when
the compressor is operational.
• Touch the compressor system at the on

4.2 Switching the unit on
Check the oil level through the oil level
inspection glass and top up the oil, if and
when necessary (cf. chapter 5.2 “Checking
and topping up the oil level”).
Set the power switch to on or plug in the
power plug.
Set the operating switch to position 1 (cf.
Fig. 1: Component overview).
The compressor will start up automatically
when the pressure in the network is lower than
the cut-in pressure set. The unit will stop auto-
matically when the operating pressure is made
in the network.
In case of faults, please refer to chapter 7 titled
“Trouble shooting” for more help.
4.3 Daily check-ups
• Drain the condensation water at the com-
pressed-air reservoir (cf. chapter 5.4 “Drai-

• Check the oil level of the compressor (cf.
chapter 5.2 “Checking and topping up the
oil level”).
4.4 Switching the unit off
Set the operating switch to position 0 (cf.
Fig. 1: Component overview).
Set the power switch to off or remove the
power plug.
