OPERATION

Fig.3
Firstly, ensure the compressor is on level ground...do not allow
it to run if it is standing on an incline.
Check also that the mains voltage corresponds with that
shown on the data label on the side of the compressor.
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch, mounted on the Pressure
Switch (shown in fig. 1), is turned to the ‘0’ (OFF) position,
then plug in and switch ON at the mains supply.
NOTE: SHHH2 ONLY
This model is supplied with a foot switch, which must be
depressed to start the compressor and depressed a second
time to stop it. Ensure the pedal is NOT depressed when
plugging in to the mains supply.
ALL OTHER MODELS
1.
To start the compressor, turn the ON/OFF switch to the
‘I’ (ON) position - the motor should start immediately.
NOTE: Should the motor fail to start immediately, it is possible
that the air receiver is already full of air. Check the tank
pressure gauge (see fig. 2). If you release air, by opening
the air outlet tap, the motor will start automatically once the
cut-in pressure is reached. (This does not apply to the SHHH2)
Before connecting your airline to the compressor,allow
it to run for 10 - 15 seconds, with the air outlet tap,(A, Fig.
3) completely open to permit a good distribution of the
lubricating oil.
2.
Close the outlet tap then connect one end of suitable
air hose to the connector at the filter/regulator outlet,
(B, Fig. 3) and the other end to the equipment to be
used.
3.
Set the outlet pressure by adjusting the Pressure
Regulator.
T
o do this, lift the Pressure Regulator Knob (C Fig. 3),
and turn it clockwise to increase pressure, anticlockwise
to decrease as noted on the Outlet Gauge, (D, Fig. 3).
To lock the Regulator Knob and hence the outlet
pressure, push the Regulator Knob down until it clicks
into place.
NOTE: For most spray work do not exceed 50 psi (unless
following paint manufacturer’s instructions).
For other airline equipment such as, tyre gauges, staple guns,
paraffin guns etc., it may be necessary to set the operating
pressure at a higher (or lower) level.
