5.3 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRESSURE VESSELS
• This pressure tank is mainly intended for static use. It can only be charged with natural
air within temperature and pressure limits as specified on the manufacturer's plate and
declaration of conformity.
• Ensure that tank safety and control devices are efficient and flawless. When replaced,
the tank should not be under pressure.
• Drain the condensation off the tank every day.
• Check for signs of inner corrosion at regular intervals. Tank walls should have a
minimum thickness of 1.0 – 2.0mm.
• Any kind of welding to the tank is forbidden.
• The user shall comply with laws on pressure vessel operation in force in the country in
which the tank is operated.
• The construction is mainly effected for permanent load by internal pressure. Cyclic loads
are not considered, only for a range of 10% PS.
5.4 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible
with the power supply you intend to connect it to.
This compressor comes supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug fitted. It is designed for
connection to a domestic power supply rated at 230V AC.
Because it is constructed mostly of metal parts, it is a Class 1 machine; meaning, it must
have an earth connection in the power supply. This is to prevent electrocution in the event
of a failure.
Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this
compressor.
