MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Cleaning
• Keep the devices free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a
clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after you use it.
• Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
appliance. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the appliance.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before
cleaning. Do not clean the compressor with water, solvents or the like.
Removing condensed water
The condensed water must be drained off each day by
opening the drainage screw (12), at the bottom of the tank.
The drainage screw can be opened by turning it in
an anti-clockwise direction (Fig. 34). Be sure to re-tighten the
drainage screw before the next use of the compressor.
Cleaning the air filter
The intake air filter (1) prevents dust and dirt being drawn in.
It is essential to clean this filter after at least every 300 hours
of service. A clogged air filter will decrease the compressor’s
performance dramatically.
1.
Remove the filter from the compressor by unscrewing the
screw on the plastic cover (Fig. 35).
2.
Lift off the plastic cover and remove the intake air filter
beneath (Fig. 36).
3.
Carefully clean the filter by tapping or blowing it with low
pressure compressed air (approx. 3 bar). To assemble,
proceed in reverse order.
IMPORTANT!
Always depressurise the tank before carrying out any cleaning and
maintenance work.
