Operating & Safety Guide 595
You can now make the hose connections
between
compressor and whatever it is supplying.
The hose and compressor have a snap type
connector fitting.
Pull back the coupling’s outer sleeve,
inserts the end of the hose, then let the sleeve snap back
into place.
Once the air hose is connected to both the compressor
and the tool or spray gun being used,
check that the
ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and that all
air taps are closed (turn clockwise to close & anti-
clockwise to open)
.
Now you can
plug it in
(or connect it up to its power
supply)
and switch the ON/OFF switch ON. This is
achieved by either pulling the red button out or
turning the switch clockwise to the ‘I’ symbol.
NOTE; The compressor must not be switched ON
using the power supply switch.
The compressors
switch automatically releases any pressure in the pump to
allow the motor to reach operating speed without
straining. Failure to observe this rule will result in the
motor burning out.
Allow the compressor to run and build up
pressure. The compressor’s motor will cut out when
the correct working pressure is reached.
The motor
will then cut back in when the pressure is reduced.
Before opening the air tap, adjust the pressure
control to give the required output
for the
equipment you are using. Pull the red adjuster knob up,
turn clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease.
Once the pressure gauge shows the correct pressure,
push the red adjuster knob back down to lock it in place.
Always
refer to the instructions supplied with the
equipment being run, for the correct pressure
. If in
doubt, contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Having checked that the equipment being run is
switched OFF, you may now open the air tap.
Caution
Do not run a compressor continuously for long periods.
From time to time, switch it OFF and unplug it, then
open the
receiver tankís drain valve to remove any water that has
accumulated.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits.
If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Ask at
you local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Handle the equipment with care.
In particular, avoid
knocking the air taps. Tank and safety valve.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
Keep the compressor upright at all times,
if the unit
has fallen over or been placed on its side, DO NOT use
it, contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Damaged hoses are dangerous, so always handle
them with care
and coil them neatly, without kinks,
for storage.
Even if you are only stopping work for short break,
shut down the compressor completely.
Close all air taps, then
operate the equipment fed by
the compressor to
release the pressure in the hoses.
Finally,
carefully open the receiver tank’s drain valve
to release the pressure in the tank and remove any water
in the system.
If you have finished with the equipment
completely,
you should now
clean up the
compressor
as thoroughly as possible. Then
disconnect the air hoses and tools and coil them
neatly ready for return to you local HSS Hire Shop.
