Fitting The Air Filter
1. Remove the transportation
cover from the air filter
connection with a screwdriver.
2. Attach the supplied air filter by
screwing it in clockwise.
Checking The Oil Level
1. Place the compressor on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil sealing plug and allow the
oil level to settle for a few minutes.
3. Screw the breather plug into place.
Note:
The compressor should be operated
with the breather plug in place. The oil
sealing plug may be used for transport or
storage of the compressor.
4. Check that the oil level is
between the ‘MAX’ and ‘MIN’
marks on the oil level window.
Note:
The oil level may appear
lower when first unboxed due
to movement of the unit during
transit. Leave the compressor
on a level surface for several
minutes with the oil sealing plug
removed before checking the
oil level.
5. If the oil level is below the ‘MIN’ mark, refer to the Maintenance
section - Changing The Oil and follow the directions for refilling the
oil in the compressor.

Switching The Compressor On/Off
1. To switch the compressor on,
pull the on/off switch to the ‘I’
position. Allow the motor to
run and the tank to fill up.
Note:
You can monitor the
pressure in the tank with the tank
pressure gauge.
Note:
The compressor will automatically cut off when the tank
pressure reaches 8bar and will automatically start up again when the
tank pressure drops to 6bar.
2. To switch the compressor off, press the on/off switch to the ‘0’
position.
Thermal Overload Protection
This Air Compressor is fitted with thermal protection and will shut off
to protect the compressor from overheating.
The compressor may also have shut off due to reaching max. cut
off pressure. If you are unsure, use an attached blow gun to release
some of the pressure until the tank pressure gauge drops below 6bar.
If the motor does not automatically start up, the unit has overloaded
and the thermal protection has activated.
If the thermal protection activates, switch off the compressor and
allow the compressor to cool down for 15 minutes. Before attempting
to restart the air compressor, check that the oil level is sufficient and
that the air filter is not blocked. Refer to the Maintenance section to
clean air filter or add oil if needed.
WARNING!
ALLOW THE AIR COMPRESSOR TO
COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.
WARNING!
DO NOT CONTINUE USE OF THE UNIT
IF THE THERMAL PROTECTION ACTIVATES AGAIN
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RESET.
