10. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and 
ready for operation.  The connection complies 
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. 
The customer’s mains connection as well as the 
extension cable used must also comply with these 
regulations.

10.1 Important notes

In the event of overloading, the motor will switch itself off. After 
a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched 
back on again.

10.2 Damaged electrical connection cable

The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through 

windows or doors.

• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly 

fastened or routed.

• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to 

being driven over.

• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used 
and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.

Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. 
Ensure that the connection cables are disconnected from 
electrical power when checking for damage.

Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable 
VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables of the 
same designation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable 
is mandatory.

10.3 AC motor

• The mains voltage must be 220 - 240 V∼ 50 Hz.
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-section 

of 1.5 square millimetres.

Connections and repair work on the electrical equipment may 
only be carried out by electricians.

Please provide the following information in the event of any 
enquiries:
• Type of current for the motor
• Data of machine type plate
• Data of motor type plate

11. Cleaning, maintenance and storage

m

 Attention!

Pull out the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning and 
maintenance work! Risk of injury from electric shock!

m

 Attention!

Wait until the equipment has cooled down completely! Danger 
of burning!

m

 Attention!

Always depressurise the equipment before carrying out any 
cleaning and maintenance work! Danger of injury!

11.1 Cleaning

• Keep the device as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the 

device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed 
air at low pressure.

• We recommend that you clean the device directly after every 

use.

• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and 

a little soft soap. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or 
solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device. 
Make sure that no water can penetrate the device interior.

• The hose and injection tools must be disconnected from the 

compressor before cleaning.  The compressor must not be 
cleaned with water, solvents or similar. gereinigt werden.

11.2 Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1)
Attention! 

To ensure a long service life for the pressure vessel (8), drain off 
the condensate after each use by opening the drain screw (10). 
Release the vessel pressure first (see 11.8.1). Open the drain 
screw (10) by turning it counterclockwise (when looking 
at the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that the 
condensate can be completely drained out of the pressure 
vessel (8).
Then close the drain screw (10) again (turn it clockwise). 
Check the pressure vessel (8) for rust and damage each time 
before use.
Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure 
vessel (8). If you discover damage, please contact the customer 
service workshop.

m

 Attention!

The condensate from the pressure vessel (8) will contain 
residual oil. Dispose of the condensate in an environmentally 
friendly manner at a suitable collection point.

11.3 Safety valve (fig. 3)

The safety valve (19) has been set for the highest permitted 
pressure of the pressure vessel (8). It is not permitted to adjust 
the safety valve (19) or remove the connection lock (19b) 
between the exhaust nut (19a) and its cap (19c).  Actuate 
the safety valve (19) every 30 operating hours but at least 
three times a year to ensure that it works when required. Turn 
the perforated exhaust nut (19a) counterclockwise to open it 
and use your hands to pull the valve rod outwards over the 
perforated exhaust nut (19a) to open the outlet of the safety 
valve (19). Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten 
the exhaust nut (19a) clockwise again. 

11.4  Checking the oil level at regular intervals 

(fig. 10)

Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the 
oil-level window (18).
Oil change: recommended oil: SAE 15W 40 or equivalent. The 
original oil filling must be changed after 100 operating hours; 
afterwards the oil must be drained and replaced with new oil 
after every 500 operating hours.
