10.5 Oil change (fig. 1, 10, 11)

Switch the motor off and unplug the mains plug from 

the power outlet. Remove the oil plug (15). After re-

leasing any air pressure, you can unscrew the oil 

drain screw (12) on the compressor pump (13).

To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled 

manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening 

and collect the oil in a vessel. 

If the oil does not drain out completely, we recom-

mend tilting the compressor slightly. Once the oil has 

fully drained out, replace the oil drain screw (12).

Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil.

To fill in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the 

compressor stands on an even surface. Fill the new 

oil into the oil filler hole (18) until the oil level reaches 

the maximum fill quantity.

 This is marked with a red 

dot on the oil-level window (12) (fig. 11).

 Do not ex-

ceed the maximum filling quantity.

Overfilling the equipment may result in damage.

 Re-

insert the oil plug (15) into the oil filler hole (18).

10.6 Cleaning the intake filter (fig. 3, 12, 13)

The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being sucked 

in. 

It is necessary to clean this filter at least every 300 

operating hours. 

A  blocked  intake  filter  significantly 

reduces the compressor power. 

Remove  the  intake  filter  (2x)  by  opening  the  screw 

(E).

Then pull off the filter cover (D).

 You can now remove 

the air filter (F).

Carefully knock out the air filter, fil

-

ter cover and filter housing.

 These components must 

then be blown out with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) 

and reassembled in reverse order.

10.7 Storage

m

 Attention!

Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equip

-

ment and all connected pneumatic tools.  Store 

the compressor in such a way that it cannot be 

used by unauthorised persons.

m

 Attention!

Store the compressor only in a dry location 

which is not accessible to unauthorised per-

sons. 

Always store upright, never tilted!

 Oil may 

leak out!

10.7.1 Releasing overpressure

Release overpressure in the compressor by switch-

ing off the compressor and using up the compressed 

air still in the pressure vessel, e.g. with a compressed 

air tool running at idle or with an air blow gun.

10.8. Transport

Use the transport handle (1) to transport the device, 

and drive the compressor with it. 

When lifting the compressor, note its weight (see 

Technical data).

Ensure that the load is well secured when transport-

ing the compressor in a motor vehicle.

10.1 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 any cleaning 

products 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 com-

pressor must not be cleaned with water, solvents 

or similar.

10.2 Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1)

Attention!  To ensure a long service life for the 

pressure vessel (8), drain off the condensate af

-

ter each use by opening the drain screw (10). 

Release the boiler pressure beforehand (see 10.7.1). 

The drain screw is opened by turning it counter-

clockwise (when looking at the screw on the bottom 

of the compressor) so that the condensate can be 

completely drained out of the pressure vessel. Then 

close the drain screw again (turn clockwise). Check 

the pressure vessel for rust and damage each time 

before use

The compressor shall not be operated if the pressure 

vessel is damaged or rusty. If you discover damage, 

please contact the customer service workshop.

m

 Attention!

The condensate from the pressure vessel contains 

oil residue. Dispose of the condensate in an environ-

mentally friendly manner at a suitable collection point.

10.3 Safety valve (fig. 3)

The safety valve (17) is set to the maximum permissi-

ble pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not permitted 

to adjust the safety valve or remove the connection 

lock (9b) between the exhaust nut and its cap. 

Actuate the safety valve every 30 operating hours but 

at least 3 times a year to ensure that it works when 

required.  Turn the exhaust nut counterclockwise to 

open it and pull the valve rod outwards over the ex-

haust nut to open the outlet of the safety valve. Now, 

the valve audibly releases air. Then turn the drain nut 

clockwise again to tighten. 

10.4  Check the oil level at regular intervals  

(fig. 11)

Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.

The oil level must be positioned between the MAX 

and MIN of the oil sight glass (12).

Oil change: recommended oil: SAE 15W 40 or equiv-

alent.

The first oil filling must be changed after 10 operat

-

ing hours; afterwards, perform an oil change every 

50 operating hours.
