Installation and maintenance instructions for compressor
Starting Operation:
– Check nameplate to ensure that indicated voltage agrees with supply voltage.
– Insert plug in respective socket.
The plug coming with the equipment is a VDE 16A.
Operation of the compressor is automatically controlled by the pressure control, which
switches the compressor off once pressure in the tank has reached its maximum, while it
starts again when it has fallen to its minimum.
Proper automatic operation of the compressor is indicated by a compressed air blast
when the motor stops.
7.1
Operation and maintenance
Before you start working, let the compressor run for 10 minutes with the air tap completely open
so that its moving parts can get used to operating.
Important! Please read!
This compressor is not designed or built for long-term use. It is recommended that it not be op-
erated more than 15 minutes continuously.
Set-up
Always set up the compressor
at least 50 cm
from any obstruction that could hinder the
airflow and thereby the cooling.
7.2
Periodic maintenance
(E)
After the first 5 operating hours, check that cap and casing screws
(Fig. E1)
fit tightly.
Once per week:
Drain the condensation water
by opening the tap E
(Fig. E2)
.
Set the container in such a way that the openings of the drain tap points downward. Close the
tap as soon as only air begins streaming out. Because the compressor is lubrication free, the
condensation water can be drained into the sewer.
Once per month (or more often if the device is used in a dusty environment):
Remove the
suction filter
and replace it (if it is damaged) or clean the filter element
(Fig. E3)
.
Take off the filter cap and remove the filter element.
Wash it with detergent, rinse it with water and completely dry it. Do not operate the compressor
without a suction filter.
7.3
Troubleshooting
(F)
In case of air loss proceeds as follows:
(Fig. F1)
a) Charge compressor to maximum pressure.
b) Pull plug from socket.
c) With a paint brush dipped into soap water, daub all screws. Any air loss is discovered when
bubbles form.
If - with the compressor switched off - air is lost at the pressure control valve, proceed as fol-
lows:
a) Completely empty the compressed air tank.
b) Remove plug N
(Fig. F1)
from the ‘retainer’ valve.
c) Carefully clean valve base and seal, and reassemble.
Motor protection (Fig.F2)
The compressor is equipped with motor protection that automatically interrupts the current sup-
ply in the event of an overload.
In this case, switch off the current supply and wait several minutes before you reset the motor
circuit breaker and restart the machine. If the circuit breaker trips again, disconnect the power
supply and contact an authorized customer service facility.
