To start the air compressor

1.Check the rating label on the compressor indicates 230V-240V.

2.Make sure that the selected location for the compressor is clean, dry, well ventilated and without any obstruction.

3.Conduct a visual check to the make sure that compressor is not damaged and is fully in tack.

4.Make sure that he drain cock (13) is installed and screwed into the closed position.

5.Connect the air hose to the quick coupler located on the air compressor, by pushing back the outer sleeve of the quick coupler (Fig. A) and inserting the end of the hose. Release the outer sleeve and make sure the hose stays in place (Fig. B).

6.Install the desired air accessory into the quick coupler at the end of air hose by pulling back on the outer sleeve of the quick coupler and inserting the accessory into it. Release the outer sleeve and make sure the accessory and hose are securely connected. For instructions on how to assemble the accessories refer to pages 11 and 12.

7.Plug in the mains cable of

the compressor to a standardC

240V household power point and turn it on.

8.To start the compressor, press the yellow “On/Off” (1) switch to the “on” setting located on top of the compressor (Fig. C).

WARNING. Be aware that pressurised air will be discharged from the outlet and care should be taken that this discharge is not directed towards you the operator, or other persons within the area.

9.To stop the compressor, push the yellow “On/Off” (1) switch to the “off” setting.

Operating the air compressor

1.The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of a pressure switch. When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch activates and the motor is switched off. The pressure then decreases as the air is used by the connected tool until the set minimum pressure is reached after which the pressure switch causes the motor to switch on again. The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during use of the compressor the motor will start and stop under the influence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank. The motor will start without any warning.

2.The maximum and minimum pressures are factory set and the operator should not try to change them.

3.All accessories are connected

to the regulated outlet valve (8).

4.The pressure of the regulated outlet, as shown on the regulated outlet pressure gauge (12), can be changed by turning the regulating knob (9) (Fig. D).

Note. To obtain the correct output reading on the regulated output gauge, the air must be flowing through the regulated outlet valve and the selected air tool/accessory.

The air pressure regulating knob should be adjusted and the gauge must be read. Only read the gauge when the regulated outlet valve has the air hose connected with the selected air tool/accessory attached and drawing air/discharging.

Do not start the application until you have set the regulated outlet pressure accordingly for the selected tool/accessory.
