4.To stop the compressor, lift the On/Off lever (3) to the vertical position.
Operation
1.The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure switch located under the pressure switch cover (2). 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 air outlet (6).
4.The pressure of the regulated outlet, as shown on the regulated outlet pressure gauge (7), can be changed by turning the regulating knob (5).
Note. To obtain the correct output reading on the regulated output gauge, the air must be flowing through the outlet.
The regulating valve should be adjusted and the gauge read with the outlet valve open and the air being discharged from the regulated outlet through the accessory being used.
To increase the air pressure, rotate the regulating valve clockwise. To decrease the pressure, rotate the regulating valve
Note. If you do not allow the air to discharge while you are setting the regulator, the pressure as indicated on the regulated outlet gauge will be incorrect. This gauge ONLY indicates the correct pressure while air is being discharged from the outlet.
5.On completion of the task, i.e. when you have finished using the compressor, or when you are leaving the compressor unattended, turn off the compressor in the following way:
•Set the on/off lever (3) to the off position.
•Wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the release valve under the pressure switch cover (2).
Note. You may hear a short air discharge for approximately 1/2 a second. This discharge only occurs if the compressor is actually running at the time, and not in idle.
•Switch off the electrical power supply and remove the electrical plug.
•Pull the ring on the safety valve (8) to ensure all the pressurised air is released from the tank, or open the drain cock (10) to release the pressure from the tank.
To open the drain cock (10) rotate the valve
