Operation
1.The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the 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 either the Nitto style quick coupler regulated air
outlets (4) or the removable tank inflator hose (27).
4.The pressure of the regulated quick connect outlets is shown on the regulated outlet pressure gauge (6). The regulated pressure can be adjusted 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(s)
(4). 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. If you are using both of the regulated outlets (4) simultaneously make sure that the tools being connected have the same pressure operation requirements. 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:
•Lift the on/off switch (2) to the off position
•Wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the release valve.
Note. You will hear a short air discharge of approx
½second however, 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 both of the safety valves (7) to ensure all the pressurised air is released from the tank, or open the both drain cocks (9) to release the pressure from the tank.
Tank removal/installation
This twin tank air compressor has the added benefit of a removable tank which provides a mobile source of limited/ short term compressed air. This has many advantages including inflating flat tyres on site as well as performing small brad nailing tasks.
Note. It is important that end users understand the capabilities of the removable tank and work with in it’s capabilities.
Removing the air tank:
1.Turn the On/Off switch (2) on the compressor to the off position.
2.Turn the power supply off and disconnect the power cable.
3.Lift the main handle (1) up and away from the portable tank.
