Maintenance
1.After the first 10 hours of working, empty the crank case of oil and refill with clean oil by removing the crank case oil plug (left hand side of the crank case at the bottom)
Note. Use good quality compressor lubricating oil.
•SAE30 or L-DAB 100 over 10°C
2.After each subsequent 250 hours of operation, again drain the oil and refill the crank case with clean oil.
3.After each day of operation unscrew the two drain cocks
(9) under the tanks to drain out any condensation that is in the tanks. This will protect the tanks from rusting and prolong the product life. Once the draining has been completed screw the drain cocks (9)closed and re assemble the air compressor.
Note. Both tanks have independent drain cocks and both have to be drained after each day of use.
CAUTION. The top tank must be removed from the compressor prior to draining every time.
4.Regularly check the air filter insert cartridge inside the air filter assembly (15) and clean or replace the insert when necessary.
5.Check daily the operation of the safety valves (7). This check should be performed when the tank contains close to max pressure in the tank.
To check the valves, pressurise the tank, and pull the ring OUTWARDS on the safety valve.
Air should discharge from the valve.
Release the ring of the safety valves. When the ring is released the air discharge must stop.
WARNINGS.
Safety glasses must be worn when performing this test.
Do not have your face close to the safety valve when performing this test as air will discharge from the valve at a high force.
If the safety valve does not operate correctly in any way as described above, turn off the compressor immediately and
have the compressor and safety valve checked and tested at an authorised Service centre.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE COMPRESSOR IN ANY WAY IF THE SAFETY VALVE DOES NOT WORK AS ABOVE.
Maintaining the air filter
1.To clean the air filter insert you need to take the air filter (15) apart first. Remove the cover along by twisting it
2.Pull out the air filter and tap it a few times against a surface that is dry and clean to loosen up and remove any dust and build up. Then vacuum it for a minute or so to draw out the more stubborn particles.
3.Replace the air filter insert cartridge, then
General inspection
1.Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.
