5.1

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.
General information
Important!
Please read!
This compressor is not designed or built for long-term use. It is recommended that it not be
operated at more than 50% and not for 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.
5.2

Periodic maintenance

After the first 5 operating hours, check that cap and casing screws fit
tightly (fig. 2).
Once per week (Fig. 4)
Drain the condensation water by opening the tap E.
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. 6).
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.

Troubleshooting

If the pressure on the pressure display and the manometer falls
below 5.5 and the compressor doesn't go on, check to make sure
that the start switch on the pressure switch is in the ON position.
5.3

Troubleshooting

In case of air loss proceeds as follows:
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 follows:
a) Completely empty the compressed air tank.
b) Remove plug N (fig. 4) from the 'retainer' valve.
c) Carefully clean valve base and seal, and reassemble.
