CONSTRUCTION AND USE
The compressor driven with electric motor is a device whose main and
only function is air compression and holding atmospheric air. Pressurised
air can be used to drive pneumatic tools, pump air containers, spraying
liquids or blowing through hardly accessible places. It is intended for
amateur use only.
The compressor is designed for intermittent operation, which means
that it should be operated with the frequency of 1 working cycle/ 3
resting cycles (e.g.: 2.5 min. of operation and 7.5 min. break) to prevent
the unit from overheating.
THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE
Use the compressor according to the manufacturer's instructions only.

INFORMATION

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

COMPRESSOR INSTALATION
• Power supply voltage and frequency should match parameters
defined on the compressor rating plate and in the manual.
• Residual current device is required for electrical installation, it must
break the circuit in 30 ms after earth leakage current exceeds 30 mA.
• Make sure the compressor is not damaged during transportation.
• Check oil level in the compressor oil sump.
• Place the compressor as close as possible to compressed air receiver.
• Avoid using long compressed air hoses and long power cords.
• Make sure sucked air is dry, contains no contaminants or substances
that might cause fire or explosion inside the compressor.
• Do not install the compressor in damp rooms.
• The compressor must operate on even and stable ground to allow
proper lubrication.
PREPARATING THE COMPRESSOR FOR OPERATION
• Install ground wheels (8) (fig. B).
• Attach rubber pad (15) to the support foot (fig. C).
• Use a screwdriver to remove oil filler plug and install supplied plug
(11) in the hole (fig. A).
• Check oil level (12) (fig. A).
• Screw air filter (6) into the hole in the compressor head.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
• Switching on – pull the main switch button (5) upwards (ON) (fig. D).
• Switching off – press the main switch button (5) downwards (OFF)
(fig. D).
AIR PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Turn the pressure adjustment valve (7) counter-clockwise to unscrew it
and reduce compressor outlet pressure. Turn the pressure adjustment
valve clockwise to screw it in and increase outlet pressure (fig. H).
Manometer (10) shows the pressure value.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug the power cord from mains socket and release compressed
air from the tank before commencing any activities related to
installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
CONDENSATION WATER
After a day of operation drain condensation water from the tank. Use
drain plug for condensation water located in the bottom part of the tank.
Visually check condition of external tank surfaces once a year. Carry out
these checks more often if the tank is used with oilless compressor, in
highly humid environment or in unfavourable conditions (insufficient
ventilation, aggressive agents etc.).
All checks required by the law must be carried out in accordance with
applicable regulations and standards of the country, where the tank is used.
SAFETY VALVE
Safety valve is adjusted for maximum safe pressure allowed by the
tank design. Do not adjust the safety valve.
OIL LEVEL
Oil level should be visible in the sight glass and indicated with red
dot.
CHANGING OIL
• Switch off the motor and unplug the power cord from mains socket.
• Release compressed air from the tank.
• Unscrew the oil drain plug (13) (fig. A) and drain used oil into
a container (fig. F) (when there is small amount of oil left in the
compressor, tilt the compressor slightly to remove it).
• Remove the oil filler plug (11) from oil filler hole and fill with new oil
(fig. G) to appropriate level.
• Press the oil filler plug back in place.
15W/40 oil is recommended. Change the oil for the first time after 50
hours of compressor operation. Subsequent changes are required after
each 200 hours of operation.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Caution! Wait until the compressor cools down completely! Risk of
burns!
Clean the filter at time intervals no longer than 200 hours of
operation.
Flush it with kerosene, dry and install it back in place.
Clogged air filter considerably reduces compressor efficiency.
