6.9 Overload cut-out (Fig. 1)
The motor of this equipment is protected against
overload by an overload switch (P). If the rated
current is exceeded, the overload switch (P) shuts
down the equipment. After a short cooling down
period, the equipment can be reactivated by pressing
the overload switch (P).
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning and maintenance
Important!
Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the appliance.
Important!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled
down. Risk of burns!
Important!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying out
any cleaning and maintenance work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as
far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
We recommend that you clean the appliance
immediately after you use it.
Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the
plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure that no
water can get into the interior of the appliance.
You must disconnect the hose and any spraying
tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do
not clean the compressor with water, solvents or
the like.
8.2 Condensation water
Important. To ensure a long service life of the
pressure vessel (2), drain off the condensed water by
opening the drain valve (11) each time after using.
Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and
damage each time before using. Do not use the
compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel.
If you discover any damage, please contact the
customer service workshop.
Important! The condensation water from the
pressure vessel will contain residual oil.
Dispose of the condensation water in an
environmentally compatible manner at the
appropriate collection point.
8.3 Safety valve (10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest
permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is
prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its
seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to
ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring with
sufficient force until you can hear the compressed air
being released. Then release the ring again.
8.4 Check the oil level at regular intervals (Fig.10)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the two marks MAX
and MIN on the oil oil level window.
Changing the oil: Recommended hydraulic oil: SAE
15W/40 or an alternative of the same quality.
It should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours
of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained and
refilled after every 500 hours in service.
8.5 Changing the oil
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of
the socket. After releasing any air pressure you can
unscrew the oil drainage screw (15) from the
compressor pump. To prevent the oil from running
out in an uncontrolled manner, hold a small metal
chute under the opening and collect the oil in a
vessel. If the oil does not drain out completely, we
recommend tilting the compressor slightly.
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old
oil.
When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drainage
screw (15). Fill new oil through the oil filler opening
(14) until it comes up to the required level. Then
replace the oil sealing plug (14).
