CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU USE THE COMPRESSOR!
2. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
BEFORE USING THE COMPRESSOR:
1. Place the compressor in a well ventilated, frost
free area.
To obtain sufficient ventilation and cooling the distan-
ce between the shield and the wall needs to be at least
50 to 60 cm.
2. The following points need to be checked:
- do the voltage of the engine and the engine safe
guard, if any, correspond to the mains voltage (ap-
pliances for a mains voltage of 230 V can be connec-
ted to a mains voltage of 220 V without any pro-
blems);
- an earthed mains connection (wall socket) needs
to be used;
- are the mains lead and the mains plug in a good con-
dition: solid, without any loose ends or damage;
- the pressure reducing valve may not be copletely
closed so as to prevent damage to membranes;
-before use the air tank needs to be empty.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the motor
windings as a result of voltage variation it is advisable
to mount an engine safety switch.
WHILE USING THE COMPRESSOR:
1. Do not use extension cables which are too long.
IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF THE COMPRES-
SOR IN CASE OF:
1. defective mains plug, mains line or damage to the
mains line;
2. defective switch;
3. smoke or bad smell caused by scorched insulation.
3. INSTALLATION
The compressor needs to be placed in well-ventilated,
frost-free area. To obtain sufficient ventilation and coo-
ling the distance between the shield and the wall needs to
be at least 50 to 60 cm.
4. OPERATING THE COMPRESSOR
- The mains switch needs to be in “OFF” or “0” posi-
tion before the mains plug is connected to the mains
voltage.
- Bij switching the switch to “ON” or “1” the compres-
sor will operate.
- Always keep the mains lead away from moving parts
of any linked up air-pressure equipment.
-With the use of the reducing valve it is possible to ad-
just the air pressure by hand. By pressing the reducing
valve the chosen position can be locked.
5. MAINTENANCE
The mains plug always needs to be taken out
of the socket (the mains socket) during main-
tenance or cleaning activities. Never use wa-
ter or other agressive liquids to clean the ma-
chine. Clean the machine by brushing it with
a brush.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPRES-
SOR WILL PREVENT UNNECESSARY PROBLEMS!
Every month:
Clean the air filter.
Every 1,000 working hours:
Carefully clean the outside of both the compressor
and the engine, to ensure an efficient cooling.
Condensation :
Regularly, i.e. several times a week, drain condensa-
tion from the air chamber, using the drain cock situa-
ted on the underneath of the air chamber.
