2. Safety Instructions
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the equipment:
- Ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, level surface.
- Do not operate the compressor in wet or damp conditions.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye and hearing protection.
- Before any maintenance or inspection, disconnect the compressor from the power supply and ensure the tank is depressurized.
- Regularly check all connections and hoses for leaks or damage.
- Do not direct compressed air at people or animals.
3. Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the compressor and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Wheel Assembly: Attach the wheels to the designated axles on the compressor base. Secure them firmly.
- Feet Installation: Ensure the rubber feet are securely attached to the tank's support brackets to provide stability and reduce vibration.
- Oil Level Check: Verify the oil level in the V-aggregate. The compressor is equipped with oil lubrication. Refer to the sight glass for the correct level.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cable to a grounded 230 V/50 Hz electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit can handle the 2.2 kW motor power.

4. Operating Instructions
To operate your Güde compressor:
- Power On: Switch on the compressor using the main power switch. The motor will start, and the tank will begin to fill with compressed air.
- Pressure Monitoring: Monitor the pressure gauges. One gauge shows the tank pressure, and the other shows the regulated output pressure.
- Pressure Adjustment: Use the pressure reducer knob to set the desired output pressure for your tools. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Connecting Tools: Attach your compressed air tools to the universal couplings.
- Automatic Operation: The compressor will automatically shut off when the maximum pressure (10 bar) is reached and restart when the pressure drops below a set threshold.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor:
- Condensate Drainage: Drain the condensate water from the tank daily or after each use. This prevents corrosion inside the tank. Use the water drain valve at the bottom of the tank.
- Oil Change: Change the compressor oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically after the first 50 hours, then every 200-300 hours). Use only specified compressor oil.
- Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement: Inspect and clean the air filter regularly. Replace if heavily soiled or damaged to ensure proper air intake and prevent motor strain.
- General Cleaning: Keep the compressor clean and free of dust and debris, especially around the motor and cooling fins.
6. Troubleshooting
Common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor does not start | No power supply; Motor protection switch tripped | Check power connection; Reset motor protection switch |
| Low air pressure/slow filling | Air leaks; Clogged air filter; Worn piston rings | Check connections for leaks; Clean/replace air filter; Contact service for repair |
| Excessive noise/vibration | Loose components; Insufficient oil; Worn bearings | Tighten all fasteners; Check/add oil; Contact service |
| Oil leakage | Loose drain plug; Damaged seals | Tighten plug; Contact service for seal replacement |
