2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the compressor. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or damage to the equipment.

• High Pressure Warning: This compressor operates at extremely high pressures (up to 4500 PSI / 300 Bar). Always ensure all connections are secure and rated for the operating pressure. Never exceed the maximum rated pressure of the tank being filled.
• Temperature Monitoring: The compressor temperature should not exceed 85℃. Continuous operation beyond this limit can cause damage. The running time should not exceed 45 minutes without a cool-down period.
• Oil Requirement: The compressor does not come with silicone oil due to transportation restrictions. Buyers must prepare silicone oil (e.g., Royal Purple compressor oil) and add it to the crankcase up to the red dot level before first use.
• Breathing Rod: Always replace the oil cap with the provided breathing rod before operating the compressor. Failure to do so can cause internal pressure buildup.
• Water Cooling: An independent water cooling system is essential for operation. Do not start the machine without preparing cooling water in an external bucket and ensuring the water pump is functioning.
• Air Quality: The compressor includes a filter along with the filling hose to ensure good air quality. Ensure the blue filter and hose are properly assembled and free of leaks.

4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for initial setup of your TUXING TXED012 compressor. Refer to the video below for a visual guide.

1. Oil Preparation: Locate the oil cap on the compressor. Remove the red transportation oil cap and replace it with the black breathing rod (oil breather). Add appropriate silicone compressor oil (not included) to the crankcase until the oil level reaches the red dot on the sight glass.
2. Filter and Hose Connection: Connect the blue filter to the high-pressure output port of the compressor. Ensure the filling hose is securely attached to the filter. Verify all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
3. Water Cooling System Setup: Place the water pump into an external bucket filled with clean water. Connect the clear water hoses from the compressor to the water pump, ensuring one hose is for water intake and the other for water return, creating a continuous cooling loop.
4. Power Connection: Connect the compressor's power cord to a suitable 110V power outlet. Ensure the water pump's power cord is also connected to its designated outlet on the compressor or a separate power source.
5. Pre-Run Check: Before starting, double-check all connections, oil levels, and ensure the water pump is submerged and ready to circulate water.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the compressor is set up, follow these steps for safe and effective operation:

5.1 Pre-Operation Check

• Confirm the oil level is at the red dot.
• Ensure the breathing rod is installed.
• Verify the water cooling system is properly connected and the pump is submerged in water.
• Check all high-pressure hose connections for tightness.

5.2 Filling Process

1. Connect Tank: Connect the filling hose to the tank or air rifle you intend to fill. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
2. Set Pressure: The compressor features an adjustable manometer. Set the desired auto-stop pressure using the control knob. The compressor will automatically stop when this pressure is reached.
3. Start Compressor: Turn on the main power switch. The water pump should start circulating water, and the compressor will begin to fill the tank.
4. Monitor Operation: Continuously monitor the pressure gauge and the digital temperature display. The compressor temperature should not exceed 85℃. If it approaches this limit, stop the compressor and allow it to cool down.
5. Filling Times: Approximate filling times are: 0.5 liters from 0-300 bar in about 3 minutes; 6.8 liters from 0-300 bar in about 45 minutes.
6. Stop and Bleed: Once the desired pressure is reached (or the auto-stop activates), turn off the compressor. Slowly open the bleed valve to release residual pressure from the hose before disconnecting the tank.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor.

• Oil Change: Change the compressor oil after the first 25 hours of use. Subsequently, check the oil level regularly and change it as needed, or every few months depending on usage. Use only recommended silicone compressor oil.
• Filter Replacement: The air filter cotton inside the blue filter housing should be checked and replaced regularly, especially if you notice reduced air quality or flow. Spare filter cottons are included in the replacement kit.
• Cooling System: Keep the cooling water clean and free of debris. Periodically check the water pump for proper function and clear any blockages in the hoses.
• Leak Checks: Regularly inspect all hose connections and seals for any signs of air or oil leaks. Tighten connections as necessary.
• General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the compressor clean and free of dust and dirt to ensure proper airflow for the fan cooling system.
