Familiarize yourself with the main components of your compressor. Refer to Figure 1 for an overview of the unit's dimensions and general layout.
Assemblea
- Col·loca les rodes: Securely attach the wheels to the compressor base using the provided hardware.
- Enganxa la nansa: Mount the transport handle to the designated points on the compressor body.
- Posicionament: Place the compressor on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
Connexió elèctrica
Connect the compressor to a suitable grounded power outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the voltage and frequency specifications of the compressor (typically 230V, 50Hz for this model). The unit is fitted with a 3-pin plug.
Initial Run-in Procedure
Before first use, or after extended storage, perform a brief run-in:
- Open the air outlet valve completely to allow air to escape freely.
- Switch on the compressor and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes without building pressure. This helps to lubricate internal components.
- Switch off the compressor and close the air outlet valve.
Instruccions de funcionament
Controls and Gauges

Figura 2: Primer pla view of the twin pressure gauges. One gauge displays the tank pressure, and the other displays the regulated working pressure.

Figura 3: The pressure cut-out switch (black box with yellow warning label) and the red pressure regulator knob, along with the quick-connect air outlet.
- Interruptor de pressió: The black box (Figure 3) automatically turns the compressor on and off to maintain tank pressure.
- Manòmetre de pressió del dipòsit: Displays the current pressure inside the air tank (Figure 2).
- Working Pressure Gauge: Displays the pressure of the air being supplied to your tools, adjustable via the regulator (Figure 2).
- Regulador de pressió: The red knob (Figure 3) allows you to adjust the working pressure. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Quick-Connect Air Outlet: For attaching air hoses and tools (Figure 3).
Engegar el compressor
- Assegureu-vos que la vàlvula de drenatge a la part inferior del dipòsit estigui tancada.
- Plug the compressor into a suitable power outlet.
- Turn the main power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will start to build pressure.
- Once the tank reaches its maximum pressure, the compressor will automatically shut off.
Connecting and Using Air Tools
- Connect your air hose to the quick-connect air outlet.
- Attach your air tool to the other end of the hose.
- Adjust the working pressure using the red regulator knob to suit the requirements of your air tool. Monitor the working pressure gauge.
- Begin using your air tool. The compressor will cycle on and off automatically to maintain pressure as needed.
Tancant
- Gireu l'interruptor principal a la posició "OFF".
- Desconnecteu la mànega d'aire i les eines.
- Slowly open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank to release any condensed moisture and residual air pressure. Close the valve once the tank is empty.
Manteniment
Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el funcionament segur del compressor d'aire.
Diari/Després de cada ús
- Escorreu el condensat: After each use, or daily if used frequently, open the drain valve at the bottom of the air tank to release accumulated moisture. This prevents rust and corrosion inside the tank.
Weekly/Monthly
- Inspect Air Filter: Check the air filter for dirt and debris. Clean or replace if necessary to ensure proper airflow to the pump.
- Comproveu si hi ha fuites: Listen for any air leaks around fittings, hoses, and valves. Tighten connections as needed. A soapy water solution can help identify small leaks.
- Inspeccioneu les mànegues i els accessoris: Examine air hoses for cracks, cuts, or wear. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Ensure all quick-connect fittings are functioning correctly.
- Inspeccioneu el cable d'alimentació: Check the power cord for any damage, fraying, or exposed wires.
Anualment
- Inspecció del tanc: Visually inspect the air tank for any signs of external corrosion, dents, or damage. If any damage is found, do not use the compressor and seek professional inspection.
- Comprovació de la vàlvula de seguretat: Briefly pull the ring on the safety relief valve to ensure it operates freely and reseats properly.
For any maintenance beyond these basic steps, it is recommended to consult a qualified service technician.
