Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the supply voltage.

• Check the equipment for damage which may have occurred in transit. Report any damage immediately to the transport company which was used to deliver the compressor.
• Install the compressor in the vicinity of the point of consumption.
• Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension cables).
• Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust-free.
• Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet room.
• The compressor may be used only in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5 °C to 40 °C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inflammable gases in the room.
• The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.
• Operate the equipment only on a firm, level surface.
• Use flexible hoses in order to prevent transmitting unacceptable loads to the pipeline system at the connection between the compressor system and the pipeline system.
• It is essential to use separators, traps and drains which process the liquids produced by the compressor before the compressor system is put into operation.
• Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable (e.g. a wire rope).

Assembly and start-up

Important!
You must fully assemble the equipment before using it for the first time.

Fitting the wheels (3)
Fit the supplied wheels (3) as shown in figure 5.

Installing the accessory brackets (16)
Screw the two accessory brackets to the device as shown in Figure 6.

Mains connection

• The motor is fitted with an overload switch (Fig. 2/Item 15). If the compressor overloads, the overload switch will switch off the equipment automatically to protect the compressor from overheating. If the overload switch triggers, switch off the compressor using the ON/OFF switch (8) and wait until the compressor cools down. Then press the overload switch (15) and restart the compressor.
• Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up.
• At low temperatures below +5° C, sluggishness may make starting difficult or impossible.

On/Off switch (8)
To switch on the compressor, pull out the On/Off switch (8).
To switch off the compressor, press the On/Off switch (8) in again. (Fig. 2)

Adjusting the pressure (Fig. 1,2)

• You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7).
• The set pressure can be taken from the quick-lock coupling (5).

Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is set at the factory. Cut-in pressure approx. 8 bar
Cut-out pressure approx. 10 bar

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
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.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Disconnect the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work!

Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of burns!

• Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.
• After use, always switch off the equipment immediately and pull out the power plug.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing 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 device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
• 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.

Condensed water (Fig. 1)
Important! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (2), drain off the condensed water by opening the drainage cock (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.

Safety valve (10)
The safety valve is set to the maximum permissible pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal. It should be pressed from time to time to check the function. To check the safety valve, carefully unscrew the screw cap while the boiler is pressurized. When opening the cap, air will escape at the valve. After you have opened the screw cap, screw it back on completely.

Cleaning the intake filter (1)
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt from being sucked in. It is necessary to clean this fi lter at least every 300 hours of operation. A clogged in-take filter significantly affects the performance of the compressor. First remove the cover by sliding it up, then open the filter half (Fig. 7, 7a). Then blow out all parts of the filter with compressed air at low pressure (approx. 3 bar) and assemble the fi lter in reverse order. When cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).

Storage

Warning!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person.

Warning!
Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!

Transport

• Transport the equipment only by carrying it by the transport handle.
• Protect the equipment against unexpected knocks and vibrations.

Possible causes of failure

Problem	Cause	Solution
The compressor does not start	No supply voltage. Insufficient supply voltage.	Check the cable, power plug, fuse and socket-outlet. Make sure that the extension cable is not too long. Use an extension cable with large enough wires cross-sections. Do not use at an outside temperature below +5° C. Allow the motor to cool down. If necessary, remedy the cause of the overheating.
	3. Outside temperature is too low
	4. Motor is overheated
The compressor starts but there is no pressure	Leak in the non-return valve (14) The seals are damaged. The drainage cock for condensation water has a leak.	Replace non-return valve (14) Check the seals and have any damaged seals replaced by a service center. Check the drainage cock and replace if necessary.
The compressor starts, pressure is shown on the pressure gauge, but the tools do not start.	Loose hose connections.  Leak in a quick-lock coupling.  Insufficient pressure set on the pressure regulator.	Check the compressed air hose and tools and replace if necessary. Check the quick-lock coupling and replace if necessary. Increase the set pressure with the pressure regulator (3).
