If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Assembly The handle of the AC40L model must be fitted in the following manner: 1. Loosen the grub screw in each of the handle fixing holes. 2. Insert the two ends of the handle into the fixing holes. 3. Tighten the grub screws to secure the handle in place. Wheels Fit the wheels as follows: • for the 24 litre compressor, push each wheel firmly onto the axle until it "snaps" into position. • for the 40 litre compressor, first insert an axle pin through the wheel and then through the hole in the bracket under the tank. Next, fit the spacer on the axle pin followed by the flat washer, split washer and nut. Tighten the nut. Repeat for the second wheel. Rubber feet Fit the two rubber feet on the bracket on the front underside of the tank using the screws, washers and nuts supplied. Warning. The air compressor must be filled with oil before first use. To prevent possible spillage of oil during transport, the compressor oil is supplied in a separate container. It must be added to the compressor before turning the compressor on. Failure to add the oil will cause non-repairable damage to the compressor and will void the warranty. 1. Remove the plastic oil filling cap (15) located on the top of the crank case of the compressor housing. 2. Use the oil supplied to fill the crank case until the oil level as seen in the oil level glass (17) is up to the mid point of the red circle. 3. Replace the oil filling cap (15). Ensure the cap is fully fitted and firmly in position. 10 Warning. The air filter must be added before first use. Failure to fit the air filter will damage the compressor and will void the warranty. 4. Remove the plastic air filter plug from the head of the compressor. 5. Carefully screw the air filter assembly (16) into the threaded hole taking care not to cross the thread. 6. Tighten firmly by hand only. Pre-start routine 1. Ensure that the location for the compressor is clean, dry and well ventilated. 2. Ensure the crank case has been filled with oil and is at the correct level, and the air filter has been fitted. 3. Open the direct output valve (4) and the regulated output valve (7). 4. Start the compressor by following the procedure in the section “To start and stop the compressor”. For the first time of operation, run the compressor for 10 min with no load to ensure all parts are well lubricated. Warning. Be aware that presurised air will be discharged from the two outlets and care should be taken that this discharge is not directed towards you the operator, or other persons within the area. To start & stop the compressor 1. Check the rating label on the compressor indicates 230V–240V. 2. Plug in the mains cable of the compressor to a standard 240V houshold power point and turn on. 3. To start the compressor, lift the On/Off switch (3) on the pressure switch cover (2). 4. To stop the compressor, push the On/Off switch (3) down. Open the valve by sliding the outer sleeve fully forward. To close the valve, slide the outer sleeve backward towards the compressor. 11 Operation 1. The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure switch located under the pressure switch cover (2). When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch activates and the motor is switched off. The pressure then decreases as the air is used by the connected tool until the set minimum is reached after which the pressure switch causes the motor to switch on again. The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during use of the compressor the motor will start and stop under the influence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank. The motor will start without any warning. 2. The maximum and minimum pressures are factory set and the operator should not try to change them. 3. You can connect an accessory to either the direct outlet valve (4) and/or the regulated outlet valve (7). The regulated outlet is the one on the left when you face the front of the compressor. 4. The pressure of the regulated outlet [as shown on the regulated outlet pressure gauge (8)] can be changed by turning the regulating knob (6). Rotate the knob clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to decrease pressure. Note. To obtain the correct output reading on the regulated output gauge, the air must be flowing through the outlet. Note. If you do not allow the air to discharge while you are setting the regulator, the pressure as indicated on the regulated outlet gauge will be incorrect. This gauge ONLY indicates the corr...
