manual abstract
Open the valve by rotating the air tap (17) so it is in line with the air outlet (refer to the OPEN picture). To close the valve, rotate the air tap so it is facing to the right or the left side of the air valve (refer to the CLOSED picture). 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 minutes with no load and with the outlet valve open to ensure all parts are well lubricated. WARNING. Be aware that pressurised air will be discharged from the outlet 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 household power point and turn on. 3. To start the compressor, push the On/Off lever (3) downward so that the lever is in the horizontal position. OPEN CLOSED 4. To stop the compressor, lift the On/Off lever (3) to the vertical position. 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 pressure 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. All accessories are connected to the regulated air outlet (6). 4. The pressure of the regulated outlet, as shown on the regulated outlet pressure gauge (7), can be changed by turning the regulating knob (5). Note. To obtain the correct output reading on the regulated output gauge, the air must be flowing through the outlet. The regulating valve should be adjusted and the gauge read with the outlet valve open and the air being discharged from the regulated outlet through the accessory being used. To increase the air pressure, rotate the regulating valve clockwise. To decrease the pressure, rotate the regulating valve anti-clockwise. 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 correct pressure while air is being discharged from the outlet. 5. On completion of the task, i.e. when you have finished using the compressor, or when you are leaving the compressor unattended, turn off the compressor in the following way: • Set the on/off lever (3) to the off position. • Wait for the pressurised air to bleed from the release valve under the pressure switch cover (2). Note. You may hear a short air discharge for approximately 1/2 a second. This discharge only occurs if the compressor is actually running at the time, and not in idle. • Switch off the electrical power supply and remove the electrical plug. • Pull the ring on the safety valve (8) to ensure all the pressurised air is released from the tank, or open the drain cock (10) to release the pressure from the tank. To open the drain cock (10) rotate the valve ant-clockwise and to close the valve rotate it clockwise. ON OFF WARNINGS. 1. Never attempt to remove any part of the compressor whilst the tank is under pressure. 2. Never attempt to remove any electrical component whilst the compressor is connected to the power supply. Switch off the power and remove the electrical plug. 3. Do not adjust the safety valve. 4. Do not use an electrical extension cable. 5. If the release valve under the pressure switch cover (2) fails to operate when the On/Off lever (3) is set in the off position, switch the power supply off and determine the nature of the fault. 6. Ensure that the lubricating oil is clean and that the oil level is maintained at the mid point of the red circle in the oil level glass (16). 7. Take care when discharging air from the tank, i.e. from the safety valve (8), the drain cock (10) or the air outlet (6). Compressed air can be extremely dangerous. Take care; make sure that the discharge air does not cause dust, stones or any other foreign particles to be blown through the air and that the air is discharged in a safe manner. Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Suggested Remedy Motor will not run, running too slow or becoming excessively hot Power fault or supply voltage too low Check the power supply. Do not use an extension cord with an air compressor. Make sure that the compressor is plugged directly into a 240V household power point and not an extension cord or power board.
