2. FEATURES (Pic. 1)
A. I/O Switch: The I/O switch is the activation mechanism that is
used to start and stop the compressor. When the switch is "On",
the motor and pump will compress air until tank pressure reaches
the upper limit of the factory set operating pressure. When
tank pressure falls below the factory set "cut in" pressure, the
compressor will again automatically start to compress air.
B. Regulated Pressure Gauge: The regulated pressure gauge
indicates the amount of pressure that is allowed into the discharge
line according to the setting of the regulator.
C. Regulator Knob: The regulator knob is used to adjust the air
pressure that is available at the discharge line. The discharge
air pressure is increased by turning the knob clockwise and
decreased by turning the knob counter clockwise.
D. Drain Valve: Ball style valve that drains moisture from the tank
when opened.
E. Quick Coupler: The quick coupler is used to connect the airline
to your tool.
F. Safety valve: The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization
of the air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function
unless tank pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to
adjust or eliminate this safety device.
Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this
device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized
Service Center.
G. Handle for lifting/moving.
H. Rubber foot.
I. Intake air filter.

4. SCOPE OF USE
The compressor is designed for generating compressed air for tools
operated by compressed air.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use
in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will
be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial
businesses or for equivalent purposes.
The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other
use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not
the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind
caused as a result of this.
5. ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be electrically grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock
by providing an escape wire for electrical current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
5.1 Connection of the mains plug
Important!
The wires in the mains lead fitted to this product are coloured in
accordance with the code shown in fig. 5.
● The 3 pin plug must comply to BS1363/A.
● Fuse must comply to BS1362.
If for any reason the 13 amp plug fitted to this product requires replacement
it must be wired in accordance with the following instruction:
Do not connect the brown (live) or blue (neutral) to the earth pin
marked 'E'
on the 3 pin plug.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked Neutral (N). Connect
the Brown wire to the terminal marked Live (L). Connect the Yellow
& Green wire to the terminal marked Earth (E). Ensure that the outer
insulation is gripped by the cord grip and that the wires are not trapped
when replacing the plug cover. The mains lead on this product is fitted
with a 13 amp (BS1363/A) plug. A 13 amp (BS1362) fuse must be
fitted in the plug.
If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this product except those
referred to in the manual. Always refer servicing to qualified service
personnel. Never remove any part of the casing unless qualified to do
so; this unit contains dangerous voltages.
Warning!
For your protection if this product is to be used outdoors it should not
be exposed to rain or used in damp locations. Do not place the product
on damp surfaces, use a workbench if available. For added protection
use a suitable residual current device (R.C.D.) at the socket outlet.
Note:
If the mains cable requires replacing it must be replaced with
an identical one and fitted by a qualified person.
6. PRE-START PROCEDURES
● Examine the machine for signs of transport damage. Report any
damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor.
● Verify that the tanks have been drained and are clear of any moisture
or dirt.
● The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
● Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
● Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
● Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
● The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good
ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There
must be no dust, acids, vapours, 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.
6.1 Fitting the air filter (if not already assembled)
Remove the transportation stop with a screwdriver or similar and
screw the air filter (ref. I) securely to the equipment (Fig. 2a-2b).
If supplied, insert the suction tube inside the filter cover (Fig. 2c).
7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 I/O switch (On/Off) (ref. A)
To switch on the equipment set the On/Off switch (ref. A) to position I.
Move the On/Off switch (ref. A) to position O to switch off the
equipment.
7.2 Adjusting the pressure
● You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge (ref. B) using the
pressure regulator (ref. C).
● The set pressure can be taken from the quicklock coupling (ref. E).
7.3 Setting the pressure switch
The pressure switch is set at the factory.
● When the upper calibration value (set by the manufacturer) has been
reached, the compressor stops.
When air is used, the compressor restarts automatically when the
lower calibration value is reached.
● The compressor continues to operate according to this automatic
cycle until the I/O switch is turned off.
When you have finished your work, switch off the compressor, drain
the compressed air receiver using the accessory connected (for
example, blowing the gun off).
