it with compressed air at low pressure.
● We recommend that you clean the appliance immedi-
ately after you use it.
● Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents;
these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the ap-
pliance. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of
the appliance.
● 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.
6.2 Condensation water
Periodically (or after completing work if for more than an
hour), drain the condensate that forms inside the pressure
vessel due to the humidity in the air (fig. 12) in order to
protect the reservoir from rust and so as not to restrict its
capacity. By opening the drain valve (ref. 11) (on the bot-
tom of the pressure vessel).
Warning!
The condensation water from the pressure vessel
will contain residual oil. Dispose of the condensa-
tion water in an environmentally compatible man-
ner at the appropriate collection point.
6.3 Safety valve (ref. 10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted
pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust
the safety valve or remove its seal.
6.4 Check the oil level at regular intervals
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface. The
oil level must be between the two marks MAX and MIN on
the oil oil level window (Fig. 13 / ref. 16).
Changing the oil: Use SAE 40 (for cold climates, SAE 20
is recommended). Never mix different grade oils. If the oil
changes color (whitish = presence of water; dark = over-
heated), it is good practice to replace the oil immediately.

It should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours of op-
eration. Thereafter the oil should be drained and refilled
after every 300 hours in service. After topping up, tighten
the plug (ref. 14) making sure that there are no leaks dur-
ing use (fig. 14a-14b). Once a week, check the oil level to
assure lubrication in time.
6.5 Changing the oil
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the
socket. After releasing any air pressure you can unscrew
the oil drainage screw (ref. 15) from the compressor pump.
To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled man-
ner, hold a small metal chute under the opening and collect
the oil in a vessel. If the oil does not drain out completely,
we recommend tilting the compressor slightly.
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil.
When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drainage screw
(ref. 15). Fill new oil through the oil filler opening (ref. 14)
until it comes up to the required level. Then replace the oil
sealing plug (ref. 14).
6.6 Retensioning the V-belt (Figs. 15-18)
● Pull out the power plug and remove the safety guard for
the V-belt.
● Slacken the four motor fixing screws.
● Shift the motor until the V-belt is tensioned to the point
where it can still be depressed by approx. 1-2 cm at the
longest free position.
● Retighten the motor fixing screws and refit the safety
guard for the V-belt.
6.7 Tightening of head tension rods
● Check that all screws (in particular those of the head of
the unit) are tightly drawn up (fig. 19).
● The control must be performed before the first start-up
of the compressor and subsequently before the first in-
tensive use in order to restore the correct closing torque
