IMPORTANT! The condensation
water from the pressure vessel will
contain residual oil.
Dispose of the condensation water in an environ-
mentally compatible manner at the appropriate
collection point.
8.3 Safety valve (5)
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.
Actuate the safety valve from time to time to en-
sure that it works when required. Pull the ring with
sufficient force until you can hear the compressed
air being released. Then release the ring again.
8.4 Check the oil level at regular intervals
(Figure 12)
You must be able to see that the oil level (4) is
between the red oil level check mark and the top
edge of the oil level window.
Changing the oil: Recommended hydraulic
oil: SAE 15W/40 or an alternative of the same
quality.
It should be refilled for the first time after 100 hours
of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained
and refilled after every 500 hours in service.
8.5 Changing the oil
Switch off the motor and pull the power plug out of
the socket-outlet. After letting off any air pressure
you can remove the oil drain plug (15) from the
compressor pump by unscrewing. To prevent the
oil escaping out of control, hold a small piece of
metal guttering underneath the drain plug to direct
the oil into a container.If any oil still remains inside,
tilt the compressor a little.
Take the old oil to an official old oil disposal
station.
If the oil ever escapes, fit the oil drainage screw

(14) back on. Top up with new oil through the oil
filler opening (12) until it comes up to the red mark
in the oil level window (4). Then fit the oil sealing
plug (12) again.
8.6 Cleaning the intake filter (1)
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn
in. It is essential to clean this filter after at least
every 300 hours in service. A clogged intake filter
will decrease the compressor.s performance dra-
matically. Remove the filter from the compressor
(fig.13-14) by unscrewing the thumb screw on
the air filter. You can then remove the filter from
the two halves of the plastic housing, tap it to
remove the dirt and then blast it down with low
pressure compressed air (approx. 3 bar) before
reinserting it.
8.7 Storage
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.
location which is not accessible to unauthorized
persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
