The compressor is designed to generate com- pressed air for compressed-air driven tools which can be driven with an air volume of up to approx. 270 l/min (e.g. tire infl ator, blow-out pistol and paint spray gun). Due to the limited air output it is not possible to use the compressor to drive tools with very high air consumption (for example or- bital sanders, rod grinders and hammer screwdri- vers). The equipment 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 manufac- turer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed 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.

6. Before starting the

equipment Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Check the equipment for damage which may have occurred in transit. Report any damage immediately to the transport company which was used to deliver the compressor.

Install the compressor near the point of con- sumption.

Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust- free.

Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet room.

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, vapors, 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.

The oil level in the compressor pump has to be checked before putting the equipment into operation (see 9.4). Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 50Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 50 17.01.13 14:5317.01.13 14:53GB

7. Assembly and starting

Important! Remove the transportation braces (bet- ween the compressor pump and clad- ding, see Fig. 7) prior to initial start-up. If the transportation braces are not re- moved, heat can build up and cause the compressor to ignite. Important! You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the fi rst time! You will require the following tools for assembly and installation: 2 x open-ended wrench size 13 mm (not inclu- ded)

7.1 Fitting the wheels (11)

Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Figure 5.

7.2 Fitting the supporting foot (8)

Fit the supplied supporting foot as shown in Figure

Remove the transportation stop (B) and screw the air fi lter (15) to the equipment. (Fig. 7, 8).

7.4 Changing the transportation cover (A)

Remove the transportation cover from the oil fi ller opening (21) and insert the supplied oil sealing plug (16) into the oil fi ller opening. (Fig. 9, 10.)

7.5 Mains connection

The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected to any 230V ~ 50 Hz shock-proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse.

Before you use the machine, make sure that the mains voltage is the same as the operating voltage (see the rating plate).

Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor start-up.

At low temperatures below +5°C, sluggish- ness may make starting difficult or impossible.

7.6 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2)

Pull the ON/OFF switch (17) upwards to switch on the compressor. To switch off the compressor, press the ON/OFF switch down.

7.7 Setting the pressure (Fig. 1-3)

Use the pressure regulator (3) to set the pres- sure on the pressure gauge (5).

The set pressure can be drawn from the quick- lock coupling (4).

The vessel pressure can be read off the pres- sure gauge (6).

The vessel pressure is drawn from the quick- lock coupling (20).

7.8 Setting the pressure switch (Fig. 1)

The pressure switch (2) is set at the factory. Cut-in pressure approx. 6 bar Cut-out pressure approx. 8 bar

7.9 Fitting the compressed air hose

(Fig. 1, 3) Use the compressed air hose (14) if you intend to carry out work at a greater distance from the compressor. To do so, connect the nipple (H) on the compressed air hose to one of the quick- release couplings (4, 20). Then attach the com- pressed air tool to the quick-release coupling (G) on the compressed air hose.

8. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger. Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 51Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 51 17.01.13 14:5317.01.13 14:53GB

9. Cleaning, maintenance,

ordering of spare parts and storage Important! Pull out the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the equipment. Risk of injury from electric shock! Important! Wait until the equipment has cooled down completely! Risk of burns! Important! Always depressurize the equipment be- fore carrying out any cleaning and main- tenance work! Risk of injury!

Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the equipment immediately after you use it.

Clean the equipment 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 equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the interior of the equipment.

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.

9.2 Maintenance work on the pressure

vessel (Fig. 1) Important! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (7), drain off the condensed water by opening the drain valve (9) each time after using. Release the vessel pressure fi rst (see 9.7.1). Open the drain screw by turning counter-clock- wise (looking at the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that all the condensed water can run out of the pressure vessel. Then close the drain screw again (turn it clockwise). Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using. Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover any damage, then please contact the customer service workshop. Important! The condensed water from the pressure vessel will contain residual oil. Dispose of the condensed water in an environ- mentally compatible manner at a suitable collection point.

9.3 Safety valve (Figure 3)

The safety valve (19) 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 ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring with suffi cient force until you can hear the com- pressed air being released. Then release the ring again.

9.4 Checking the oil level at regular inter-

vals (Figure 11) Place the compressor on a level and straight sur- face. The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the oil level window (Fig. 18). Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equiva- lent. The original oil fi lling must be changed after 100 hours in operation; thereafter the oil must be drained and replaced with new oil after every 500 hours in operation.

9.5 Changing the oil (Figure 1,10, 11)

Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the socket. After releasing any air pressure you can unscrew the oil drain plug (12) from the com- pressor pump (13). To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled manner, 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. When the oil has drained out, refi t the oil drain plug (12). Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 52Anleitung_4010367_LB_CH.indb 52 17.01.13 14:5317.01.13 14:53GB Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil. To fi ll in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the compressor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil through the oil fi ller opening (21) until it comes up to the maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on the oil level window (18) (Figure 11). Do not exceed the maximum fi lling quantity. Overfi lling the equipment may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing plug (16) into the oil fi ller opening (21).

9.6 Cleaning the intake fi lter

(Fig. 3, 12, 13) The intake fi lter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to clean this fi lter after at least every 300 hours in service. A clogged intake fi lter will decrease the compressor’s perfor- mance dramatically. Open the thumb screw (E) to the remove the intake fi lter. Then pull off the fi lter cover (C). Now you can remove the air fi lter (F) and the fi lter housing (D). Carefully tap out the air fi lter, fi lter cover and fi lter housing. Then blow out these parts with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) and reinstall in reverse order.

Important! Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equipment and all connected pneuma- tic 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. Important! Store the compressor only in a dry lo- cation which is not accessible to unau- thorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted! Oil may leak out!

9.7.1 Releasing excess pressure

Release the excess pressure by switching off the compressor and using the compressed air which is still left in the pressure vessel, e.g. with a com- pressed air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-out pistol.
