Wait until the equipment has cooled down completely! Risk of burns! m Attention! Always depressurize the equipment before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance 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 aggressive cleaning agents or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can penetrate the device interior.

• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compres- sor with water, solvents or the like.

11.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel (fig. 1)

Attention! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (8), drain off the condensed water by opening the drain valve (10) each time after using. Release the vessel pressure first (see 11.8.1). Open the drain screw by turning counter-clockwise (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. m Attention! The condensed water from the pressure vessel will contain re- sidual oil. Dispose of the condensed water in an environmen- tally compatible manner at a suitable collection point.

11.3 Safety valve (fig. 3)

The safety valve (19) has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve or remove the connection lock (19.2) between the exhaust nut (19.1) and its cap (19.3). Actuate the safety valve every 30 operating hours but at least 3 times a year, to ensure that it works when required. Turn the perforated exhaust nut (19.1) counterclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut (19.1) to open the safety valve outlet. Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust nut clockwise again.

11.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals

(fig. 10) Place the compressor on a level and straight surface. The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the oil-level window (18). Oil change: recommended oil: SAE 15W 40 or equivalent. The original oil filling must be changed after 100 hours in opera- tion; thereafter the oil must be drained and replaced with new oil after every 500 hours in operation.

11.5 Changing the oil (fig. 1, 9, 10)

Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the socket. Remove the oil sealing plug (16). After releasing any air pres- sure you can unscrew the oil drain plug (12) from the compres- sor pump (13). To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled man- ner, hold a small metal chute under the opening and col- lect the oil in a vessel. If the oil does not drain out com- pletely, we recommend tilting the compressor slightly. When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drain plug (12).18 GB/IE Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil. To fill in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the compres- sor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil through the oil filler opening (20) until it comes up to the maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on the oil-level window (18) (fig. 10). Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity. Overfilling the equipment may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing plug (16) into the oil filler opening (20).

11.6 Cleaning the intake filter (fig. 3, 11, 12)

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 dramatically. Open the thumb screw (E) to the remove the intake filter. Then pull off the filter cover (C). Now you can remove the air filter (F) and the filter housing (D). Carefully tap out the air filter, filter cover and filter housing. Then blow out these parts with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) and reinstall in reverse order.
