Anleitung Euro 2200-1 Einhell 18.07.2003 11:39 Uhr Seite 910 Points to note when setting up the compressor Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the company which delivered the compressor. Before you put the compressor into operation, check the oil level in the compressor pump. 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° 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. Safety instructions for working with compressed air and paint sprayers Important! Note the pertinent accident prevent regulations in force in your area! Compressors and lines reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid contact! Risk of burns! Gases or vapours drawn in by the compressor have to be kept free of constituents that may cause fire or explosions inside the compressor. When you disconnect the hose coupling, hold the coupling element in your hand to prevent injury from the whiplashing hose. Wear goggles when working with the blow-out gun. Injuries may easily result from foreign bodies and blasted parts. Never point the blow-out gun at other persons and never use it to clean clothes that are still being worn. Note the safety instructions for paint spraying! Important! Note the pertinent accident prevent regulations in force in your area! Never process paints or solvents with a flash point below 21°C. Never heat paints or solvents. It is imperative to use filtering equipment (face masks) when processing harmful liquids. Note also the information concerning safety precautions published by the manufacturers of these liquids.

It is always imperative to observe the regulations of your local police authorities when spraying combustible or hazardous substances. Never process media such as white petroleum spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride with the PVC pressure hose (reduced life span). Operation of pressure vessels in accordance with the pertinent pressure vessel regulations (e.g. Section 13 of the German Pressure Vessel Act)

1. An operator of a pressure

vessel is required to keep the pressure vessel in good working order, to operate it properly, to supervise its use, to carry out essential maintenance and repair work immediately, and to introduce essential safety measures according to requirements.

2. The supervisory authorities

may order essential safeguards from case to case.

3. A pressure vessel may not be

operated if it has any defects which constitute a danger to employees or third parties.

4. If pressure vessels of groups

III, IV, VI and VII suffer damage to any pressure-bearing walls, resulting in them being taken out of operation in accordance with Section 13 Paragraph 3 of the German Pressure Vessel Act, the operator has to notify the supervisory authorities and discuss what action is to be taken. Putting the compressor into operation Assembling the wheels (1): Fit the wheels as shown in Figure 1. Assembling the rubber buffer Fit the supplied rubber buffer to the support foot as shown in Figure 2. Replacing the oil filter and installing the air filter (fig. 3) Use a screwdriver to remove the oil filler plug and insert the supplied stopper (2) in the opening. Important! Check the oil level. Screw the air filter (1) into the hole in the side of the compressor pump. Connecting to the power supply: The EURO 2200 compressor is equipped with a power cable and an earthing-pin plug for connection to any 230 V ~ 50 Hz earthing-contact socket outlet with a 16 A fuse. Long supply lines, extensions, cable reels and similar cause voltage dips and may prevent the motor from starting. Sluggishness makes starting difficult at low temperatures under freezing point (0°C).

Anleitung Euro 2200-1 Einhell 18.07.2003 11:39 Uhr Seite 1112 Maintenance and cleaning Condensation water Let out the condensation water daily by opening the drain valve (bottom of the pressure vessel). Safety valve The safety valve is set to the maximum pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or to remove its lead seal. Regular oil level checks The level of oil has to be visible in the sight-glass between the red check-point mark and the upper edge of the sight-glass. Changing the oil: Recommended grade SAE 15W/40 or equivalent. The first oil change should be carried out after 100 operating hours. Thereafter you should drain the oil and replace it with new oil at intervals of 500 operating hours. 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 from the compressor pump by un- screwing. 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. When the old oil has run out, screw the oil drain plug/sight- glass back in place. Use a screwdriver to remove the cap of the oil filler plug and fill in oil until the level of oil in the sight-glass reaches the red mark. Then put the cap back on the oil filler plug. 1 Filter 2 Oil filler plug 3 Oil drain plug 4 sight-glass Cleaning the intake filter The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn into the machine. This filter has to be cleaned at intervals of no longer than 300 operating hours. A clogged intake filter has a considerable negative effect on the compressor’s power. The filter can be removed as shown in Figure 4. Wash out the filter with petroleum ether and reinsert. Caution! Wait until the compressor has cooled completely! Risk of burns! Setting the pressure switch The pressure switch is set at the factory. Switch-on pressure 5 bar Switch-off pressure 8 bar To adjust the differential pressure, proceed as follows: Take the cover hood off the pressure switch (unscrew the screw plug). Use an 8 mm socket wrench on screw 1 to adjust the differential pressure DP. Turn clockwise to increase the differential pressure and raise the switch-off pressure. Turn anticlockwise to decrease the differential pressure and lower the switch-off pressure. Possible causes of machine failure Overloading of the motor and hence triggering of the overload circuit-breaker may result from: An excessively high mains voltage Excessively high ambient temperatures and an insufficient air supply Defective compressor valves or a leaking non-return valve A low level of oil, sluggish connecting rod bearings Leave a.c. motors enough time to cool off before switching on again. Avoid touching hot components and pipe lines.
