Racewell HD
THE COMPRESSOR
We recommend a 12cfm belt driven compressor, if the compressor is too small the
Racewell will run slowly and may not operate properly
The compressor does not need to be close to the Racewell in fact having it at some
distance reduces noise levels in the working area It is important to run compressors in a
well ventilated area as close as possible to a main supply near a switchboard - this avoids
the use of leads which can affect the power input From time to time the oil level on the
dipstick should be checked and the water drained from the air reservoir
Please Note: When turning the compressor on or off use the switch on the compressor.
Do not turn on or off at the power source switch.
This applies to all compressors, because air is not discharged, the compressor is being asked to start
under load and this can burn out its capacitor
ATTACHING THE AIR FITTINGS AND COMPRESSOR HOOK UP
Pipe the air to the compressor to the unit via standard 15mm (1/2 inch) alkathene water
line We have some units working with the compressor up to 2kms from the work site

to the power source The airline from the compressor (female end) can now be plugged
into the male fitting on the underside of the sheep unit This is on the same side as the
power pack was plugged in It is just inside the frame, toward the back

carefully tilt the unit Disconnect the air from the sheep unit You now have access under
