WARNING! DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the pre-set pressure switch or safety valve.
4.5.2. Should there appear to be any loss of efficiency when using the compressor, ensure first that the air tool is clean and functioning
properly. If the air tool is satisfactory then refer to the trouble shooting guide.
4.6.
DO NOT leave the compressor running for any length of time with the air tool attached, but not being used. If there is a pause in the
work, switch the compressor off. If the motor over-heats, the thermal cut-out will operate and cut the motor out. When the temperature
has returned to normal, the motor will re-start automatically.
4.7.
These compressors are designed with a 30% duty cycle. This means that the machines should not be used for more than 20 minutes
continuously, with a rest period of 40 minutes.
4.8.
If the operating note of the compressor changes, there may be a blockage within the tool, or the air hose may be pinched. The unit
should be switched off immediately, and the source of the blockage investigated and eliminated, before re-starting.
4.9.
When work is complete, switch the compressor off by pushing the red on/off switch inwards.
4.9.1. operate the air tool to clear any pressure left in the air hose.
4.9.2. Disconnect the air tool from the compressor.
4.9.3. open the drain tap at the bottom of the tank (figs.2 & 3) briefly to release any trapped moisture. This helps prevent corrosion on the
inside of the tank. Close drain tap.
4.10.
If it is intended to store the compressor away, allow it to cool before storing it carefully in a safe, dry, dust free, childproof location.
5. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Before carrying out any maintenance, switch compressor off, unplug it from the mains electricity supply, depressurise the
tank and allow unit to fully cool down.
5.1.
Keep the compressor clean and free of dust. Do not use cleaning agents. Wipe the compressor using a slightly dampened cloth and
blow it over with compressed air, if available.
5.2.
Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear. DO NOT allow any extraneous material to enter the unit via any of the ventilation
openings.
5.3.
To help prevent corrosion to the tank, drain it on a regular basis by opening the drain tap at the bottom of the tank, after draining
ensure the drain tap is fully closed.
5.4.
To examine the internal condition of the tank: unplug from the mains supply, release
pressure by means of the drain tap. Remove drain tap from tank and inspect by using an
borescope inserted through the drain tap boss.
5.5.
The troubleshooting guide below is intended to give an indication of the type of fault
which may develop with the compressor over a long period of service. The chart is
not intended as a guide on how to repair the fault, it is recommended that the
compressor is returned to an authorised service agent for rectification of serious faults.
5.6.
IMPORTANT WARNING -
Air contaminants taken into the compressor will affect optimum performance.
Example: Body filler dust or paint overspray will clog the pump intake filter and may
cause internal damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts damaged
by any type of contamination will not be covered by warranty.
