10.3 Safety valve (Fig. 1/Pos. 15)
The safety valve (15) 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 (15.2) between the exhaust nut (15.1)
and its cap (15.3). 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 ex-
haust nut (15.1) counterclockwise to open it and use
your hands to pull the valve rod outwards over the
perforated exhaust nut (15.1) to open the safety valve
outlet. Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then,
tighten the exhaust nut clockwise again.
10.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals
(fig. 6)
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 (17).
Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equiva-
lent.
The original oil filling must be changed after 10 hours
in operation; thereafter the oil must be drained and
replaced with new oil after every 50 hours in opera-
tion.
10.5 Changing the oil (Figure 6)
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 (18) from the compressor
pump.
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 compres-
sor slightly. When the oil has drained out, re fit the oil
drain plug (18).
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
compressor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil
through the oil filler opening until it comes up to the
maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on the
oil level window (17) (Fig. 6 pos. 17.1). Do not exceed
the maximum filling quantity. Overfilling the equip-
ment may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing
plug (12) into the oil filler opening.
10.6 Cleaning the intake filter (Fig. 8 - 9)
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 de-
crease the compressor's performance dramatically.
Then pull off the filter cover (K). Now you can remove
the air filter (L) and the filter housing (M). 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.

10.7 Storage
m Important!
Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equip-
ment and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch
off the compressor and make sure that it is se-
cured in such a way that it cannot be started up
again by any unauthorized person.
m Important!
Store the compressor only in a dry location
which is not accessible to unauthorized per-
sons. Always store upright, never tilted!
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 compressed
air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-out pistol.

11. Disposal and recycling
The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent it
from being damaged in transit. The raw materials in
this packaging can be reused or recycled. The equip-
ment and its accessories are made of various types
of material, such as metal and plastic. Defective com-
ponents must be disposed of as special waste. Ask
your dealer or your local council.
Old devices must not be disposed of with house-
hold waste!
This symbol indicates that this product must not
be disposed of together with domestic waste in
compliance with the Directive (2012/19/EU)
pertaining to waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE). This product must be disposed of
at a designated collection point. This can occur, for ex-
ample, by handing it in at an authorised collecting point
for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. Improper handling of waste equipment
may have negative consequences for the environment
and human health due to potentially hazardous sub-
stances that are often contained in electrical and elec-
tronic equipment. By properly disposing of this prod-
uct, you are also contributing to the effective use of
natural resources. You can obtain information on col-
lection points for waste equipment from your municipal
administration, public waste disposal authority, an au-
thorised body for the disposal of waste electrical and
electronic equipment or your waste disposal company.
