TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Model: SE 5K/6k (9.0cfm) Weight: 480 lbs (125kg) w/ 7.5 HP motor Dimensions: 44"L x 28"W x 35"H Construction: Air cooled, three stage, three cylinder high pressure compressor, all stainless steel interstage cooling Max. pressure: 340 bar (5000 psig) Approx.

2.2 Working System Ambient air, which must be free from exhaust fumes, is drawn through the intake filter and inlet valve into the 1st stage cylinder, where it is pre-compressed. A portion of the compression heat is dissipated through the valve head, piston, cylinder, crankcase and lubricating oil to the cooling airflow.

DANGER 2.3.3 Safety valves The safety valves prevent damage to the compressor by overpressure and are factory set at the following pressures: 1st stage: 113 psi (8 bar) 2nd stage: 725 psi (50 bar) 3rd stage: 10% above filling pressure In case a safety valve blows, do not adjust to a higher pressure but check for the cause.

Make use of the intake hose and secure it in such a way as to ensure that no engine exhaust fumes are taken in. Filling hoses must be in perfect condition, connecting threads faultless. Particular attention should be paid to damage of the connecting fittings. If the rubber is scored, the hose must not be used any longer because water can enter and attack the wire gauze.

4.2 Starting-up Before starting engine check oil level in the crankcase of the horizontally placed compressor ( § 4.8.1) Use MAXLUBE #501 synthetic oil. Starting of the engine: Before starting electric motors, check voltage. Electric connections must comply with the respective regulations.
Page 11
4.4 Shutdown procedure On compressors using gasoline drive, close hand lever on carburetor and turn "On/Off" switch off. Close fuel cylinder valve and drain condensate out of compressor. In addition, check oil level of compressor, gasoline level in engine tank and carry out current service (§ 4.8). 4.5 Preparation for extended storage Prior to extended storage, the compressor should run a few minutes against a small backpressure of approximately 300PSI (20 bar), by partly closing filling valve in order to prevent possibility of corrosion.

WARNING 4.8.2 Safety valve control The final safety valve protects the 3rd stage and the high-pressure cylinders and is factory set to 10% above the requested filling pressure. The safety valve of the 3rd stage must be checked for proper functioning periodically.

Important for filter maintenance: Service only when unit is turned off and totally depressurized. Check filter case, threads and O-rings and maintain or replace if necessary. It is recommended to record the quantity of pressure cylinders filled in order to reassure that the precise replacement intervals are kept.

Maintenance after operating hours: Hours Recommended Service Check valve heads. Intake piping must be hand warm; outlet piping must be hot (§2.2) First oil change (§4.8.1) check tension of v-belt (§4.8.3) Maintenance of intake filter (§4.8.4) Check tension of v-belts (§4.8.3) Check fixation of cooler and belt guard (§4.8.9) Oil change (§4.8.1) Check tension of v-belt (§4.8.3)
