WARNiNG! For this reason dO NOT tamper with, or
adjust, the switch or the safety valve.
When the compressor is not being used set the regulated
pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure
regulator.
5.10.
To stop the compressor press down the main switch (fig.3.1).
When the compressor stops there will be a whistling sound
as compressed air is vented from the compressor head.
dO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor
by switching off the mains power, or by pulling the plug out,
as the pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage
may result upon restart.
5.11.
When you have finished using the compressor unplug the
unit from the mains power supply.
5.12.
Set the outlet pressure on the regulator to zero.
5.13.
Remove the air line and air tool.
5.14.
The tank must now be drained. This will release the air left in
the tank and drain away condensation that may have formed
within the tank. Choose a suitable location for this operation
and/or make provision to collect the condensation. Wear ear
and eye protection. open the tank drain valve (See fig.5)
slowly allowing air and moisture to bleed from the tank. After
bleeding close the drain valve to prevent debris building up in
the valve.
WARNiNG! Water that is allowed to remain in the tank
during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank
which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious
injury drain the tank after each use or daily.

oPeRATIoNS To Be CARRIed oUT eVeRY 100 HoURS:
(or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a very
fig.3
dusty atmosphere):
a) Check oil level and, if necessary, top up.
b) Remove the filter element (fig.4) and clean by blowing
through with an air line at low pressure, from the clean side.
Alternatively, wash in soapy water, rinse and dry. do not
operate the compressor without the filter as foreign bodies or
dust could seriously damage the pump.
c) Check for oil leaks
6.4.
oPeRATIoNS To Be CARRIed oUT eVeRY 200 HoURS:
a) Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see
below. Remove the oil filler plug (fig.2A) and undo the drain
bolt (fig.2C), draining the oil into a container. drain when the
compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely.
Incline compressor to ensure complete drainage. Replace
the drain bolt and refill with fresh oil through the filler
aperture. dO NOT overfill. Replace plug (fig.2A).
Recommended oil for compressors, Suitable for room
temperatures ranging from +5ºC to +25ºC. SeAleY CPo
or equivalent SAe 40 compressor oil.
Room temperature below +5ºC: SAe 20 compressor oil.
WARNiNG! Never mix different oils and do not use
non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be
damaged. dispose of waste oil only in accordance with
local authority requirements.
a) Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the
automatic cut-in at 2 bar below.
6.5.
oPeRATIoNS To Be CARRIed oUT eVeRY 500 HoURS:
a) Replace air filter.
b) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
iMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may
invalidate the warranty on your compressor.

inspection of pressure tank both inside and out.
Under the PRESSURE SYSTEMS SAFETY REGULATiONS
2000, it is the responsibility of the owner of the compressor to
initiate a system of inspection that both defines the frequency
of the inspection and appoints a person who has specific
responsibility for carrying out the inspection.
6.8.
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.
