Setting Up: Connecting to the Mains Power Supply. Gentilin 230/240V single phase air compressors are generally fitted with a European Schuko plug (supplied straight from the factory). For UK usage we provide a fused 13 amp plug clam-shell adaptor. Insert the Schuko plug into the adaptor as shown, and screw down the clam shell.
Use of Extension Cables. If you intend to use an electrical extension cable or cable reel, please ensure it is rated for 13 amps, and 230/240V. Using cables rated less, will cause the compressor motor to overheat, and trip out. This can eventually lead to irreparable damage to the electric motor.

Air Compressor On/Off Switch. All models have one of two types of On/Off switches. C330 Models. For the C330 models it will be a push / pull type switch as shown below. • Locate the red button marked OFF/ON. • Pull the button up to start the compressor.

Operation: Start Up. Connect the air compressor plug to the mains power socket, then turn the compressor on. The compressor should immediately start up. The compressor will continue to run until it reaches its maximum air pressure (refer to the specifications on page 2). If the compressor does not start up, check the large air pressure tank gauge.

Air Gauges and Air Regulator Operation. All Gentilin air compressors have at least two air gauges – a tank gauge, and an air regulator gauge. Tank Pressure Gauge. The Tank pressure gauge is the larger of the two gauges. It is positioned vertically and located before the air regulator, and its smaller pressure gauge.
Air Connection. Included with the air compressor is an airline Quick Release Coupling (QRC) male stem. This male QRC will need to be screwed onto an air hose with a ¼” BSP female nut coupling. Before connecting the male QRC and hose to the air compressor, ensure that the air regulator gauge is reading zero.

Lockable Air Regulator. Gentilin air compressors incorporate a lockable air regulator. This enables the user to adjust the air pressure from the air compressor to the air tool being used. Setting Air Pressure. Ensure that the air compressor is tuned on, has reached maximum pressure, and is in a stalled position.

3.5 bar (50 PSI) atomising air pressure. For the above examples, using the maximum air pressure from the Gentilin air compressor would not only ensure incorrect application, but would also cause the air compressor to overheat and therefore stop. Therefore it is necessary to adjust the air pressure accordingly for each application.
Pressure Drop. When you adjust the air pressure on the air regulator (without an air tool being used), the reading on the gauge is called the ‘Static Pressure’. As you use the air tool, the needle on the air regulator gauge will fall from the initial pressure you have set.

Sizing an Air Tool with an Air Compressor. Different air compressors produce different air volume amounts at a given air pressure. This is dependant on the size of the air compressor. Generally, how much air volume is produced depends on the air pump size, and the size of the motor driving it.
Draining the Tank. After a period of use, water in liquid form will accumulate within the air compressor frame / tank. This is normal for all air compressors and is a consequence of compressing air. To avoid water blowing out of the airline and into the air tool, it is advised to periodically drain the tank.
For spray guns, check with us at Sprayman UK and we will advise what is suitable. Spray guns sold with our Gentilin spray packages have been tested and approved by us, for use with our Gentilins.

Compressor was running then suddenly stopped – Check the compressor motor has not overheated. Look at the control box (shown below). If a white pip is protruding, then the overheat protection circuit has switched off the power. Wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down, then press in the white pip, and the compressor will start again.
All filters should be replaced at least after every 100 hours of use. For filter locations check our Gentilin parts section on our website. https://www.sprayman.co.uk/product-category/parts/gentilin-parts/ For Gentilin advice or support call us on 01543 496 289.
