Setting up your Nomad II Compressor
1) The cover must be removed. Before removing,
make sure the compressor is not connected to an
active electrical outlet. Start by removing each of
the 12 phillips head screws, with a phillips head
screwdriver turning them counter-clockwise (g. 1).
2) Carefully lift the cover off of the unit, taking
extra care not to disconnect any of the wiring that
is attached to the ON/OFF and POWER/RESET
switches or the LOAD gauge (g. 2)
3) Locate the adjustment window on the power
converter (g. 3a) . It will be located behind wires,
take care not to dislodge or disconnect any of the
wires while adjusting. Using an allen key, move the
switch to the right. This will select the 220V input
power setting (g. 3b) .
4) Replace the cover on the unit, and reinstall the
12 phillips head screws (g. 4)
5) Attach the hose and output lter to the compressor
via the female quick disconnect tting. The end with
the lter should be closest to the compressor (see
image for proper conguration) - (g. 5).

Lubricating your Nomad II Compressor
Locate the lubrication hole on the left hand side of the unit. Using the included oil
applicator bottle, apply 2-3 drops of silicone oil every
5 lls or 1.5 hours of use (whichever comes rst).
The “LOAD” gauge on the top of the Nomad II can also be
used to determine oil application intervals. If the LOAD
gauge reaches 28 during operation, it is necessary to
apply silicone oil. The Nomad II will automatically shut off if the LOAD gauge exceeds 29.
IMPORTANT: Use only silicone oil to lubricate the compressor. The use of any other oil/lubricant is not
recommended and may void your warranty.

11
© Air Venturi®2018 / www.airventuri.com / 216-292-2570
Purging the Lubrication System
Every 20 lls it is important to purge the Nomad II
of excess silicone oil and moisture. Once you have
completed the 20th ll with your Nomad II, before
opening the Pressure Release Valve, locate the
Moisture Release Valve on the underside of the unit.
Turn the Moisture Release Valve counter-clockwise
to purge the system. (g. 1)
AIR AND / OR LIQUID MAY BE RELEASED AT HIGH
VELOCITY.
IMPORTANT
!

Basic Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed at the following times:
1) If oil has been added recently and the LOAD gauge still reads 28 or higher.
2) If ll times increase without any signs of leaking.
3) Once every 20-30 lls.
Turn on the Nomad II compressor and open the Moisture Release Valve on the
underside of the unit by turning the knurled screw counter-clockwise. Add 2-3 drops of
silicone oil into the lubrication hole repeatedly in 30 second intervals, six times. (That’s
a total of 12-18 drops over 2:30 - 3 minutes). Once complete, allow the compressor
to run for another 3 - 5 minutes with the Moisture Release Valve open to allow the
lubricant to circulate in the system. When nished, turn the compressor off and close
the Moisture Release Valve by turning the knurled screw clockwise until tight.
IMPORTANT
FAILURE TO PERFORM BASIC MAINTENANCE AS
DETAILED ABOVE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

Troubleshooting
Issue - Burst disc failure
- Resolution - Should the burst disc fail
during use of the compressor, depress
the ON/OFF button and make sure the
compressor has stopped. Open the
Pressure Release Valve to let the
remaining air vent from the compressor.
Once you have veried the burst disc
has failed (there will be a hole in it) by
removing the burst disc retention screw
(pictured right), remove the broken burst
disc from the unit. You will nd
additional burst discs in the bag of spare
parts that comes with the compressor.
Install a new burst disc, and re-insert
the burst disc retention screw by turning
clockwise. If you do not have additional
burst discs, contact Air Venturi for
replacement at: 216-220-1180.
