Operating Manual
Your Bambi Air Compressor is a precision engineered product. By following these simple steps you will ensure years of trouble
free use.
Parts & Service are available from your Bambi dealer.
It is important to quote Model, Type & Serial Number in all communications.
The substitution of parts not manufactured nor approved by Bambi can impair performance, service life and create potential
mechanical or personnel hazards and will invalidate your warranty.
Bambi reserves the right to modify the contents of this operating booklet without notice and the information is in no way binding
on the company.
Warranty
Provided the operating instructions have been followed and the compressor has been properly maintained, Bambi compressors
are guaranteed against faulty workmanship for a period of 1 year.
The air receiver is guaranteed for 3 years.
The guarantee does not cover damage by misuse, incorrect parts or service.
Contact Bambi Air Compressors or your retailer for further information.
Safety Precautions
What you must do:
• Read these instructions before using your air compressor
• Ensure the compressor has been installed, electrically connected and piped in by a properly qualified
person
• Ensure the compressor is kept upright at all times
What you must not do:
• Do not attempt any maintenance on the compressor until it has been isolated from the power supply
• Do not attempt any work on the compressor until the air receiver and pipe work systems are
depressurised.
• Compressed air is dangerous if misused and can prove fatal. Avoid any bodily contact with compressed air
• During operation the motor will become quite hot to the touch. Avoid contact to prevent burns. At no
time must the oil temperature be allowed to exceed 100°C
• Never tamper with the pressure relief valve
• Never change the oil when the compressor is still warm. Take necessary precautions to avoid contact with the
skin
Bambi BPB1110S compressor oil does not contain hazardous components and is not required to be labelled dangerous
according to the Classification, Packaging and Labelling of dangerous substances regulation (CPL) Regulation 1984.
Siting The Compressor
What you must do:
• Provide adequate protection from the weather
• Site the compressor level in both plains
• Larger models are heavy, ensure the surface has sufficient load bearing capacity
• Allow access for maintenance all around the compressor
• Site in a dry area, avoiding damp or humid conditions. The site must be dust free, well ventilated and
have a cool ambient temperature. 35°C should be allowable ambient. Protect from frost, minimum
What you must not do:
• Enclose the compressor or allow hot air generated by the motor to re-
c
irculate around the compressor
Electrical Connections
All 220/240 volt compressors are supplied with a moulded plug in accordance with national standards. Never remove the moulded
plug.
Wired in accordance with European Standard –
Blue = neutral Brown = live Yellow & Green Stripe = earth
Operation
Refer to exploded parts diagrams and illustrations when reading this section.
Oil Level
Your Bambi compressor is shipped without oil for transit. Before use, you must fill the motor to the correct level.
• Remove the inlet filter assembly [pull to remove] - see fig 1
• Pour oil in to motor until the sight glass is full
• Push the inlet filter assembly back onto the pipe.
Always use Bambi BPB1110S compressor oil. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
operating temperature 0°C
Oil Level
Your Bambi Compressor is shipped pre-lled with oil for your convenience. Before use, please let the compressor stand for 20-30
minutes to let the oil settle in the sump. The bottle of oil supplied is to be used for topping up the compressor as and when required
- see g.1 for more detail.
Air Filter
The plug on the air lter intake must be removed and the air lter tted before use - see g. 9 and g. 10 on the card attached to
compressor.
Your airline should be tted to the outlet of the lter regulator.
Always use Bambi BPB1110S compressor oil. Failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.

Starting & Stopping
Plug the compressor into an outlet socket of nominal voltage and fitted with a 13 amp fuse.
Switch the compressor on using the on/off control on top of the pressure switch. - see fig 3
The compressor will start running and automatically switch off at the preset pressure.
As air is used, the pressure drops and the motor will restart at the preset pressure. Approx 2 Bar differential.
Note!
Never tamper with the pressure switch settings; these are factory set.
Adjusting Outlet Pressure
Use the filter regulator to adjust the outlet pressure. The 40mm pressure indicates the selected pressure. To increase line
pressure, rotate the black knob on top of the filter regulator in a clockwise manner; to decrease turn anti clockwise. It is
possible to lock the setting by pushing the knob down until it “clicks” home – see fig 4
Routine Maintenance
Draining the Air Receiver
Drain condensate from air receiver at a pressure of no more than 2 Bar.
Slowly open the drain tap provided to allow water to flow out – see figs 7 & 8
Close drain tap when all water has drained off.
Do not overtighten; this will damage the tap seal.
Automatic drains where fitted do not require draining, however the drain bottle will require emptying.
Draining the Filter/Regulator Unit
Slowly open the drain screw provided to allow water to flow out.
Close drain screw when all water has drained off - see fig 5
Note !
Waste condensate must be handled in accordance with national environmental rules.
Check Pressure Relief Valve
Ensure the air receiver is not pressurised. Unscrew the knurled end of the pressure relief valve until an audible “click” is heard.
Retighten without using excessive force – see fig 6
Technical
The compressor has a maximum 50% duty cycle. The motor must never be allowed to run continuously; otherwise it will
overheat and may become damaged.
Do not ignore air leaks. All air connections must be leak free to prevent the compressor from over heating.
The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload. In the event of excessive temperature, the motor will switch off. After about
50 minutes when the motor has cooled, it will automatically reset.
Note!
You must find the cause of the overload and rectify this before continuing to use the compressor.
Check for -
• Drain tap not closed properly
• Air leaks on the pneumatic fittings
• Compressor not the correct size for the work load
