AIR COMPRESSOR PARTS AND FEATURES
Drain Valve: Used to drain condensation from the air receiver. Located at bottom of tank.
Motor Thermal Overload: The motor has an automatic thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats,
this protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed 30 minutes to cool before restarting (not
shown).
Pressure Switch: This controls the power to the motor and the cut-in/cut-out pressure settings. This switch
serves as the Auto-On/Off positions for the unit.
Air Intake Filter: Provides clean air to the pump and must always be kept free of debris. Check daily or
before each use. Picture shown in assembly section.
Air Compressor Pump: Oil lubricated pump that compresses air which is distributed to the tank.
Non-Return Valve: When the pump is not in operation the valve closes to retain air pressure inside the
receiver.
Air Relief Valve:The air relief valve located on the bottom of the pressure switch is designed to
automatically release compressed air when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure. The released air
should only escape momentarily, and the valve should then close.
Safety Valve:Used to allow excess tank pressure to escape into the atmosphere. This valve should only
open when the air tank pressure is above the maximum rated pressure.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: Indicates the outgoing air pressure to the tool and is controlled by the filter
regulator.
Tank Pressure Gauge:Indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Filter Regulator: The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the filter regulator. To increase
the pressure, turn the knob clockwise and to decrease the pressure turn the knob counter clockwise

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source before any maintenance is
performed as well as the air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could
occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air, or hot surfaces. The filter regulator assembly
must be attached before use. Failure to assemble correctly could result in leaks and possible injury. If
unsure of assembly instructions or you have trouble with assembly, please call your local service dealer
for further instruction.
LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor should always be in a level, clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. The unit should
have a minimum, 30cm of space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any debris or obstructions.
Check the air filter daily to be sure it is clean and in working order.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Check with qualified electrician or
service personnel if these instructions are not completely understood of if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded. For 3 phase machines ensure correct rotation.
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary. Only use a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 240v or 415v and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this
product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, a qualified
electrician should make the reconnection.
TO INSTALL THE AIR INTAKE FILTER
Remove the air intake filter from the poly bag and screw it onto the head of the compressor.

LUBRICATION AND OIL
1. Stop compressor.
2. Check oil level.
3. Add or replace oil as required.
Oil level should be maintained above midpoint of sight glass and filled to
the centre of the red circle in the sight glass (as shown below).
Remove the oil fill cap by turning it counter clockwise by hand. Fill the compressor pump with Air compressor
oil at slow intervals until the oil reaches the centre of the red circle in the sight glass (as shown).
Use oil such as SAE-30 (measured@100OC) Mineral based Compressor Oil.
BE Pump Oil part number 85.490.000 is recommended.
Drain the tank to release all tank air pressure before removing the
oil fill cap. Be sure the air vent in the oil fill cap (see figure to the
right) is free from debris. If air vent is blocked, pressure can build
in crankcase causing damage to the compressor and possible
personal injury.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
DAILY START-UP PROCEDURES
1. Before connecting your Air compressor to a power source, be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the name plate of the compressor.
2. Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position.
3. Check the air compressor visually for any damage or obstruction.
4. Ensure that the location for the air compressor is clean, dry, and well ventilated.
5. Close the drain valve.
6. Check the oil level of the pump.
7. Connect plug to main power supply, do not use extension leads as this may result in a drop in
voltage causing motor damage.
8. Start compressor by switching the knob on the pressure switch to the on position and the
compressor will start and build air pressure in the tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off
automatically.
9. Adjust the filter regulator to a psi/kpa setting that is needed for your application and be sure it is
within the safety standards required to perform the task. If using a pneumatic tool, the
manufacturer should have recommendations in the manual for that tool on operating pressure
(psi/kpa) settings.
10. The air compressor is now ready for use

9 | Page
DAILY SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES
1. The on/off lever located on the pressure switch MUST BE USED TO SHUT DOWN
COMPRESSOR. To ensure pressure is unloaded through the vented check valve via the pressure
switch in the loader valve.
2. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the filter regulator.
4. Remove any air tools or accessories.
5. When draining air tank always use ear and eye protection. Drain the air tank in a suitable location;
condensation will be present in most cases of draining.
6. Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank. After all the air has bled from the tank
close the drain valve to prevent debris build-up in the valve.
7. When draining the air tank always use ear and eye protection.
Water that remains in the air tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause it to
rupture. To avoid serious injury, be sure to drain the tank after each use or daily.
Do not use your electric or engine drive air Compressor outdoors while it is raining or on a wet surface. Either
of these situations could result in electric shock or damage to the machine.
IMPORTANT
It is important to re-tension the head bolts on the compressor pump after the first 2 hours
of use and every 3 months thereafter.
Head tensions should be set to 24Nm QH 50+80 pumps and 43 Nm on JC pump

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The air compressor should be turned off and disconnected from the power source before any
maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the air tank and the unit allowed time to cool.
Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air, or hot surfaces.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit a routine maintenance schedule should
be followed. The following schedule is geared toward a consumer whose compressor is used in a normal
working environment daily. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which
your compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the working
environment. Air compressors used in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
Disconnect compressor from power supply and release air prior to any servicing/maintenance.
A good maintenance program will add years of service to your air compressor. The following is recommended
as a minimum maintenance program.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
1. Check and maintain oil level and add oil as necessary
2. Drain air tank of moisture via drain valve
3. Check for unusual noise or vibration (see “Troubleshooting”)
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the air filters. A clogged air filter can seriously affect the efficiency of the compressor and
cause overheating and excessive oil usage.
2. Clean all external parts of the compressor. A dirty compressor can cause abnormally high
discharge temperature and resulting oil carbonisation on internal valve components.
3. Check the safety valve manually (by pulling ring or lever) to ensure correct operation.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect condition of oil and change if necessary
2. Check drive belt tension and tighten if needed
EVERY THREE MONTHS OR 600 HOURS OF OPERATION
We recommend an Authorised BE service agent carry out this service.
1. Change oil
2. Inspect valves. Clean the carbon from valves and head if necessary
3. Check all nuts, bolts, etc and tighten as necessary
4. Check non return valve operation.
