Cleaning
Unplug the Airo from the battery charger.
Clean the external surfaces using a damp cloth
and allow to dry thoroughly before reconnecting
to the battery charger. Do not allow moisture to
enter any part of the compressor.
Do not use solvent-based products.
Storage
When not in use, store in a dry place together
with these instructions. To maintain the batteries,
when being stored for long periods, put the
Airo on charge overnight every 6 months.
Maintenance - g. 11
At approximately 12 month intervals, inspect the
air lter located in the base of the Airo (A), and if
necessary, t a new lter (a kit of replacement lters
is available through your supplier - part number:
CA0233).
Battery replacement:
Turn the Airo upside down and remove the four
screws (B) followed by the two battery supports
and rubber spacers (C). Turn the Airo the right
way up to remove the batteries.
Fit the replacement batteries so that their
contacts are towards the center line of the
battery compartment. NOTE: Be careful not
to displace the battery compartment terminals
when changing the batteries.
IMPORTANT: Always replace both batteries and
use the same type.
The Airo contains no other serviceable parts. If a
fault should develop, please contact your supplier
for further advice.
