 The compressor is NOT illed with oil. Oil is contained in the
package.
 The combined oil/airinlet (1) on the compressorhousing is
closed by means o a PVC stopper.
 The air-inlet ilter (1) is packed in a plastic bag and attached to
the oil/airinlet ( rontside o compressorhousing )
 Compressormotorblock is blocked or transport with cardboard
strips between motor and casing.
 The compressed air outletconnectors (6) on the
pressureregulator + manometer (3) are dismounted /
unscrewed and packed separately.
 In this described condition the compressor can be transported
or shipped in a sa e way.
Transport of your ompressor :
 Remove the air-inlet ilter (1)
 Close o the combined oil/airinlet (1) on the
compressormotorblock with the PVC stopper ; this will avoid
any spill o oil.
 Keep the compressor in an upright position.
 In this described condition the compressor can be transported
in a sa e way.
 For extra sa ety the motorblock can be blocked by means o
cardboard strips to be placed between motor and housing.

3) FIRST START-UP
New ompressor pi ked-up at Ideefiks vzw – Obeeliks E-Shop :
 Replace the PVC stopper on the combined oil / airinlet (1) on
the compressormotorblock by the air-inlet ilter.
 Remove cardboard between motorblock and housing.
 Check oillevel in sidemounted sightglass ( level should be
somewhat above red mark )
 The compressor can be started now ( see section START /
CONTROL o COMPRESSOR )

Shop :
 Remove cardboard between motorblock and housing.
 Remove the PVC stopper on the combined oil / airinlet (1) on
the compressormotorblock
 Remove the blue compressorcasing ( 6 screw outside )
 Fill-up the compressor with the compressoroil using the
supplied unnel that can be screwed onto the oilbottle. Please
empty the whole content o the bottle into the
compressorcarter ; as a result the oillevel will show up
somewhat above the red hal way mark on the sidemounted
sightglass.
 Place the air ilter (1) on the oil/airinlettube with a turning
movement. Press lightly.
 Screw the quick connectors (6) into the pressureregulator-
outlet ollowed by the manometer (3)

 The compressor can be started now ( see section START /
CONTROL o COMPRESSOR )
3) START / CONTROL OF COMPRESSOR / STOP
 Start the compressor by moving the switch located on the black
pressureswitchbox (0) to position I
 De compressormotor starts up and will build up pressure. The
pressure in the airtank can be monitored on the manometer (2)
next to the black pressureswitchbox.
 The pressure in the tank will build up till 8 bar ollowed by an
automatic stop o the motor.
 Whenever the pressure drops below 6 bar the compressor will
start automatically and will run till the max pressure is reached
again.
 Airoutletpressure can be regulated with the manual
pressureregulator (7) located in the ront o the compressor.
 Pull the notched knob o the pressureregulator upward.
 Turning it clockwise will INCREASE the outletpressure,
counterclockwise will DECREASE the pressure
 Control the pressure – or airbrushuse – to 2 – 2.2 bar.
 Plug the airbrush airhose in the quick couplingconnector o the
pressureregulator and depress the airbrushtrigger to spray some
air. Control the compressoroutletpressure again and adjust – i
necessary - to 2 – 2.2 bar. Press the notched knob downward (
clicks ) to lock this setting.
 The compressormotor can run – in normal use - or MAX 15
minutes. Respect this in order not to overheat the motor ; adapt
air-usage i necessary in order to allow a regular automatic
start/stop ( and cooling-o ) o the motor. With cycli o 15 minutes
ON and 15 minutes OFF it is possible to work on a continuous
basis.
4) MAINTENANCE
 The compressor is protected in the ollowing way :
- against overheating : automatic switch-o o the motor : in
this event pull out the mainsplugs and allow the motor to
cool down or +- 1 hour. Remove cause o overheating
be ore retrying to start-up the compressor. Possible
causes o overheating : blocked air-inlet ilter ( dirty ) , too
high air-usage exceeding the 15 minutes allowable
runtime o the motor.

4/5 Rev 0 14.12.2005
- against overpressure : sa etyvalve (8) on airtank will blow
i required. Caused by : de ective pressureswitch,
deregulation o pressureswitch causing the compressor to
build up pressure higher than 8 bar.
 Air inlet ilter (1) : inletopening o ilter (side) should show a
YELLOW colour. Whenever it turns black by dustaccumulation it is
time to clean the iltermaterial contained inside the ilter with a dry
so t brush. Replace the ilter i dirt can no longer be removed.
 Oil : requires no maintenance. Regular control o oillevel is
necessary. Normally this level will never drop below its initial value.
Only when compressor has been overheated some oil may have
been entrained by the compressed air and will end up in the
airtank. ( see next point ). All oil can be drained rom the
motorblock by unscrewing the sightglass.
 Monthly drainage o the airtank is necessary : drain the airtank by
unscrewing the brass drainvalve (5) on the ront bottomside o the
airtank. It is advisable to do this when the pressure on the tank is
moderate to low ( otherwise the drained liquid will spill / spurt
around ) The drained liquid is condensed water ( out o the
compressed air ) and can have a slightly rusty colour. When oil is
detected on the sur ace o the drained water it means that the
compressor has been overheated or some time and uture
airusage should be lowered.
 Drainage o manaul pressureregulator (4) : only necessary when
waterdroplets are visible in the transparant plastic bowl. Drain the
bowl at moderate pressure by pushing the small pin at the bottom
upward letting escape air + moisture. Use this procedure to
depressurize your compressor be ore longer periods o inactivity (
> 24 hours ).
 Should any oil end up in the transparant plastic bowl o the
pressureregulator the WHITE ilterlement has to be replaced.
Counterclock turn the bowl and pull it out o the pressureregulator
to access the ilterelement. This should be done with NO pressure
on the compressor and the pressureregulator !
