USER GUIDE
Congratulations on the purchase of a PILOT air compressor. This unit has been designed to
provide reliable and trouble fee usage in servicing your compressed air requirements.
Please take a moment to familiarise yourself ith the information contained in the follo ing
sections of this guide before attempting to operate this unit.
LOCATION OF UNIT:
For optimum efficiency locate unit in a clean, dry and cool environment ith good ventilation.
Avoid placing obstacles either on or around unit to facilitate maximum air flo and cooling.
OPERATION:
NOTE:
CHECK OIL LEVEL BEFORE USE IN CASE OF LOSSES
INCURRED DURING SHIPPING
1. ELECTRIC UNITS
Ensure ON/OFF s itch is located on the pressure s itch is in an ON/OFF position (do n),
before inserting po er plug into appropriate receptacle and applying po er.
Unit can then be s itched on using the ON/OFF s itch. The pressure s itch ill
automatically start and stop the compressor hen the air receiver drops belo or reaches
factory set cut-in and cut-out pressures respectively.
NOTE:
ALWAYS SWITCH UNIT ON AND OFF VIA
PRESSURE SWITCH TO ENSURE THE UNIT
DOES NOT START AGAINST HIGH PRESSURE
IMPORTANT:
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO UNIT OR PERSONS DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MODIFY, BYPASS OR REMOVE PRESSURE
SWITCH OR SAFETY VALVE IN ANY WAY.
“TM” OR “K” SERIES ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE TO
A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF 10 BAR.
www.pilotair.com.au

The air receiver is equipped ith a safety valve to release pressure in the event of a pressure
s itch cut-out failure. To prevent damage to the unit, do not attempt to modify, bypass or
remove the pressure s itch or safety valve in any ay.
The motor features a manual overload protection ( here fitted). In poor po er conditions or
motor over temperature conditions, this overload protector ill cut po er to the motor. To
reset, ait for the motor to cool then press reset button. If problems persist, check for po er
ratings, faulty po er or poor connections.
B PETROL/DIESEL DRIVEN
Please refer to OEM documentation in reference to care and operation of your petrol/diesel
engine.
This unit has been designed to “idle do n” to minimum operating speeds hen factory set cut-
out pressures are reached. This saves both fuel consumption and ear on moving parts. When
pressure drops to set cut-in pressures the unit ill automatically resume pumping at normal
operating speeds.
To facilitate easy starting of the unit and to ensure no damage to the electric starter
(where fitted always open the “EASY START” valve until the unit is operating and then
close for normal operation. This valve is located on the motor/pump platform (models
K25P,K30P or in the discharge pipe from the pump to the air receiver (other models .
SAFETY
•Pressure vessels (air receivers) are a type of plant, and as such, MAY be required to be
registered ith the relevant statutory authority in your state. Regulations regarding plant
registration vary from state to state. Check ith your relevant government authority about
plant registration.
•Compressed air can be dangerous. Never point compressed air tools or equipment to ards
another person.
•After use, drain all residual air pressure or engage outlet tap to prevent accidental
discharge by children.
•Keep clear of compressor pump during and after operation. Heat build up in the pump may
cause burns to un ary.
•Never operate the unit ithout factory fitted belt guard.(belt drive models) or pump shroud
(direct drive models).
•Never operate the unit ith damaged or exposed electrical iring.
•Do not alter, adjust or remove any components on the unit ithout technical support.
•Whenever transporting an air compressor, ensure all air is drained from the air receiver.
There should be NO residual air pressure in the air receiver.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
•Check that fuses or circuit breakers correspond to motor rating. In case of 415-Volt units, check
rotation as indicated by arro attached to unit. On 240-Volt units, avoid using extension leads as
they could cause voltage drop and po er loss to motor. If extension is to be used, please follo the
table belo .

KW HP VOLTS RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE
1.65 2.25 240 HEAVY DUTY, 1.5MM SQUARE WIRE (MAX LENGTH 20 M)

•Oil level must be obtained at centre of oil sight glass. Do not overfill as this could cause excessive
oil out going from the crank case breather.
•Oil is to be replaced every 1000 orking hours or on a six (6) monthly basis.
RECOMMENDED OIL:
•PILOT PCO-40G or equivalent (Stationary models).
•PILOT PCO-30G or equivalent (Portable models).
Note: In humid and/or very low duty cycle environments, condensate may collect in the
sump. Under these conditions, it is a requirement that the operator drain the residual
water from the sump on a regular basis and/or change the oil more frequently than
recommended above.
•Air filter element should be cleaned periodically and replaced every 500 orking hours. (Under
normal environmental conditions).
•Routine maintenance should be performed on at least a six (6) monthly basis.
•Condensation must be drained from air receiver at least eekly.
•Unit must be kept clean to allo proper cooling to take effect. Special care should be taken to
clean the crankcase breather in order to allo proper crankcase breathing.
•Whenever attempting to carry out any maintenance to compressors, isolate po er and release all
pressure from receiver.
•For information regarding spare parts and/or service, please al ays quote model and serial
number.
•PLEASE KEEP THIS INFORMATION NEAR MACHINE, SO IT CAN BE READ BY
ANYONE ATTEMPTING PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.

NOTE:
DO NOT BOLT COMPRESSOR DIRECTLY ONTO FLOOR. THIS MAY
CAUSE CRACKS IN THE AIR RECEIVER. PLACE COMPRESSOR ON
THE RUBBER VIBRATION PADS PROVIDED. IF THE COMPRESSOR
MUST BE BOLTED, ENSURE RUBBER VIBRATION PADS ARE IN PLACE
AND FASTEN, LEAVING A GAP BETWEEN BOLT HEAD OR NUT AND
COMPRESSOR FOOT TO AVOID ANY METAL TO METAL CONTACT.
COMPRESSOR COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
•PRESSURE SWITCH: This s itch is located on the top of the air receiver and functions as a
manual on/off s itch in addition to automatically stopping and starting the compressor at factory
pre-set pressures (electric models only).
•PRESSURE GAUGE: The Pressure Gauge is located on the air receiver and indicates the
pressure held in both PSI and KPA.
•SAFETY VALVE: The Safety Valve is located on the air receiver and is designed to release
pressure in the event of a pressure s itch failure.
•OVERLOAD PROTECTION: Electric models are fitted ith an overload protector, to protect
the motor in the event of an over temperature condition. These reset buttons are located either on
the pressure s itch or the motor itself.
•CHECK VALVE: The Check Valve is located at the junction of the pump discharge pipe and the
air receiver. The check valve prevents air pressure form returning from the air receiver to the
pump.
•EASY START VALVE: (Petrol/Diesel models only) The Easy Start Valve is located on the check
valve for portable units and on the compressor platform for stationary units. This valve should be
opened for ease of starting of the engine and closed hen running for normal operation.
•RECEIVER DRAIN: The Receiver Drain is located at the underside of the air receiver and is
used for draining condensate from the receiver.
•OIL SIGHT GLASS: The Oil Sight Glass is located on the side of the compressor pump
(opposite the fly heel) and is used for examining the oil level of the unit.
