2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
Static compressor with Honda GX200 6.5hp power unit coupled to
heavy-duty, two stage twin piston, cast iron pump. Pump has heavy-
duty full cast cylinders capped by alloy heads for improved heat
dissipation and long life. Heavy-duty drive guard protects belt and
flywheel that is designed to force air over the pump to aid cooling.
Features single gauge and air outlet. Runs on unleaded fuel.
3. PREPARATION
3.1. Remove compressor from packaging and inspect for any
missing or damaged parts. If anything is found to be missing
or damaged contact your supplier.
3.2. Save the packing material for future transportation of the
compressor. It is recommended to store the packing in a safe
location, at least for the period of the guarantee. Then, if
necessary, it will be easier to send the compressor to the
service centre.
3.3. Take care to transport the compressor correctly, do not
overturn it or lift it with hooks or ropes.
3.4. Positionthecompressoronaatsurfaceorwithamaximum
permissible inclination of 10°. Site in a well ventilated area.
If the surface is inclined and smooth, check if the compressor
moves whilst in operation.
If the surface is in a raised position, make sure the
compressor cannot fall, securing it in a suitable way.
3.5. Toensuregoodventilationandefcientcooling,the
compressor’s belt guard must be at least 100cm from any
wall.
3.6. Before using the compressor, check the oil level by looking
at the dipstick as shown in fig.5C. If the oil is not between the
min and max. mark, it should be topped up with synthetic oil
(see section 5.4. for recommended oils). We do not
recommend using mineral oil in these compressors. Do not
overfill.
3.7. The compressor should be located in a position that allows
good air circulation around the unit and where there is good
ventilation. Remember that the compressor's engine
produces harmful exhaust fumes.
2.1. SPECIFICATION
4. OPERATION
 WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply
Section 1 Safety Instructions.
4.1. STARTING
IMPORTANT! Always check and, if necessary, top-up the
engine oil and the pump oil before starting. Severe engine
and/or pump damage may otherwise result.
4.1.1. Check that the air outlet valve on the tank end-plate (fig.1.A)
is closed.
4.1.2. Start the compressor engine, following the procedure
detailed in the manufacturer’s handbook supplied.
Ensure the oil is topped up. Oil filler/dipstick - fig.2A.
4.1.3. When the engine is running smoothly, the compressor will
operate automatically, building up the pressure in the tank,
which is shown on the pressure gauge (fig.2D), to the
maximum setting (factory set). When the maximum tank
pressure is reached, the relief valve (fig.2B) will
automatically vent the pump output. When the tank
pressure falls below the minimum threshold
(approx.2bar/29psi less than the maximum pressure), the
relief valve will automatically close, and the tank pressure will
increase back to it's maximum.

4.2. STOPPING.
4.2.1. To stop the compressor turn the engine ignition switch (fig.3)
to Off (O). See the engine manufacturer’s handbook for the
complete engine shutdown procedure.
4.3. CONNECTING AIR POWERED EQUIPMENT.
4.3.1. After fitting the desired coupling to the outlet valve (fig.1)
connect an air hose and hook up to air system. An outlet
regulator is necessary to use air equipment direct from the
compressor.
Note: To determine the correct working pressure and air flow
requirements for any piece of equipment check the
corresponding manual. Be aware that the air flow figure
stated on tools and accessories refers to ‘Free Air Delivery’
and not the piston displacement of the compressor. When
adjusting the regulator, always adjust up to the required
pressure.
4.4. WHEN WORK IS COMPLETE.
At the end of each working day, drain any moisture from the
main tank. Place a container under the drain plug and then
carefully unscrew it (fig.4). DO NOT allow moisture to
accumulate in the tank as this will corrode the inside of the
tank and affect the pressure rating of the tank.
WARNING! Wear safety goggles and gloves when performing
this task.
fig.2
Note: a) If the relief valve does not cut in and out, but is
continuously closed whilst using an air appliance, the
capacity of the compressor may be too small for the
equipment or tool.
b) The gauge (fig.2D) indicates the pressure inside the tank,
NOT the pressure supplied to the air equipment. If the
pressure in the tank exceeds the relief valve maximum, a
safety valve (fig.5E) will open. WARNING! For this reason
DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the relief valve or the
safety valve.

5. MAINTENANCE
fig.3
In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic
maintenance is essential.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may
invalidate the warranty on your compressor.
WARNING! Service and maintenance must be performed by an
authorised agent. DO NOT tamper with, or attempt to adjust, the
pressure switch or safety valve. Before moving, or carrying out
any maintenance on the compressor, ensure that the ignition
switch is ‘off’, that the air tank pressure has been vented and
the compressor has been allowed to cool down for a period of
time.
5.1. ENGINE.
For all engine maintenance, please refer to the engine
manufacturer’s handbook (supplied) for the full schedule.
5.2. COMPRESSOR.
5.2.1. Operations to be carried out after the first 50 working
hours:
a) Check that all bolts/nuts are tight, particularly those
retaining the crank case and cylinder head.
b) Replace the lubricating oil - see para 5.2.5.
5.2.2. Operations to be carried out daily:
a) Drain condensation by opening the valve (fig.4) located
under the tank.
b) Check oil level (fig.5C) and, if necessary, top-up.
c) Check guards/covers are secure.
d) Check for oil leaks.
e) Check for unusual noises or vibrations.
f) Check for air leaks.
5.2.3. Operations to be carried out weekly:
(or more frequently, if the compressor operates in a
very dusty atmosphere):
a) Remove the air filter element by undoing the screw
(fig.5B) and removing the filter cover. Clean the filter by
blowing through from the clean side, with an air line at
low pressure. Replace filter, cover and screw. DO NOT
operate compressor without filter as foreign bodies or
dust could damage the pump and will invalidate
warranty.
WARNING! Wear safety goggles when performing this
task.
b) Clean compressor.
c) Check that the relief valve, vents pump output and
reduces engine speed when maximum pressure is
reached.
Also that the compressor restarts pressure build up
automatically at 2bar below max pressure.
5.2.4. Operations to be carried out monthly:
a) Check belt tension. A weight of 3kg applied at the belt
mid-point should give a deflection of approximately
10mm (fig.6). If adjustment is required, maintain the
alignment of the two pulleys (fig.6). Adjust by
repositioning the engine, using the screw adjuster
provided in the base plate.
5.2.5. Operations to be carried out every 200 working hours:
a) Change air filter element. (See 5.2.3).
b) Replace the lubricating oil. For oil specifications see 5.4.
Remove the dipstick (fig.5C) and (after placing a
suitable container under it) undo the oil drainer (fig.5D).
Drain when the compressor has recently run, so the oil
is hot, the oil will drain rapidly and completely. Replace
the oil drainer and refill through the filler aperture.
Do not overfill. Replace the dipstick.
  WARNING! Never mix different oils and do not use
non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor
may be damaged and will invalidate the warranty.
  WARNING! Dispose of waste oil only in accordance
with local authority requirements.
c) Check all tube fittings and electrical connections.
d) Inspect pressure tank inside and out for damage or
corrosion.
NOTE: It is recommended that every two years
(or approximately every 1600 working hours), the
compressor is returned to an authorised dealer for a
complete inspection.
