minutes with the air open to ensure good distribution of the
lubricating oil. Turn the compressor off and close the air tap. Restart the
compressor and leave it running with air tap (fig.3.4) closed and regulator
(fig.3.2) set to maximum pressure. Make sure that pressure in the tank rises
and that the compressor stops automatically when the max. pressure value
is achieved. The compressor will now operate automatically. The pressure
and restarts it when pressure falls below the minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar
(29psi) less than the maximum pressure.
5.3.5. Stop the compressor by pushing the switch knob downwards.
The compressed air inside the compressor head will flow out, making the restart
easier and preventing the motor from being damaged. DO NOT, other than in an
emergency, stop the compressor by switching off the mains power, or by pulling
the plug out, as the pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage
may result upon restart.
(a) a whistle of compressed air when the motor stops,
(b) a protracted whistle (about 20-25 seconds) when the compressor starts with no pressure in the tank.
The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator (fig.3.2). Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and clockwise to
reduce it. The knob can be locked at any required setting by tightening the locking ring (fig.3.3) up against the underside of the knob. To
used set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure reducer.
NOTE: a) If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor may
be too small for the equipment or tool.

WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the switch or safety valve.
The compressor is fitted with a reset trip, located in the connection box on top of the motor (see fig.A.Z) The reset button is on the side

6. MAINTENANCE
In order to keep the compressor in good working condition, periodic maintenance is
essential.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance operation, switch o the
compressor, disconnect from electricity supply and release all air from the
tank.
IMPORTANT! Failure to carry out maintenance tasks may invalidate the
warranty on your compressor.
cylinder head.
a) Drain condensation by opening the valve located under the tank (fig.5). Place a
container under the valve and slowly open the valve by turning anti-clockwise.
(or more frequently, if the
compressor operates in a very dusty atmosphere)
a) Check oil level and, if necessary, top up.
protection). DO NOT operate the compressor without the filters as foreign bodies or dust
could seriously damage the pump.
c) Check for oil leaks
and drain the oil into a container.
Drain when the compressor is hot so that oil drains rapidly and completely. Incline compressor to ensure complete drainage.
DO NOT
b) Check the automatic cut-out at max. pressure and the automatic cut-in at 2 bar below.
WARNING! Never mix dierent oils and DO NOT use non-detergent/low quality oils as the compressor may be damaged.
WARNING! Dispose of waste oil only in accordance with local authority requirements.
