Wear hearing protection.
The effects of noise can cause a loss of hearing.
7. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
• Check the equipment for damage which may
have occurred in transit. Report any damage im-
mediately to the transport company which was
used to deliver the compressor.
• Install the compressor near the point of consump-
tion.
• Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension
cables).
• Make sure that the intake air is dry and dustfree.
• Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet
room.
• The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms
(with good ventilation and an ambient temperature
from +5 °C to 40 °C). There must be no dust, acids,
vapors, explosive gases or inflammable gases in the
room.
• The compressor is designed to be used in dry
rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in
areas where work is conducted with sprayed wa-
ter.
8. Attachment and operation
m Important!
You must fully assemble the appliance before
using it for the first time!
You will require the following tools for assembly
and installation: 2 x open-ended wrench size 14
mm (not included)
8.1 Fitting the wheels (fig. 6,7)
• Screw on each wheel (3) one washer (C) and one
nut (B) on to the threads of the wheels.
• Then mount the wheels (3) on the wheel holders,
at the bottom of the pressure vessel (2), by using
a wrench to fix the nut (B) and tighten the other
nut (B), washer (C) and spring washer (D) on the
other side of the thread.
8.2 Fitting the supporting foot (fig. 5)
• Mount the enclosed supporting foot (4) with the
two hex bolts (A), the four washers (C), the two
spring washers (D) and two nuts (B), as shown in
Figure 5.
8.3 Fitting the holding (fig. 8)
• Screw the holder 2 (E) in the threaded holes on
the right and left of the transport handle (9), and
secure the holder with the nuts against twisting.
8.4 Mains connection
• The compressor is equipped with a mains cable
with shock-proof plug. This can be connected to
any 230V ~ 50 Hz shock-proof socket which is
protected by a 16 A fuse.
• Before you use the machine, make sure that the
mains voltage is the same as the operating volt-
age (see the rating plate).
• Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc.
cause a drop in voltage and can impede motor
start-up.
• At low temperatures below +5 °C, sluggishness
may make starting difficult or impossible.
8.5 ON/OFF switch (fig. 2)
• To switch on the compressor, press the button
(8) on position I.
• To switch off the compressor, press the button
(8) on position 0.
8.6 Setting the pressure (fig. 2)
• You can adjust the pressure on the pressure
gauge (6) using the pressure regulator (7).
• The set pressure can be taken from the quick
lock coupling (5).
8.7 Setting the pressure switch
• The pressure switch is set at the factory. Cut-in
pressure approx. 8 bar. Cut-out pressure approx.
10 bar.
9. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as
the extension cable used must also comply
with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is
often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been
cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for dam-
age regularly. Make sure that the connection cable
does not hang on the power network during the
inspection.
