malfunction
Should the machine fail to function correctly, a
number of possible causes and the appropriate
solutions are given below:
Air loss
•
May be caused by a poor seal of a connection.
• Check all air connections by wetting them
with a soapy water solution ( Never use the
solution nearby electric connections )
• When the tank is empty and being filled.
The user might hear a sisseling sound by
the pressure switch. This is normal and will
stop before the compressor reach a
pressure of 1.5 bar
• Check if the drain valve (11) is closed well
The compressor will not start
•
If the compressor is difficult to start, check:
• whether the voltage of the mains
corresponds to that on the specification
plate (fig. 10)
• whether electrical extension cables are
being used with a faulty core or length.
• whether the operating environment is too
cold (below 0°C).
• whether there is electricity supply (plug
properly connected, magneto-thermal fuses
not broken).
The compressor does not shut off
If the compressor does not shut off when the
maximum pressure has been reached, the safety
valve of the tank will be activated. It is necessary
to contact the nearest authorised Support Service
for the repair.
Repairs and servicing should only be
carried out by a qualified technician or
service firm.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth
moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc.
These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Drain the tank
Compressing air will cause water in the tank.
Regularly drain the water from the tank to prevent
8
tank corrosion (fig 16):
•
First reduce the pressure in the tank till
aprroxially 2 bar by connecting and activating
an air tool .
•
Then slowly turn the drain valve (11) on the
lower side of the tank open.
•
The water in the tank will now leak out of the
tank
Take care when compressed air is in the tank
because the water can come out with some force.
Recommended pressure max. 1-2 Bar.
Clean the air filter
It is recommended to disassemble the suction filter
every 50 operating hours and to clean the filter
element by blowing it with compressed air (fig. 15).
It is recommended that the filter element is
replaced at least once a year if the compressor is
working in a clean environment; more often if the
environment in which the compressor is situated is
dusty.
Lubrication
It is recommended to disassemble the suction filter
every 50 operating hours and to clean the filter
element by blowing it with compressed air (fig. 15).
It is recommended that the filter element is
replaced at least once a year if the compressor is
working in a clean environment; more often if the
environment in which the compressor is situated is
dusty. The compressor makes condensed water
which collects in the tank.
It is necessary to remove the condensed water in
the tank at least once a week by opening the drain
cock (fig. 16) under the tank. Take care when
compressed air is in the bottle because the water
can come out with some force. Recommended
pressure max. 1-2 Bar.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part,
please contact the service address on the
warranty card. In the back of this manual you find
an exploded view showing the parts that can be
ordered.
Environment
To prevent damage during transport, the appliance
is delivered in a solid packaging which consists
largely of reusable material.
Therefore please make use of options for recycling
the packaging.
