Please note that you can find the pictures and illustrations we
are referring to on page 36.
Warning
· Unless directions are followed and original spare parts used,
physical injury or property damage may result.
· Protect compressor against rain, moisture, frost, and dust.
· Compressor is only suitable for installations with the nominal
voltage stated on the motor plate.
· Do not in any way block or prevent the normal functioning of
the safety valve on the receiver.
· Only connect pneumatic equipment suitable for the max. pres-
sure indicated.
· Do not operate compressor at ambient temperatures exceeding
40°C/104°F or falling below 0°C/32°F.
· Do not touch compressor motor during operation as there is
a risk of burn due to high temperatures.
· Do not direct air flow at head or body.
· When a flammable liquid is sprayed, there may be danger of
fire or explosion, especially in closed rooms.
· Always keep the compressor out of reach of children.

How to operate the SILVER-LINE compressor
Your SILVER-LINE compressor is very easy to operate. Observe
the following simple instructions and you will get many years'
service from your compressor.
1. Visually inspect unit for shipping damage, contact your sup-
plier immediately if you think the unit may have been damaged.
2. Always keep the compressor in a vertical position during
use and transportation.
3. Place the compressor in a dustfree, dry and cool, yet
frostfree, room. Do not install in a closed cupboard, unless
adequate openings for ventilation are available (fig. 1). Ensure
that the compressor stands firmly on the floor.
4. Replace the cap on the air intake tube with the intake filter
(fig. 2).
5. Connect pneumatic equipment.
Important!
The compressor oil may be aggressive towards certain ga-
sket materials used in pneumatic equipment. We recom-
mend Teflon, Viton, etc.. Do not use polycarbonate filter
bowls. Contact your local SILVER-LINE distributor if you
need further information.
6. Plug the compressor into an outlet switch of nominal voltage
and ensure that fusing is adequate (see Technical Details).
7. Start the compressor using the 0/1 switch on the pressure
switch (fig. 3). The compressor will automatically switch off
at the preset pressure. If the motor does not start it may be due
to pressure in the receiver, and the motor will thenstart automati-
cally when the pressure reduces to approx. 6 bar/87 psi.
8. Always keep the compressor in a vertical position as oil may
run out of the intake filter. During transportation, mount the cap
on the inlet. Mechanical noise from the compressor in connec-
tion with handling does not have any functional importance.
Warning!
Never mount the transportation cap on oil-lubricated com-
pressors while there is still pressure in the compressor &
pressure vessel, as this may cause a pressure build up in
the motor housing.
9. Adjustment of pressure (fig. 4):
A: Max. pressure adjustment (cut-out)
B: Differential adjustment (cut-in)
The cut-in pressure (normally 6 bar) is set by adjustment
of differential screw B. Turn clockwise to reduce cut-in pressure.
The cut-out pressure is set by even adjustment of the two
screws A. (Cut-in pressure + differential = cut-out pressure).
Turn clockwise to increase cut-out pressure.
The switch is normally factory set for operation at 6-8 bar
(approx. 87-116 psi).
10. Adjustment of CONDOR pressure-switch (fig. 4a)
The cut-out pressure (normally 16 bar) is set by adjustment
of maximum pressure screw. (Cut-in pressure + different
pressure = cut-out pressure). Turn clockwise to increase
cut-out pressure.
The cut-in pressure (normally 14 bar) is set by adjustment
of differential screw. Turn clockwise to reduce cut-in pressure.
Technical details
The max. operation of the compressor is 50% of the operation
time, and the max. operation time is 15 min. at 8 bar/116 psi in
each cycle. Consequently, 15 min. standstill is required before
the next start. For tables with technical data and performance
curves, see page 21.
