4. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Before carrying out any maintenance, switch compressor off, unplug it from the mains electricity supply, depressurise the
tank and allow unit to cool down fully.
4.1. Keep the compressor clean and free of dust. Do not use cleaning agents. Wipe the compressor using a slightly dampened cloth and
blow it over with compressed air, if available.
4.2. Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear. Do not allow any extraneous material to enter the unit via any of the ventilation
openings.
4.3. To prevent corrosion to the tank, drain it on a regular basis by opening the drainage tap at the end of the tank, after draining ensure
the drainage tap is fully closed.
4.4. The troubleshooting guide below is intended to give an indication of the type of fault which may develop with the compressor over a
long period of service. The chart is not intended as a guide on how to repair the fault, it is recommended that the compressor is
returned to an authorised service agent for rectification of serious faults.

3.7. Do not leave the compressor running for any length of time with the air tool attached not being used. If there is a pause in the
work, switch the compressor off. These compressors have a duty-cycle of 30%. For each period of use, a rest period of 70% of the
cycle period should be left before using it again. For example, after 3 minutes use, a rest period of 7 minutes should follow. If the
motor over-heats, the thermal cut-out will operate and cut the motor out. When the temperature has returned to normal, the motor will
re-start automatically.
3.8. When work is complete, switch the compressor off by pressing the I/O switch and releasing. Disconnect the air tool from the
compressor and relieve remaining pressure. Open the drainage tap at the end of the tank, tip the compressor to allow any moisture to
be drained from the tank. This prevents corrosion on the inside of the tank. Close drainage tap.
3.9. If it is intended to store the compressor away, allow it to cool before storing it carefully in a safe, dry, dust free, childproof location.

Low pressure values.
Irregular functioning of the compressor or
broken pressure switch.
Excessive air consumption, leaks from
