Oil
WARNING. The air compressor must be filled with oil
before first use.
To prevent possible spillage of oil during transport, the
compressor oil is supplied in a separate container. It must
be added to the compressor before turning the compressor
on. Failure to add the oil will cause non-repairable damage
to the compressor and will void the warranty.
1. Remove the plastic oil filling plug (14) located on the top
of the crank case of the compressor housing.
2. Use the oil supplied to fill the crank case until the oil level
as seen in the oil level glass (16) is up to the mid point of
the red circle.
3. Replace the oil filling plug (14). Ensure the plug is fully
fitted and firmly in position.
Air filter
WARNING. The air filter must be added before use.
Failure to fit the air filter will
damage the compressor and will
void the warranty.
1. To fit the air filter (15) you
need to locate the inlet
hole on the right side of the
compressor housing then
carefully hand tighten the
thread of the air filter in a
clockwise direction until tight.
Pre-start routine
1. Ensure that the location for the compressor is clean,
dry and well ventilated.
2. Ensure the crank case has been filled with oil and is
at the correct level, and the air filter has been fitted.
3. Open the regulated output
valve (6). Open the valve by
rotating the air tap (17) so it is
in line with the air outlet (refer
to the OPEN picture).
To close the valve, rotate the
air tap so it is facing to the right
or the left side of the air valve
(refer to the CLOSED picture).
4. Start the compressor by
following the procedure in
the section “To start and stop
the compressor”. For the first
time of operation, run the
compressor for 10 minutes
with no load and with the
outlet valve open to ensure all
parts are well lubricated.
WARNING. Be aware that
pressurised air will be discharged from the outlet and care
should be taken that this discharge is not directed towards
you the operator, or other persons within the area.
To start & stop the compressor
1. Check the rating label on the compressor indicates
230V–240V.
2. Plug in the mains cable of the compressor to a standard
240V household power point and turn on.
3. To start the compressor, push the On/Off lever (3)
downward so that the lever is in the horizontal position.
