10. Cleaning, maintenance and storage
m Important!
Pull out the power plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the equipment. Risk of in-
jury from electric shock!
m Important!
Wait until the equipment has cooled down complete-
ly! Risk of burns!
m Important!
Always depressurize the equipment before carrying
out any cleaning and maintenance work! Risk of in-
jury!
10.1 Cleaning
• Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or
blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment im-
mediately after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaningagents or
solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying
tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not
clean the compressor with water, solvents or the
like.
10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel
(Fig. 1)
m Important! To ensure a long service life of the
pressure vessel (8), drain o󰀨 the condensed water by
opening the drain valve (10) each time after using.
Release the vessel pressure rst (see 10.7.1). Open
the drain screw by turning counter-clockwise (looking
at the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so
that all the condensed water can run out of the pres-
sure vessel. Then close the drain screw again (turn
it clockwise). Check the pressure vessel for signs of
rust and damage each time before using. Do not use
the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure
vessel. If you discover any damage, then please con-
tact the customer service workshop.
m Important!
The condensed water from the pressure vessel will
contain residual oil. Dispose of the condensed water
in an environmentally compatible manner at a suita-
ble collection point.
10.3 Safety valve (Fig. 3)
The safety valve (17) has been set for the highest
permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is pro-
hibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal.
Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure
that it works when required.
Pull the ring with su󰀩cient force until you can hear
the compressed air being released. Then release the
ring again.
10.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals
(Fig. 11)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN
marks on the oil level window (12).
Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equiva-
lent.
The original oil lling must be changed after 100
hours in operation; thereafter the oil must be drained
and replaced with new oil after every 500 hours in
operation.
10.5 Changing the oil (Fig. 1, 10, 11)
Switch o󰀨 the engine and pull the mains plug out of
the socket. Remove the oil sealing plug (15). After
releasing any air pressure you can unscrew the oil
drain plug (12) from the compressor pump (13).
To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled
manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening
and collect the oil in a vessel. If the oil does not drain
out completely, we recommend tilting the compres-
sor slightly.
When the oil has drained out, re-t the oil drain plug
(12).
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-o󰀨 point for old oil.
To ll in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the
compressor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil
through the oil ller opening (19) until it comes up to
the maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on
the oil level window (12) (Fig. 11). Do not exceed the
maximum lling quantity. Overlling the equipment
may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing plug
(15) into the oil ller opening (19).
10.6 Cleaning the intake lter (Fig. 3, 12, 13)
The intake lter prevents dust and dirt being drawn
in. It is essential to clean this lter after at least every
300 hours in service. A clogged intake lter will de-
crease the compressor’s performance dramatically.
Open the screw (E) to remove the intake lter (2x).
Then pull o󰀨 the lter cover (D). Now you can remove
the air lter (F). Carefully tap out the air lter, lter
cover and lter housing.
Then blow out these parts with compressed air (ap-
prox. 3 bar) and reinstall in reverse order.
