Air Pressure Regulator
To adjust the pressure turn the Pressure
Regulator dial anti clockwise to decrease
the pressure and turn the dial clockwise
to increase pressure.
OPERATION
On / off switch
Pressure regulator
Output pressure gauge
Outlet valves
Starting the Air Compressor
Once the air compressor is connected to the mains supply use as follows:
a) Pull up the button on the pressure switch this will ‘click’ up into posi-
tion. The motor/pump will now start to run.
b) Check that the motor/pump automatically stops when the pressure
inside the air receiver reaches approximately (10BAR) (check gauge). Ro-
tate the air regulator to the desired outlet pressure and plug in hose with
chosen air tool connected to the other end. The air is now ready for use.
You may need to finely adjust as the air tool is used.
c) Check that the motor/ pump automatically starts, when the pressure
falls by approximately 2BAR.
When the compressor is running correctly you will hear the following:
a) When the air compressor starts from no pressure within the tank there is
a whistle of ‘leaking’ air from the pressure switch for about 20-30 seconds.
b) Whenever the motor stops there will be a quick sudden discharge of
air. (This is the motor start and stop air unloading system being activated).
Shutting down the Air Compressor
Never stop the compressor by unplugging it. The pressure switch must
always be used as this ensures that air is discharged from the head. This
makes the starting easier for the motor and prevents motor damage.
