Changing the oil
Switch off the motor and remove the power plug from the socket outlet.
Release any remaining air pressure and then unscrew the oil drain plug
from the compressor pump and remove. Direct the oil into an appropriate
container. If any oil still remains, tilt the compressor slightly. When all the
old oil has been removed, screw the oil drain plug into place.
Cleaning
Clean the items with a soft brush or a wipe moistened with a suitable bio-
degradable solvent. Do not use flammable liquids like petrol or alcohol,
they are a risk and will damage the finish and plastic parts.
Cleaning/ changing the air filter (Monthly)
Please note: This compressor should not be used in a heavily dusty atmos-
phere. The warranty does not cover damage caused by a blocked air filter.
The air filter must be cleaned or replaced monthly, or more frequently if
the compressor is in regular use. The air filter can be accessed easily by
unscrewing the air filter cover (wing nut) at the side of the pump.
