ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE
To adjust the outlet air pressure, use the red coloured regulator knob
and check the pressure on the outlet pressure gauge, Pic. 11.
If the pressure needs to be lower, turn anti clockwise.
If the pressure needs to be higher, turn clockwise.
Use the gauge to ensure you set the correct working pressure.
Note: Different air tools require different operating pressures. Always
check with the tool manufacturer if unsure.
NOTE! Maximum pressure is 10BAR (145PSI). Check tool
operating pressure before connecting and operating your air
tools.
SAFETY VALVE
Pic. 12
NOTE: When checking the safety valve ALWAYS wear safety glasses.
To check the operation of the safety valve the air tank will need to
be full. Gently pull the ring outwards. This should release air under
pressure. Release the ring and this should stop the air out flow once the
tank pressure has dropped.
If the safety valve does NOT work in this manner, STOP the air
compressor immediately and have the air compressor
checked / serviced by an authorised service centre.
