Suggested Remedy

Insufficient pressure or decreased

outlet capacity

Air line hose leaking

Examine the air hose for any holes

and tears. If the hose is found to be

defective replace it.

Safety valve leaking

Examine the condition of the

safety valve. If the valve is leaking

immediately shut off the compressor

and cease using it. Have the unit

serviced/checked by an authorised

service centre and repaired. Don’t

continue to use the unit with a

leaking safety valve.

Excessive oil consumption

Oil level too high

Maintain the oil at the correct level

Hole in oil filling plug (14) blocked

Maintenance

1. After the first 10 hours of working, empty the crank case

of oil and refill with clean oil by removing the crank case

oil plug (left hand side of the crank case at the bottom)

Note.

Use good quality compressor lubricating oil.

SAE30 or L-DAB 100 over 10°C

SAE10 or L-DAB 68 under 10°C

2. After each subsequent 500 hours of operation, again

drain the oil and refill the crank case with clean oil.

3. After each day of operation unscrew the drain cock (10)

under the tank to drain out any condensation that is in the

tank. This will protect the tanks from rusting and prolong

the product life. Once the draining has been completed

screw the drain cock (10) closed.

4. Regularly check the air filter insert cartridge inside the

air filter assembly (15) and clean or replace the insert

when necessary.

5. Check daily the operation of the safety valve. This check

should be performed when the tank contains close to

max pressure in the tank.

To check the valve, pressurise the tank, and pull the ring

OUTWARDS on the safety valve.
Air should discharge from the valve.
Release the ring of the safety valve. When the ring is

released the air discharge must stop.

WARNINGS.

Safety glasses must be worn when performing this test.
