The details and designations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, which are
displayed on the outer packaging of the processed material, must be observed. Additional
protective measures are to be undertaken if necessary, particularly the wearing of suitable
clothing and masks.
The work room has to be bigger than 30 m3 and have sufficient ventilation for spraying
and drying. Never spray into the wind. It is always imperative to observe the regulations of
your local police authorities when spraying combustible or hazardous substances.
Never process media such as white petroleum spirit, butyl alcohol and methylene chloride
with the PVC pressure hose (reduced life span).
5.3
Operating pressure vessels
An operator of a pressure vessel is required to keep the pressure vessel in good working
order, to operate it properly, to supervise its use, to carry out essential maintenance and
repair work immediately, and to introduce essential safety measures according to
requirements.
The supervisory authorities may order essential safeguards from case to case.
A pressure vessel may not be operated if it has any defects which constitute a danger to
employees or third parties.
The pressure vessel must be regularly inspected for damage, e.g. rust. If you discover any
damage, then please contact the customer service workshop.
6 POINTS TO NOTE WHEN SETTING UP THE COMPRESSOR
Examine the machine for signs of transit damage. Report any damage immediately to the
company which delivered the compressor.
The compressor should be set up near the working consumer.
Avoid long air lines and long supply lines (extensions).
Make sure the intake air is dry and dust-free.
Do not set up the compressor in damp or wet rooms.
The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient
temperature from +5°C to +40°C). There must be no dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases
or inflammable gases in the room.
The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the
compressor in areas where work is conducted with sprayed water.
7 ASSEMBLY AND STARTING
Important! You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the
first time.
7.1
Fitting the wheels (3)
Fit the supplied wheels as shown in Fig. 3.
7.2
Fitting the supporting foot (4)
Fit the supplied rubber stopper as shown in Fig. 4.
7.3
Voltage
The compressor is equipped with a mains cable with shock-proof plug. This can be connected
to any 230V ~ 50Hz shock-proof socket which is protected by a 16 A fuse. Before you use the
machine, make sure that the mains voltage complies with the specifications on the rating plate.
Long supply cables, extensions, cable reels etc. cause a drop in voltage and can impede
motor start-up. In the case of low temperatures below +5°C, motor start-up is jeopardized as a
result of stiffness.
