Pre-Operation Checks

- 6 -

1. Remove the Oil Filler Travel

plug and fill with the SAE 30

oil supplied, to the centre of

the red dot on the oil sight

glass.

2. Screw in the Breather

3. Screw the air filter,

supplied, into the

cylinder head, fully.

Before using your compressor it is necessary to perform the following operations, ensuring

the unit is NOT plugged into the mains supply.

4. Screw in the Tap and Regulator sub assembly

tightly, (see Figs 3 & 4), noting that PTFE tape is

already in place. Ensure the tap is uppermost.

5. The pressure regulator should be set to its lowest

setting e.g. turned fully anti clockwise.

6. Check that the air receiver drain valve at the

base of the receiver is fully CLOSED.

IMPORTANT: When using the compressor for the first time, open the drain cock and run the

compressor for at least 10 minutes, off load, in order for full lubrication to take place (see

operation which follows).

Once this is done, allow the compressor to sit for a minute or two, then recheck the oil level.

Remove the breather and top up to the middle of the dot in the oil sight glass if necessary.

7. Ensure the machine is located on a

level surface in a clean dry

environment with adequate ventilation

and plenty of air flow around the unit.

DO NOT place any materials

whatsoever on the unit.

8. Now connect the air hose to the air outlet, and at the other end to the air tool -

screwed on directly.
