12.2 Maintaining the pressure vessel (fig. 1)
Attention!
To ensure a long service life for the pressure vessel
(11), drain off the condensate after each use by opening
the drain screw (10).
Release the vessel pressure beforehand (see 12.6.1).
The drain screw (10) is opened by turning it counter-
clockwise (when looking at the screw on the bottom of
the compressor) so that the condensate can be com-
pletely drained out of the pressure vessel (11).
Then close the drain screw (10) again (turn clockwise).
Check the pressure vessel (11) for rust and damage
each time before use.
The compressor shall not be operated if the pressure
vessel (11) is damaged or rusty.
If you discover damage, please contact the customer
service workshop.
Instructions on the disposal of condensate:
Dispose of the condensate in accordance with local
and national environmental regulations. Ensure that it
is not discharged into the wastewater system.
12.3 Safety valve (Fig. 2)
The safety valve (6) is set to the maximum permissible
pressure of the pressure vessel (11). It is not permitted
to adjust the safety valve (6) or to remove the connec-
tion lock (6b) between the drain nut (6a) and its cap
(6c). Actuate the safety (6) valve every 30 operating
hours but at least 3 times a year to ensure that it works
when required.
Turn the perforated exhaust nut (6a) anti-clockwise to
open it and use your hands to pull the valve rod out-
wards over the perforated exhaust nut (6a) to open the
outlet of the safety valve (9). Now, the valve audibly
releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust nut (6a) clock-
wise again.
12.4 Cleaning the air filter (Fig. 5)
The air filter (1) prevents dust and dirt being sucked in.
It is essential to clean this air filter (1) after at least
every 300 hours in service. A blocked air filter (1) sig-
nificantly reduces the compressor power.
Remove the screw (1a) on the air filter (1) to remove
it. You can now remove the filter insert (1b). Carefully
knock out the air filter insert (1b). These components
must then be blown out with compressed air (approx. 3
bar) and reassembled in reverse order.

12.6 Storage
m Attention!
Disconnect the mains plug, vent the device and all
connected compressed air tools.
Store the compressor in such a way that it cannot
be used by unauthorised persons.
m Attention!
Store the compressor only in dry locations that are
inaccessible for unauthorised persons. Do not tilt
the unit, only store it upright!
12.6.1
Release overpressure in the compressor by switching
off the compressor and using up the compressed air
still in the pressure vessel (11), e.g. with a compressed
air tool running at idle or with an air blow gun.
13. Transport (Fig. 3)
Use the transport handle (2) for transport.
When lifting the compressor, note its weight (see Tech-
nical data).
Ensure that the load is well secured when transporting
the compressor in a motor vehicle.
