Operation of pressure vessels
• Anyone who operates a pressure vessel must keep
this in good working order, operate and monitor it cor-
rectly, perform the necessary maintenance and servic-
ing works immediately and implement safety mea-
sures as required according to the circumstances.
• The regulatory authority can instruct necessary moni-
toring measures in individual cases.
• A pressure vessel must not be operated if it exhibits a
defect that poses a danger to personnel or third par-
ties.
• Check the pressure vessel for rust and damage each
time before use. The compressor shall not be operat-
ed if the pressure vessel is damaged or rusty. If you
discover damage, please contact the customer ser-
vice workshop.
Store all safety information and instructions safely.

Product-specific safety
instructions
ATTENTION
The following basic safety measures must be observed
when using this compressor for protection against elec-
tric shock, and the risk of injury and fire. Read and ob-
serve these instructions before using the product.
WARNING
The product is not designed for use in potentially explo-
sive atmospheres. Use in such environments is only
permitted if suitable additional measures are taken to
ensure safety. Please consult a specialist or refer to the
relevant regulations before using the product in a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere.
• The product shall not be operated by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
abilities or who have inadequate experience or knowl-
edge.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried
out by children.
• Keep the product away from rain and moisture. Water
penetrating the product increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
• Avoid using the product at temperatures below +5°C.
• Do not leave the product unattended.
CAUTION
Operate the product for a short time only. Long, uninter-
rupted operation of more than 10 min. overheats the
product. Switch off the product immediately and let it
cool down for at least 10 mins
DANGER
Danger of injury!
Do not allow the items to be inflated above the pressure
intended for them. These can burst and lead to injuries
and/or material damage.
• Do not exceed the permissible power range of the
compressor. Do not inflate truck, tractor or other large
tyres.
• Do not work on materials that are or could be poten-
tially flammable or explosive.
• Never misuse the product.
• Always keep the product clean, dry and free from oil
or grease. Remove dust after each use and before
storage.
• Never use petrol or other flammable liquids to clean
the product! Vapours remaining in the product can be
ignited by sparks and cause the product to explode.
• Remain attentive at all times! Always pay attention
to what you are doing and always use common
sense. Never use the product if you are unable to
concentrate or feel unwell.
• Avoid over-stressing the piping system by using flexi-
ble hose connections to prevent kinking.
• In case of pressures above 7 bar, it is recommended
to equip supply hoses with a safety cable (e. g. a wire
rope).
• Do not touch the hot components of the product!
• Ensure that all hoses and fixtures are suitable for the
maximum permissible working pressure of the com-
pressor.
Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules.
However, individual residual risks can arise during
operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of
improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instruc-
tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the operat-
ing instructions as a whole are observed.
• Prevent the product being unintentionally started up.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the product is in operation.
• Comply with the stipulated maintenance and safety in-
structions in the operating instructions.
