3 Operation

3.1 Placement

The compressor can be placed all over where it is dry. In order to secure the maximum air intake the distance
between the compressor and the wall should not be less than 20 cm. In addition it is recommended that the
compressor is placed in a cool room.

3.2 Start/stop-procedure

Connect electricity and start the compressor by turning the switch on the pressure switch. Please note: when
the compressor is to be turned off always turn the knob on the pressure switch. (as the pressure is shut off
please check if the compressor ventilates through the pressure switch. - after ventilation it is more easy to
restart the compressor due to less resistance. When the compressor is used for the first time the rotation
direction of the flywheel should be checked. The rotation must follow the direction indicated by the red arrow
on the motor. If the rotation direction is not correct the phase must be turned. In case of this please contact an
electrician. When using the compressor for the first time sometimes oil will leak. This is normal. At all time the
oil glass should be 1/2 filled.

3.3 Pressure regulation

If the compressor is overloaded the motor protection relay will shut off the machine. For safety reasons a
safety valve is mounted on the compressor in connection with the pressure switch. This function is to level out
the pressure if the pressure exceeds the approved pressure on the tank.
Air outlet happens from the end of the tank. The compressor comes with a plastic bag with quick couplings
which is to be mounted on the mouth at the end of the tank. The machine has been adjusted to pressure of 8
bar. However the working pressure can be adjusted to the pressure the tank has been approved to.(Please
see the sign on the tank). The pressure can be adjusted under the dark cap on the pressure switch by turning
the screw in the + or - direction. After adjustment the pressure is read on the pressure gauge.
Normally the compressor will stop at a pressure of 8 bar and starts again when the pressure is below 6 bar.

3.4 Limitation of use

The compressor cannot directly be used for respiration purposes. The air in the compressor is not clean
enough. If questions regarding compressed air for respiration should appear please contact RENNER GmbH.

3.5 Transport of compressors

At the transport of compressors with a product of over 1000 = capacity x max. receiver pressure, the receiver
has to be approved again. (doesn't count for the transport from RENNER to user).
