Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often dam-
aged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through
windows or doors
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fas-
tened or routed
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to
being driven over
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used
and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly.
Make sure that the connection cable does not hang on the
power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable
VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables with the
marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connection cable
is mandatory.
AC motor
The mains voltage must be 220-240 V ~ .
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a cross-section
2
of 1.5 mm .
Connections and repairs of electrical equipment may only be
carried out by an electrician.
Please provide the following information in the event of any
enquiries:
• Type of current for the motor
• Machine data - type plate
• Machine data - type plate

10. Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

m Important!
Pull out the power plug before doing any cleaning and mainte-
nance work on the equipment. Risk of injury from electric shock!
m Important!
Wait until the equipment has cooled down completely! Risk of
burns!
m Important!
Always depressurize the equipment before carrying out any
cleaning and maintenance work! Risk of injury!
10.1 Cleaning
• Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it down with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment immediately
after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and some
soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the equipment. Ensure
that no water can get into the interior of the equipment.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from
the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the compres-
sor with water, solvents or the like.
10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel
(fig. 1)
Important! To ensure a long service life of the pressure ves-
sel (8), drain off the condensed water by opening the drain
valve (10) each time after using. Release the vessel pressure
first (see 10.7.1). Open the drain screw by turning counter-
clockwise (looking at the screw from the bottom of the compres-
sor) so that all the condensed water can run out of the pressure
vessel. Then close the drain screw again (turn it clockwise).
Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each
time before using.
Do not use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure
vessel. If you discover any damage, then please contact the
customer service workshop.
m Important!
The condensed water from the pressure vessel will contain re-
sidual oil. Dispose of the condensed water in an environmen-
tally compatible manner at a suitable collection point.
10.3 Safety valve (fig. 3)
The safety valve (19) has been set for the highest permitted
pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the
safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate the safety valve from
time to time to ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring
with sufficient force until you can hear the compressed air being
released. Then release the ring again.
10.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals
(fig. 11)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the
oil level window (18).
Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equivalent. The
original oil filling must be changed after 100 hours in opera-
tion; thereafter the oil must be drained and replaced with new
oil after every 500 hours in operation.
10.5 Changing the oil (fig. 1, 10, 11)
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Remove the oil sealing plug (16). After releasing any air pres-
sure you can unscrew the oil drain plug (12) from the compres-
sor pump (13).
To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled manner,
hold a small metal chute under the opening and collect the oil
in a vessel. If the oil does not drain out completely, we recom-
mend tilting the compressor slightly. When the oil has drained
out, re-fit the oil drain plug (12).
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil.
To fill in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the compres-
sor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil through the oil filler
opening (20) until it comes up to the maximum level. This is
marked with a red dot on the oil level window (18) (fig. 11).
Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity. Overfilling the
equipment may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing plug
(16) into the oil filler opening (20).
