• Fill the included compressor oil into the crank
housing and insert the included oil sealing plug
(18) into the oil filling opening.
• Check the oil level using the marks on the sight
glass (16). The oil level should be within the red
circle.
9. Before starting the equipment
• Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
• Fill the crank housing with oil as described in 8.5.
• Check the equipment for damage which may have
occurred in transit. Report any damage immediate-
ly to the transport company which was used to de-
liver the compressor.
• Install the compressor near the point of consump-
tion.
• Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension ca-
bles).
• Make sure that the intake air is dry and dustfree.
• Do not install the compressor in a damp or wet
room.
• The compressor may only be used in suitable
rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient tem-
perature from +5 °C to 40 °C). There must be no
dust, acids, vapors, explosive gases or inflamma-
ble gases in the room.
• The compressor is designed to be used in dry
rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in ar-
eas where work is conducted with sprayed water.
• The oil level in the compressor pump has to be
checked before putting the equipment into opera-
tion.
• The compressor may only be used outdoor briefly
when the ambient conditions are dry.
• The compressor must always be kept dry and must
not be left outdoors after work is complete.
10. Starting up
m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before
using it for the first time!
10.1 On/off switch (fig. G)
Pull the ON/OFF switch (5) upwards to switch on the
compressor. To switch off the compressor, press the
ON/OFF switch down.
10.2 Pressure adjustment: (fig. A; B)
The pressure at the manometer (9) is adjusted with the
pressure regulator (8).
The pressure set can be utilised by connecting to the
quick-coupling (10).
The boiler pressure is read off at the manometer (11).
The boiler pressure is taken at the quick-coupling (19).

10.3 Pressure switch position (fig. A)
The pressure switch (7) is set in the factory. Switch-
on pressure approx. 8 bar, switch-off pressure ap-
prox. 10 bar
10.4 Overload switch
The motor is equipped with an overload switch. If
the compressor is overloaded, the overload switch
switches off automatically to protect the compressor
against overheating. If the overload switch has trig-
gered, switch the compressor off at the on/off switch
(5) and wait until the compressor has cooled down.
Then press the overload switch (43) and restart the
compressor.
10.5 Relieving the overpressure after work is
complete
Release the excess pressure by switching off the
compressor and using the compressed air which
is still left in the pressure vessel, e.g. with a com-
pressed air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-
out pistol.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The
customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these
regulations.
When working with spray attachments and during
temporary use outdoors, the device must be
connected to a residual current circuit breaker with a
trigger current of 30 mA or less.
Important information
In the event of an overloading the motor will switch
itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the
motor can be switched back on again.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened 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.
