15.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel
m Important!
To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel
(12) , drain off the condensed water by opening the
drain valve (21) each time after using. Release the
vessel pressure first (see 10.5). Open the drain screw
by turning counter-clockwise (looking at the screw
from the bottom of the compressor) 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 dam-
age 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 residual oil. Dispose of the condensed water
in an environmentally compatible manner at a suita-
ble collection point.
15.3 Safety valve (Fig. B)
The safety valve (20) has been set for the highest per-
mitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not permit-
ted to adjust the safety valve or remove the connec-
tion lock (20.2) between the exhaust nut (20.1) and its
cap (20.3).
Actuate the safety valve every 30 operating hours but
at least 3 times a year, to ensure that it works when
required. Turn the perforated exhaust nut (20.1) coun-
terclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the
valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut
(20.1) to open the safety valve outlet. Now, the valve
audibly releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust nut
clockwise again.
15.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals
(fig. F)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be at the centre of the oil sight glass
(16) (red dot).
15.5 Changing the oil (Fig. L)
The first oil filling must be changed after 10 operating
hours; afterwards perform an oil change every 50 op-
erating hours.
Switch the motor off and unplug the mains plug from
the power outlet. Remove the oil drain plug (15). Ad-
ditionally open the oil sealing plug (18).
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 recommend tilting the compressor
slightly.

When the oil has drained out, re-fit the oil drain plug
(15).
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
compressor stands on an even surface. Remove the
oil sealing plug (18) and add new oil through the oil
filler opening, until the oil level in the oil sight glass
(16) has reached the correct quantity (red dot).
Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity. Overfill-
ing the equipment may result in damage.
Reinsert the oil sealing plug (18) in the oil filler opening.

15.6 Cleaning the air filter

The air filter prevents dust and dirt being sucked in.
It is necessary to clean this filter at least every 300
operating hours.
A blocked air filter significantly reduces the compres-
sor power.
Remove the air filter by opening the wing nut (32) on
the air filter housing (1). Remove the wing nut (32) and
washer (33).
Then draw out the air filter housing (1). Draw the air
filter housing (1) apart. You can now remove the air
filter. Carefully knock out the air filter and the parts of
the filter housing.
These components must then be blown out with com-
pressed air (approx. 3 bar) and reassembled in re-
verse order.
