• Rub the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pressure.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not
use any cleaning products or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device.
Make sure that no water can penetrate the device interior.
• The hose and injection tools must be disconnected from the compressor before cleaning.
The compressor must not be cleaned with water, solvents or similar.
11.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel (fig. 4)
m Important! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel (7), drain off the
condensed water by opening the drain valve (11) each time after using.
Release the vessel pressure at the overpressure valve (2) beforehand. 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 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 suitable collection point.
11.3 Safety valve (Fig. 1)
The safety valve (5) has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel.
It is not permitted to adjust the safety valve or remove the connection lock (5.2) between the
exhaust nut (5.1) and its cap (5.3).
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 (5.1) counterclockwise to open it
and use your hands to pull the valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut (5.1) to
open the safety valve outlet. Now, the valve audibly releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust
nut clockwise again.
11.4 Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost-free place that is inaccessible
to children. The optimum storage temperature lies between 5 and 30 ˚C.
m Important!
Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equipment and all connected pneumatic
tools. Switch off the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that
it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person.
