10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel
(Fig. 1)
m Important! To ensure a long service life of the
pressure vessel (11), 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 compressor) so
that all the condensed water can run out of the pres-
sure 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 con-
tact 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.
10.3 Safety valve (Fig. 2)
The safety valve (8) has been set for the highest per-
mitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is not per-
mitted to adjust the safety valve or remove the con-
nection lock (8.2) between the exhaust nut (8.1) and
its cap (8.3).
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 (8.1) coun-
terclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the
valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut
(8.1) to open the safety valve outlet. Now, the valve
audibly releases air. Then, tighten the exhaust nut
clockwise again.
10.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals
(Fig. 5)
Place the compressor on a level and straight sur-
face. The oil level must be between the MAX and
MIN marks on the oil level window (16).
Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equiva-
lent.
The original oil filling must be changed after 10 hours
in operation; thereafter the oil must be drained and
replaced with new oil after every 50 hours in opera-
tion.
10.5 Changing the oil (Fig. 1, 5)
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of
the socket. Remove the oil sealing plug (14). After
releasing any air pressure you can unscrew the oil
drain plug (17) from the compressor pump.
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 (17).
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.
Fill new oil through the oil filler opening (F) until it
comes up to the maximum level. This is marked with
a red dot on the oil level window (16). Do not exceed
the maximum filling quantity. Overfilling the equip-
ment may result in damage.
Reinsert the oil sealing plug (14) into the oil filler
opening (F).
10.6 Cleaning the intake filter (Fig. 1, 6, 10)
The intake filter prevents dust and dirt being drawn
in. It is essential to clean this filter after at least every
300 hours in service. A clogged intake filter will de-
crease the compressor's performance dramatically.
Open the screw (D) to remove the intake filter.
Then pull off the filter cover (A). Now you can remove
the air filter (C). Carefully tap out the air filter (C), filter
cover (A) and filter housing (B). Then blow out these
parts with compressed air (approx. 3 bar) and rein-
stall in reverse order.
10.7 Storage
m Important!
Pull out the mains plug and ventilate the equip-
ment and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch
off the compressor and make sure that it is se-
cured in such a way that it cannot be started up
again by any unauthorized person.
m Important!
Store the compressor only in a dry location
which is not accessible to unauthorized per-
sons. Always store upright, never tilted! Oil may
leak out!
10.7.1 Releasing excess pressure
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.
