9 When the compressor is not in use it should be switched off, disconnected from the mains supply and the air drained from the tank.
8 DO NOT carry out any welding operations on any pressurised parts of the vessel.
1.3. INSPECTION OF PRESSURE TANK BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
1.3.1. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 it is the responsibility of the owner of the compressor to initiate
a system of inspection that both denes the frequency of the inspection and appoints a person who has specic responsibility for
carrying out the inspection.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1. Fix the wheels by placing the stub axle through the tank bracket as in fig.1.
4.2. Ensure that there is a washer either side of the bracket and tighten the nut.
4.3. The wheel for the SAC10030F is shown. For the SAC05030F: tighten the nut onto the stub axle
as above and tap the hub caps on with a soft faced hammer.
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
5.1. Take care when selecting tools for use with the compressor. Air tool manufacturers normally
express the volume of air required to operate a tool in cubic feet per minute (cfm). This refers to free air delivered by the compressor
(‘air out’) which varies according to the pressure setting. Do not confuse this with the compressor displacement which is the air taken
in by the compressor (‘air in’). ‘Air out’ is always less than ‘air in’ - due to losses within the compressor.

5.2. STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
5.2.1. The compressor is tted with a push/pull type of ON/OFF switch (g.2.1).
5.2.2. To turn the compressor ‘ON’ pull the switch knob upwards. To turn the
compressor ‘OFF’ push the switch knob downwards.
5.2.3. Ensure that the regular cap (g.2.3) is turned fully anticlockwise and
no tool is connected to the quick release coupling (g.2.6).
5.2.4. Connect to the electrical supply and start the compressor by pulling
the ON/OFF switch knob upwards.
5.2.5. Leave the compressor running. Make sure that the pressure in the tank
rises and that the compressor stops automatically when the maximum
pressure value allowed - written on the specification plate and shown
on the gauge (fig.2.4) - is achieved. The compressor will now operate
automatically. The pressure switch (fig.2.2) stops the motor when the
maximum tank pressure is reached, and will restart it when pressure
falls below the minimum threshold - approx. 2 bar (29psi) less than the
maximum pressure.
5.2.6. Stop the compressor by pushing the switch knob downwards.
5.2.7. The air inside the cylinder heads will vent, making the restart easier and
preventing the motor from being damaged.
8 DO NOT, other than in an emergency, stop the compressor by switching
off the electrical supply, or by pulling the plug out of the socket, as the
pressure relief will not then occur and motor damage may result upon
restart.
5.2.8. When the compressor runs correctly and is stopped correctly there will be a hiss of compressed air when the motor stops. This is caused
by pressure switch venting the cylinder heads to allow a soft start the next time that the unit runs.
5.2.9. The output pressure is regulated by the pressure regulator cap (fig.2.3). Turn the cap clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise
to reduce it. The output pressure is shown on smaller gauge (fig.2.5) The cap can be locked at any required setting by tightening the
locking ring (fig.2.3a) up against the underside of the tap. To determine the correct working pressure for any piece of equipment check the
corresponding manual. When the compressor is not being used, set the regulated pressure to zero so as to avoid damaging the pressure
regulator.
NOTE: If the motor does not cut in and out, but runs continuously when using an air appliance, the capacity of the compressor
may be too small for the equipment or tool.
The larger gauge (fig.2.4) indicates the pressure inside the main tank. The smaller gauge (fig.2.5) indicates the pressure supplied to
the air equipment. Should the pressure in the main tank exceed the pressure switch maximum, the safety valve to the rear of the
pressure switch (fig.2.7) will activate.
WARNING! For this reason DO NOT tamper with, or adjust, the pressure switch or safety valve.
5.2.10. The compressor is fitted with a thermal overload trip. If the unit stops, switch it off and wait for the motor to cool down before restarting.
If this happens frequently, it suggests that the compressor is not powerful enough for the duty required.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. Drain condensate from the tank on a daily basis.
6.2. Disconnect the machine from the electrical supply and turn the drain tap (fig.3) in an
anticlockwise direction.
6.3. When the air flow is free from condensate, re-tighten the tap.
6.4. To clean: rub over with a damp, soapy cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or solvent cleaners,
6.5. When not in disconnect from the electrical supply, drain the tank and store in a cool, dry,
childproof location.
