5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure that you have read, understood and applied Section 1 Safety Instructions.
IMPORTANT: Use of extension leads to connect these compressors to the mains is not recommended as the resulting voltage drop
reduces motor and therefore pump performance, and could damage the compressor.
NOTE: 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.
8 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 the losses within the compressor.
5.1. BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT: Before you connect the equipment to the power supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the
supply voltage.
5.1.1. Check the equipment for damage which may have occurred in transit. Report any damage immediately to the transport company which
was used to deliver the compressor.
5.1.2. Install the compressor in the vicinity of the point of consumption.
5.1.3. Avoid long air lines and supply lines (extension cables).
5.1.4. Make sure that the intake air is dry and dust free.
5.1.5. DO NOT install the compressor in a damp or wet room.
5.1.6. The compressor may only be used in suitable rooms (with good ventilation and an ambient temperature from +5°C to 40°C). There
must be no dust, acids, vapours, explosive gases or inammable gases in the room.
5.1.7. The compressor is designed to be used in dry rooms. It is prohibited to use the compressor in areas where work is conducted with
sprayed water.
5.1.8. Operate the equipment only on a rm, level surface.
5.1.9. Use exible hoses in order to prevent transmitting unacceptable loads to the pipeline system at the connection between the compressor
system and the pipeline system.
5.1.10. It is essential to use separators, traps and drains which process the liquids produced by the compressor before the compressor system
is put into operation.
5.1.11. Supply hoses at pressures above 7 bar should be equipped with a safety cable
(e.g. a wire rope).
5.2. OPERATION
5.2.1. ON/OFF SWITCH
To switch on the compressor, pull out the On/O switch. Push the switch to turn o
(g.5).
5.2.2. SETTING THE PRESSURE
You can adjust the pressure on the pressure gauge using the pressure regulator
(g.5).
5.2.3. SETTING THE PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch is set at the factory. Cut-in pressure approx. 6 bar. Cut-out
pressure approx. 8 bar. The set pressure can be drawn from the quick-lock coupling
(g.5).
WARNING! Water that is allowed to remain in the tank during storage will corrode and
weaken the air tank which could cause the tank to rupture.
To avoid serious injury drain the tank after each use or daily.
IMPORTANT: depressurise the receiver tank at the end of every working day.

6. MAINTENANCE
▲ DANGER! Pull out the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance work on the equipment.
9 Disconnect from all energy supplies before servicing.
WARNING! Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down to avoid risk of burns.
WARNING! Always de-pressurise the tank before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.
WARNING! After use, always switch o the equipment immediately and pull out the power plug.
WARNING! Air contaminants taken into the compressor will aect optimum performance. Example: body ller dust or paint over-spray
will clog the pump intake lter and may cause internal damage to pump/motor components. Please note that any parts damaged by any
type of contamination will not be covered by warranty.
6.1. CLEANING
9 Clean immediately after every use.
9 Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust.
9 Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
8 DO NOT use cleaning agents or solvents. These could damage the plastic parts of the equipment.
8 DO NOT allow water to seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
6.2. CONDENSED WATER
IMPORTANT! To ensure a long service life of the pressure vessel, drain o the condensed water by opening the drain plug each time
after using.
9 Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage each time before using.
8 DO NOT use the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel.
9 If you discover any damage, please contact the Sealey service centre.
6.3. SAFETY VALVE
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited to adjust the safety valve or
remove its seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring with sucient force until
you can hear the compressed air being released. Then release the ring again.
6.4. CLEANING THE INTAKE FILTER
The intake lter prevents dust and dirt being drawn in. It is essential to clean this lter after at least every 300 hours in operation.
A clogged intake lter will decrease the compressor‘s performance dramatically. Open the halves of the air lter housing. Use
compressed air at low pressure (approx. 3 bar) to blow out all the parts of the lter and then assemble the lter in reverse order. When
cleaning, take adequate precautions against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).
6.5. STORAGE
WARNING! Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance and all connected pneumatic tools.
9 Switch o the compressor and make sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorized person.
