Usage
:Usage Instructions :
Safety First
- Read and understand the user manual before operation.
- Always wear safety gear: goggles, gloves, and hearing protection.
- Operate in a well-ventilated, dry area away from flammable materials.
Setup
- Place the compressor on a flat, stable surface.
- Ensure the power supply matches the motor rating (usually 230V, 50Hz single-phase).
- Check oil level (if oil-lubricated) before starting.
- Inspect for any transport damage or loose fittings.
Starting the Compressor
- Connect to the power source.
- Turn ON using the pressure switch or ON/OFF button.
- Allow the tank to pressurize (watch the pressure gauge).
- The motor will stop automatically once the cut-out pressure is reached.
Connecting Tools
- Use an appropriate air hose rated for the pressure.
- Connect air tools using quick-connect fittings.
- Adjust the outlet pressure using the regulator knob to match the tool's required pressure.
Operation
- Monitor pressure gauges during use
- Tank pressure : Total pressure stored.
- Outlet pressure : Pressure supplied to the tool.
- Avoid continuous operation beyond the duty cycle (typically 50%-75% for direct drive).
- Let the unit rest between cycles to avoid overheating.
Shutting Down
- Turn off the compressor.
- Disconnect power.
- Release pressure from the tank via the drain valve or safety valve.
- Store in a clean, dry area.
Maintenance :
Daily Checks
- Inspect for air or oil leaks.
- Drain condensation from the air tank via the drain valve (bottom of the tank).
- Check oil level (if applicable).
- Ensure the air filter is clean.
Weekly Maintenance
- Clean the air filter with compressed air or replace if dirty.
- Inspect safety valve operation - pull to check it releases pressure.
Monthly Maintenance
- Check oil quality (for oil-lubricated models):
- If dark or contaminated, replace.
- Inspect power cord and connections for damage.
- Tighten loose nuts, bolts, or fittings.
Oil Change (Every 3 Months or ~100 hours)
- Warm up the compressor for 2-3 minutes.
- Turn off and unplug.
- Remove the oil drain plug and drain into a container.
- Refit the drain plug.
- Refill with compressor-grade oil (SAE 30 or equivalent) to the correct level.
- Do not overfill.
Annual Maintenance
- Inspect pressure switch and motor for wear.
- Clean cooling fins and fan to ensure proper airflow.
- Inspect tank for internal corrosion (done by a technician if needed).
Storage Tips
- Store in a dry, clean location.
- If storing long-term : Drain all air and moisture, Cover to prevent dust ingress, Disconnect from power.
