10.1 Cleaning
• Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or
blow it down with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment im-
mediately after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic
parts in the equipment. Ensure that no water can
get into the interior of the equipment.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying
tools from the compressor before cleaning. Do not
clean the compressor with water, solvents or the
like.
10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel/
condensed water (Fig. 1)
m Important!
To ensure a long service life of the pressure ves-
sel (6), drain off the condensed water by opening
the drain valve (14) each time after using.
Release the vessel pressure first. 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 pressure ves-
sel. Then close the drain screw again (turn it clock-
wise). Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and
damage each time before using. Do not use the com-
pressor with a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If
you discover any damage, then please contact the
customer service workshop.
10.3 Safety valve (Fig. 1/Pos. 15)
The safety valve (15) 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 (15.2) between the exhaust nut (15.1)
and its cap (15.3).
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 (15.1) coun-
terclockwise to open it and use your hands to pull the
valve rod outwards over the perforated exhaust nut
(15.1) 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. 6)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN
marks on the oil level window (17).
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 (Figure 6)
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of
the socket. After releasing any air pressure you can
unscrew the oil drain plug (18) 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 recommend tilting the compres-
sor slightly. When the oil has drained out, re fit the oil
drain plug (18).
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 until it comes up to the
maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on the
oil level window (17) (Fig. 6 pos. 17.1). Do not exceed
the maximum filling quantity. Overfilling the equip-
ment may result in damage. Reinsert the oil sealing
plug (12) into the oil filler opening.
10.6 Cleaning the intake filter (Fig. 8 - 9)
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.
Then pull off the filter cover (K). Now you can remove
the air filter (L) and the filter housing (M). Carefully tap
out the air filter, filter cover and filter housing. Then
blow out these parts with compressed air (approx. 3
bar) and reinstall 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!
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 compressed
air tool running in idle mode or with a blow-out pistol.
