WARNING: DO NOT use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Ensure that the atmosphere is free from
combustible gases and high concentrations of fine dust.
NEVER use compressed air for an unintended use. Compressed air has the potential to cause harm.
a)
Avoid directing compressed air towards animals or persons, and NEVER release compressed air towards
the skin.
b) Ensure the work area is debris-free and dry. Untidy workspaces raise the potential for injury.
c) Compressor should be assembled correctly. Using a compressor with guards, covers and components
removed is dangerous and may compromise the compressor's ability to perform.
d) DO NOT modify the compressor. Modifications to the compressor can be dangerous. Unapproved
modifications may not only hinder the compressor's ability to perform, but may result in harm being caused
to the operator. Repairs should be carried out by qualified personnel only, using only manufacturer verified
components.
Safety valves should not be modified or tampered with. Doing so can cause harm to the operator and
e)
damage the air compressor. The maximum pressure is predetermined by the manufacturer and should
not be adjusted.
f) Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders should be kept away from the compressor.
Unintentional interaction with the compressor is dangerous.
g) Do not abuse cables and hoses. Keep cables and hoses from heat, fluids and sharp edges. NEVER
attempt to strain the cables and hoses further than their fully extended reach, or allow them to become
tangled.
The air compressor should be stored correctly and depressurised. During storage and transportation
h)
the compressor should be free from pressure, ALWAYS expel the air from the air compressor after use.
i) Ensure that the pressure rating is compliant with the tool. ALWAYS check the air tool has a safety
working pressure that exceeds the working pressure of the machine.
j) Use appropriate protection for the task at hand. Suitable protection for the application; face masks
will protect from spray paints and goggles will protect from flying debris.
k) Operate the air compressor correctly. Adhere to the operation instructions provided in the manual.
NEVER allow children or persons unfamiliar with the operation of the air compressor use this product.
l) Disconnect accessories with care. Depressurise the tank and ensure that the air supply is turned off
prior to removing accessories and air tools.
m) Wear appropriate clothing. Loose hanging clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
n) Keep the air compressor dry and free from moisture. Condensation can become trapped within the
system. A specified release valve will remove moisture from the air compressor.
o) Ensure the compressor is compliant with local rules and regulations. Regular testing will determine
whether the air compressor is suitable for service in certain regions.
p) Ensure lubrication levels are within specification (where applicable). Operating the air compressor
without sufficient lubrication will affect the longevity of the components.
q) Take the correct precautions when performing maintenance. Ensure ALL compressed air is expelled
from the air compressor tank and the power supply is disconnected before commencing any
maintenance procedures.
r) Operate air compressor within an appropriate environment. DO NOT use in ambient temperatures
below 0°C, wet, or damp conditions. ONLY indoor use is permitted for air compressor operation.
s) Freezing of condensation within the system can damage components and create potential
for harm to the operator. This may be prevented by operating the air compressor in suitable ambient
temperatures, and by frequently expelling condensation from the system.

Unpacking Your Tool

WARNING: This device is very heavy and should NOT be unpacked and handled by a single person.
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged,
have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

Transport wheel installation
1. Place the air compressor unit on a secure flat surface ready for assembly, and locate the Transport
Wheels (14) and fixings
2. Carefully place the air compressor unit on its side to gain access to the wheel mounting hole
3. Slide the Axle (16) through the centre of the Transport Wheel, followed by the wheel mounting hole
4. Fasten using corresponding nut and crush washer
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other side
Rubber foot installation
1. Place the air compressor unit on a secure, flat surface to reveal the foot mounting hole (Image A). Locate
the Rubber Foot (12) and fixings
2. Slide the supplied fixing bolt through the bottom of the Rubber Foot (Image B), then through the foot
mounting hole, and fasten using the corresponding nut
3. Access to the other foot mounting hole is available from the air compressor's current position. Repeat
steps 1-2
Air filter installation
1. The threaded air intake port is located on the side of the Cylinder Head (Image C)
2. Screw the Air Filter (15) into the air intake port
Filling with motor oil
WARNING: This air compressor is supplied without oil. DO NOT attempt to start the motor before you have
filled the motor with the appropriate type and amount of oil.
WARNING: Only use an oil type listed in the 'Specification'. High viscosity oil could create blockages due
to improper circulation during cold starts. A low viscosity oil will be unable to lubricate the compressor
sufficiently.
Note: Always place the air compressor on a level surface before filling motor oil or checking oil levels.
1. Position the air compressor on a secure, flat surface
2. Remove the shipping plug from the Crankcase Breather (3) hole, and store in a safe place. The Crankcase
Breather hole is now accessible
Note: This air compressor features an external Oil Level Monitor (5) (Image D), for easy monitoring of oil levels.
3. Fill with suitable motor oil to the centre of the red 'full' mark on the Oil Level Monitor, see 'Specification'
for details regarding suitable motor oil
4. Screw the Crankcase Breather (3) into the Crankcase Breather hole
