Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts; Changing The Oil - EINHELL TC-AC 190/24/8 Manual De Instrucciones

8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Pull the power plug before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work on the ap-
pliance.
Warning!
Wait until the compressor has completely
cooled down. Risk of burns!
Warning!
Always depressurize the tank before carrying
out any cleaning and maintenance work.
Danger!
After use, always switch off the equipment
immediately and pull out the power plug.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
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.
8.2 Condensation water (Fig. 1)
Important. To ensure a long service life of the
pressure vessel (2), drain off the condensed wa-
ter by opening the drain valve (11) each time after
using. Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust
and damage each time before using. Do not use
the compressor with a damaged or rusty pressure
vessel. If you discover any damage, please con-
tact the customer service workshop.
Important!
The condensation water from the pressure
vessel will contain residual oil. Dispose of the
condensation water in an environmentally
compatible manner at the appropriate collec-
tion point.

8.3 Safety valve (10)
The safety valve has been set for the highest per-
mitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohi-
bited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal.
Actuate the safety valve from time to time to en-
sure that it works when required. Pull the ring with
suffi cient force until you can hear the compressed
air being released. Then release the ring again.
8.4 Check the oil level at regular intervals
Place the compressor on a level and straight
surface. The oil level must be between the two
marks MAX and MIN on the oil oil level window
(Fig. 10,11).
Changing the oil: Recommended hydraulic oil:
SAE 5W/40 or an alternative of the same quality.
It should be refi lled for the fi rst time after 10 hours
of operation. Thereafter the oil should be drained
and refi lled after every 100 hours in service.

8.5 Changing the oil

Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out
of the socket. After releasing any air pressure you
can unscrew the oil drainage screw (15) 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 compressor slightly.
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for
old oil.
When the oil has drained out, re-fi t the oil draina-
ge screw (15). Fill new oil through the oil fi ller ope-
ning (13) until it comes up to the required level.
Then replace the oil sealing plug (14).
8.6 Cleaning the intake fi lter (1)
The intake fi lter prevents dust and dirt being
drawn in. It is essential to clean this fi lter after at
least every 100 hours in operation. A clogged
intake fi lter will decrease the compressor's per-
formance dramatically. Undo the screw on the
air fi lter so that the halves of the air fi lter housing
can be opened. Use compressed air at low pres-
sure (approx. 3 bar) to blow out all the parts of
the fi lter and then assemble the fi lter in reverse
order. When cleaning, take adequate precautions
against dust (e.g. use a suitable face mask).
