FAQs
What is the warranty period for the SGS 24L Air Compressor?
The SGS 24L Air Compressor comes with a 2-Year Warranty from the date of purchase.
How often should I drain the air tank?
It is recommended to drain the tank after each use, or at least once a day, to remove accumulated moisture and prevent internal corrosion.
Can I use this compressor for continuous painting?
Yes, for typical spray painting tasks it can be used continuously. However, for very prolonged, high-volume spraying, monitor the compressor's duty cycle and consider a larger model if it cycles frequently.
What maintenance is required for this compressor?
Due to its oil-free design, no oil changes are needed. Periodic cleaning of the air filter and regular draining of the tank are the primary maintenance tasks.
What is the noise level of this compressor?
The SGS 24L Air Compressor operates at a noise level of 78 dB, making it relatively quiet for its class.
Can I use this compressor with impact wrenches?
While it might power an impact wrench for very short bursts, it is not recommended for continuous use with high-demand tools like impact wrenches. A larger capacity compressor is advised for such applications.
Does it come with a power cord and plug?
Yes, it comes with a standard 13A UK plug attached to the power cord.
Troubleshooting
Compressor does not start
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the main power switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the tank pressure is not already at its maximum cut-off point.
Air leaks from the safety valve
This may indicate an issue with the safety valve itself or that the tank pressure has exceeded its safe limit. If the pressure is normal, the valve may need replacement. If pressure is too high, check the pressure switch.
Low air output or pressure
Check that the pressure regulator is set correctly. Inspect air hoses and connections for leaks. Ensure the air filter is clean and not blocked. If the problem persists, the motor or pump may require servicing.
Compressor cycles on and off too frequently
This can happen if the air demand exceeds the compressor's capacity, especially with tools like impact wrenches. Ensure no air leaks in the system. For continuous use, a larger compressor may be necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Quiet operation at 78 dB.
Oil-free design requires no maintenance.
Efficient and quick tank pressurization.
Large 24L tank provides ample air supply.
Includes pressure regulator and gauges for control.
Durable and safety certified construction.
Cons
Not suitable for continuous use with high-demand tools like impact wrenches.
24L capacity may be insufficient for prolonged heavy-duty tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unpack the compressor and ensure all protective packaging is removed.
Place the compressor on a stable, level surface.
Connect your desired air tool to the quick coupler located on the pressure regulator.
Plug the standard 13A UK plug into a suitable power outlet.
Turn the power switch on. The compressor will begin to fill the tank.
Adjust the pressure regulator to the desired PSI for your tool. The gauges will indicate tank pressure and regulated output pressure.
Compatibility:
Uses a standard quick-release coupler for most common air tools.
Recommended for tools requiring moderate air consumption, such as:
Spray guns (for paint, lacquers, stains)
Tire inflators
Brad nailers and staple guns
Blow guns
Not recommended for continuous use with high-CFM tools like impact wrenches or sanders.
Care:
Oil-Free Design: No oil changes are required.
Drain Valve: Regularly drain the tank of any moisture by opening the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. This is crucial to prevent rust and corrosion. Do this after each use or at least daily.
Air Filter: Periodically check and clean the air intake filter. Replace if damaged or excessively dirty.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
