FAQs

Is this compressor suitable for professional continuous use?

This compressor is designed for general-purpose workshop applications and intermittent use. For continuous heavy-duty professional use, a higher duty cycle compressor might be more appropriate.

How often should I drain the tank?

It is recommended to drain the tank at the end of each use, or at least daily, to remove accumulated moisture and prevent rust.

What does 'oil-free' mean for this compressor?

An oil-free compressor does not require oil in the pump mechanism. This means easier maintenance (no oil changes), quieter operation, and the air output is free from oil contamination, which is beneficial for painting or food-grade applications.

Can I use this compressor for spray painting?

Yes, the oil-free design ensures that the air supplied is free from oil contamination, making it suitable for spray painting applications.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The maximum working pressure is 116psi (8bar).

How do I check the air filter?

The air filter is typically located near the air intake. Refer to the specific manual for exact location and cleaning/replacement instructions. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance.

What is the power consumption?

The compressor has a 2hp motor. The actual power consumption can vary based on the load, but it requires a standard 3-pin 13A fused socket.

Troubleshooting

Compressor does not start

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the pressure switch is in the 'on' position. Listen for any humming sound that might indicate a tripped thermal overload.

Compressor runs continuously and does not cut out

Check for air leaks in the system (hoses, fittings, tools). Inspect the pressure switch for proper operation. Ensure the maximum pressure setting is not exceeded.

Low air pressure output

Verify that the air intake filter is clean and not clogged. Check for leaks in the air system. Ensure the tool being used is not exceeding the compressor's free air delivery capacity.

Excessive noise

Ensure the compressor is on a stable, level surface. Check that all external fittings are tight. If the noise is unusual or grinding, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low maintenance due to oil-free operation.
  • Quiet operation compared to oiled compressors.
  • No risk of oil contamination in the air supply.
  • Durable construction with aluminium cylinder head and cast iron cylinder.
  • Easy to monitor pressure with twin gauges.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for continuous heavy-duty industrial use.
  • Air displacement might be insufficient for certain high-demand tools.
  • Requires a stable power source for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, level surface.
  2. Connect the desired pneumatic tool to the outlet using appropriate hoses and fittings.
  3. Plug the compressor into a standard 3-pin electrical outlet.
  4. Turn on the compressor; it will automatically build pressure and cut out when the maximum is reached. The gauges will indicate tank and working pressures.

Compatibility:

This compressor is compatible with most standard pneumatic tools requiring up to 116psi working pressure and a free air delivery of 4.6cfm. Always check the air requirements of your specific tool.

Care:

  • Drain the Tank: Regularly drain any accumulated moisture from the receiver tank to prevent corrosion. This is typically done via a drain valve at the bottom of the tank.
  • Clean Air Filter: Periodically check and clean or replace the air intake filter to ensure efficient operation.
  • Inspect Hoses and Fittings: Check for leaks or damage to air hoses and connections.
  • Keep Clean: Wipe down the exterior of the compressor with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
