Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum air pressure this compressor can deliver?

The maximum air pressure this compressor can deliver is 115 PSI (8 BAR).

How often should I drain the air tank?

It is recommended to drain the tank daily after use to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion within the tank.

Can I use this compressor for heavy-duty industrial applications?

This compressor is designed for smaller spaces, mobile technicians, and home users. It is not intended for continuous heavy-duty industrial applications that require very high pressure or prolonged usage.

What is the flow rate of this air compressor?

The flow rate is 135 litres per minute (LPM).

Does this compressor come with an air hose?

The product description does not specify if an air hose is included. Typically, air hoses and tools are sold separately.

What type of power supply does it require?

It is powered by a standard 230V, 50Hz, single-phase power supply.

How portable is it?

It weighs 19kg and features a built-in carry handle, making it portable for most users. However, its weight might be a consideration for some individuals.

Troubleshooting

Compressor does not turn on.

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working 230V outlet. Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the thermal overload protection has not tripped (allow it to cool down before resetting if applicable).

Compressor runs continuously and does not shut off.

Check the pressure switch settings. Ensure the pressure gauge is reading correctly and that the tank is reaching its maximum cut-off pressure. If the issue persists, there may be a fault with the pressure switch itself.

Low air output or pressure.

Check for air leaks at hose connections or tool fittings. Clean or replace the air intake filter. Ensure the tank has reached its maximum pressure. Verify that the adjustable pressure regulator is not set too low.

Compressor is unusually loud.

Inspect the air intake filter for blockages. Check for any loose components or vibrations. Ensure the compressor is on a stable, level surface.

Water leaking from the tank drain valve.

This is normal if moisture has condensed inside the tank. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed after draining. If excessive water is present, drain the tank thoroughly after each use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compact and portable for easy storage and transport.
  • High airflow rate (135 LPM) for efficient tool operation.
  • Versatile for various applications like tire inflation and air tool use.
  • Easy-to-use controls and clear pressure gauge.
  • Durable construction suitable for workshop environments.

Cons

  • At 19kg, it may be heavy for some users to carry long distances.
  • Requires a mains power source (230V), limiting use in remote locations without power.
  • Not designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring very high pressure or continuous industrial use.
  • Air hose and tools are typically sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, level surface.
  2. Connect the power cord to a suitable 230V mains outlet or compatible generator.
  3. Attach your desired air tool or tire inflator to the quick-release airline connector.
  4. Adjust the pressure regulator to the desired output pressure for your task.
  5. Turn on the compressor. The unit will automatically build pressure to its cut-off point and maintain it.

Compatibility:

This compressor is compatible with most standard air tools that operate within its pressure and flow rate specifications. It uses a standard quick-release coupling for air hoses. Ensure your air tools are rated for a maximum of 115 PSI (8 BAR).

Care:

  • Regular Drainage: Drain the tank daily after use to prevent moisture buildup and corrosion. Locate the drain valve at the bottom of the tank and carefully open it.
  • Filter Maintenance: Check and clean the air intake filter periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically monthly with regular use). A clogged filter reduces performance.
  • Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the compressor with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use.
