• Interruptor de presión: The black box (Figure 3) automatically turns the compressor on and off to maintain tank pressure.
• Manómetro do tanque: Displays the current pressure inside the air tank (Figure 2).
• Working Pressure Gauge: Displays the pressure of the air being supplied to your tools, adjustable via the regulator (Figure 2).
• Regulador de presión: The red knob (Figure 3) allows you to adjust the working pressure. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Quick-Connect Air Outlet: For attaching air hoses and tools (Figure 3).

Connecting and Using Air Tools

1. Connect your air hose to the quick-connect air outlet.
2. Attach your air tool to the other end of the hose.
3. Adjust the working pressure using the red regulator knob to suit the requirements of your air tool. Monitor the working pressure gauge.
4. Begin using your air tool. The compressor will cycle on and off automatically to maintain pressure as needed.

Apagando

1. Xire o interruptor principal á posición "OFF".
2. Desconecte a mangueira de aire e as ferramentas.

Mantemento

Un mantemento regular garante a lonxevidade e o funcionamento seguro do seu compresor de aire.

Diario / Despois de cada uso

• Drenaxe de condensados: After each use, or daily if used frequently, open the drain valve at the bottom of the air tank to release accumulated moisture. This prevents rust and corrosion inside the tank.

Weekly/Monthly

• Inspeccionar o filtro de aire: Check the air filter for dirt and debris. Clean or replace if necessary to ensure proper airflow to the pump.
• Comprobar fugas: Listen for any air leaks around fittings, hoses, and valves. Tighten connections as needed. A soapy water solution can help identify small leaks.
• Inspeccionar mangueiras e conexións: Examine air hoses for cracks, cuts, or wear. Replace damaged hoses immediately. Ensure all quick-connect fittings are functioning correctly.
• Inspeccionar o cable de alimentación: Check the power cord for any damage, fraying, or exposed wires.
