ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE
To adjust the outlet air pressure, use the orange coloured regulator
knob and check the pressure on the outlet pressure gauge, Pic. 11.
If the pressure needs to be lower, turn anti clockwise.
If the pressure needs to be higher, turn clockwise.
Use the gauge to ensure you set the correct working pressure.
Note: This compressor has a maximum pressure of 10 bar. Always
regulate the air pressure to match your air tool. Different air tools
require different operating pressures. Always check with the tool
manufacturer if unsure.
SAFETY VALVE
Pic. 12
NOTE: When checking the safety valve ALWAYS wear safety glasses.
To check the operation of the safety valve the air tank will need to
be full. Gently pull the ring outwards. This should release air under
pressure. Release the ring and this should stop the air out flow
immediately.
If the safety valve does NOT work in this manner, STOP the air
compressor immediately and have the air compressor
checked / serviced by an authorised service centre.
