8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important! Pull the power plug before doing any cleaning and maintenance
work on the appliance.
Important! Wait until the compressor has completely cooled down. Risk of
burns!
Important! Always depressurize the tank before carrying out any cleaning
and maintenance work.
8.1 Cleaning
▪ Keep the safety devices free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a
clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
▪ We recommend that you clean the appliance immediately after you use it.
▪ Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning
agents or solvents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in the appliance. Ensure
that no water can get into the interior of the appliance.
▪ You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools from the compressor before
cleaning. Do not clean the compressor with water, solvents or the like.
8.2 Condensation water
The condensation water must be drained off each day by opening the drain valve (10) (on the
floor of the pressure vessel).
Important! The condensation water from the pressure vessel will contain
residual oil. Dispose of the condensation water in an environmentally
compatible manner at the appropriate collection point.
8.3 Safety valve (9)
The safety valve has been set for the highest permitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is
prohibited to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate the safety valve from time to
time to ensure that it works when required. Pull the ring with sufficient force until you can hear
the compressed air being released. Then release the ring again.
8.4 Storage
I mportant! Pull the mains plug out of the socket and ventilate the appliance
and all connected pneumatic tools. Switch off the compressor and make
sure that it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by
any unauthorized person.
Important! Store the compressor only in a dry location which is not
accessible to unauthorized persons. Always store upright, never tilted!
