IMPORTANT NOTES
General safety instructions
The compressor must only be installed in dry rooms and protected against dampness and dust.
The spraying of combustible fluids constitutes a fire hazard and/
or a risk of explosion. Only use in well-aired rooms.
Install the compressor such that it can take in enough air at any
time. It may overheat otherwise.
Safety and protective devices on or in the compressor must not
be modified or disabled.
-d~ENGLISH
Immediately disconnect the device if you detect any unusual
sounds or smells during operation. Contact a specialised workshop if necessary. The compressor must only be restarted when
it has been put back into proper working order.
Repairs must only be made by qualified and trained persons.
Switch off and unpressurise the compressor prior to any mainte-
nance work.
The device has been designed for an operating voltage of
50Hz.
stalled and secured wall outlet.
The wall outlet to which the device is connected must be easily
accessible so that you can quickly disconnect the compressor
from the mains if and when required.
It is mandatory that power be supplied via a properly in-

Important Notes
Environmental protection
Disposal of compressor oil must comply with your local authorities’ regulations.
At the end of its serviceable life, the compressor too is to be disposed in compliance with legal regulations.
Transportation
Drain all the oil from the compressor if you wish to transport it
(forwarder, P.O., etc.) any time after initial installation and setup.
You otherwise run the risk of oil escaping or getting into the

There is no oil in the compressor during
trans-
portation. This avoids oil getting into the com-
pression chambers which would damage the de-
vice. You therefore have to fill up oil before you
put the compressor into operation for the first
time. The device might otherwise be damaged.

Check the oil level via the oil-level gauge.
Repeat the above steps if the oil level is not correct yet.
Make sure that the oil level does not exceed the
maximum reading. Drain any excessive oil if it
does; see ,,Drain oil“ on page 12.

The compressor is now ready to operate. Make sure that it stays
in its horizontal position because non-compliance may cause oil
to get into the compression chamber which might cause damage.
When filling up is complete, insert the air filter (part of
delivery package) into the intake fitting or the opening
in the lid of the motor (depending on the model you
use), see figure
,,Fill

Before You Begin
Drain oil
Drain oil every time you wish to transport the compressor or if
you filled up too much oil by mistake.
Caution:

3.
It is mandatory to drain off the oil prior to any
transportation or dispatch of the compressor
because non-compliance may cause oil to escape or to get into the compression chamber
which might damage the device.
Unscrew the oil-level gauge.
Let the oil run off into a suitable container.
Screw the oil-level gauge back in and check for safe
and proper seat.

These compressors are equipped with an automatic pressure
monitoring feature which will automatically switch off the motor
when it has built up the maximum pressure.
The motor restarts automatically when the pressure drops to
four (or six) bar after air bleeds from the pressure vessel.
HTC 20m
This model activates a safety valve when the pressure has built
up to its maximum of six bar. Any overpressure escapes through
this safety valve producing a soft hissing sound.
Initial Operation
Switch off compressors of this type to avoid
their overheating during no-operation intervals.
All compressors are equipped with a safety
valve which must neither be removed nor modified in any way. Have a qualified workshop repair or exchange the safety valve.

Caution:
Setting the operating pressure
Use the pressure controller to set the required operating pressure. Monitor the pressure reading via the pressure gauge.

2.
Pull up the rotary switch.
To increase the pressure
Turn the control button clockwise.
To reduce the pressure
Turn the control button anti-clockwise.
3.
Push the rotary switch back in (down) when you have
set the correct operating pressure.
Figure 3: Setting the operating pressure
Motor protection switch
All of the compressors are equipped with a motor protection
switch that avoids damage to the motor by automatically switching it off in instances of overload or overheating.
Proceed as follows if the motor shuts down during normal operation:
Operation Manual - ENGLISH
1.
2.
Set the ON/OFF switch to 0 (OFF) and allow the machine to cool off for about 30 minutes.
Restart the compressor after about 30 minutes.
Switching the compressor off
Switch off the compressor at longer idle periods.
Also switch off the machine when it seems to be
not operating, i.e. when the motor is not running. This situation occurs when the motor has
built-up maximum pressure thus activating the
automatic monitoring device. In this case, the
motor is in stand-by mode which means that it
will restart immediately when the pressure falls
below a specified value.
