4. Opsætning og installation
4.1 Udpakning
Carefully remove the compressor from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your dealer immediately.
4.2 Placering
- Place the compressor on a firm, level surface. The 1/4 inch mounting pads on the tank base are designed for stability.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the compressor to prevent overheating. Maintain at least 12 inches of clearance from walls or other obstructions.
- Locate the compressor in a clean, dry area, away from dust, moisture, and flammable materials.
4.3 Elektrisk tilslutning
This compressor requires a single-phase electrical supply. Consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper wiring and circuit protection for the 5 HP motor. The electrical connection must comply with all local and national electrical codes.
- Bekræft voltage og amperage requirements of the compressor match your power supply.
- Ensure the circuit is equipped with a dedicated breaker of appropriate rating.
- The compressor must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.
4.4 Indledende kontrol
- Olieniveau: Check the oil level in the pump crankcase. The pump is splash lubricated; ensure the oil level is within the recommended range on the dipstick or sight glass. Use only compressor-specific oil.
- Bæltespænding: Verify the tension of the dual drive belts. They should have slight give but not be excessively loose.
- Afløbsventil: Ensure the manual drain valve at the bottom of the tank is closed before starting.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Tjekliste før brug
- Confirm all safety precautions are understood and followed.
- Tjek oliestanden.
- Ensure drain valve is closed.
- Verify all connections (hoses, fittings) are secure.
5.2 Start af kompressoren
- Plug the compressor into the appropriate electrical outlet.
- Turn the pressure switch to the "ON" position. The motor will start, and the pump will begin to build air pressure in the tank.
- Allow the compressor to reach its maximum pressure (150 PSI) and shut off automatically. This confirms the pressure switch is functioning correctly.
5.3 Trykjustering
The compressor is equipped with a regulator to adjust the output air pressure for your tools. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor the output pressure gauge.
5.4 Nedlukning
- Turn the pressure switch to the "OFF" position.
- Unplug the compressor from the power source.
- Open the manual drain valve at the bottom of the tank to release any accumulated condensation. This is crucial for tank longevity.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance is vital for the longevity and optimal performance of your EMAX air compressor.
6.1 Daglig vedligeholdelse
- Dræntank: Open the manual drain valve daily after each use to remove condensation.
- Tjek oliestand: Verify the oil level in the pump crankcase. Add oil if necessary.
6.2 Ugentlig vedligeholdelse
- Inspect Air Filters: Check the four levels of air filtration within the Silent Air system. Clean or replace filters as needed.
- Efterse bælter: Check the dual drive belts for wear, cracks, or proper tension. Adjust or replace if necessary.
- Tjek for lækager: Listen for air leaks around fittings, hoses, and the tank. Tighten connections or replace faulty components.
6.3 Månedlig/kvartalsvis vedligeholdelse
