Start Up; Switch On And Off - PRETUL COMP-20LP Instructivo

Switch ON and OFF

• Before operating the compressor set it onto a flat,
leveled and solid surface, well ventilated and away from
flammable objects like curtains, etc. Leave 12" free space
at least around the compressor to allow air circulation.
• Connect the plug into the power outlet. Double check
the cable is not an obstacle and a tripping hazard or get
damaged.
• Lift the switch (E) to turn ON the compressor. The motor
will start and fill the tank up to the maximum pressure.
Then, it will shut OFF automatically. While the compressor
is in use and in order to keep, the constant pressure
indicated in the right gauge (F) will start again when the
pressurestat detects diminished pressure.
• To turn OFF the compressor press the switch. Then,
release the air remaining in the tank pulling the pressure
release valve ring (G).
CAUTION • Never disconnect the compressor from
the power supply to turn it OFF. If the power supply is
accidentally cut do not forget pressing the switch to
correctly turn OFF the compressor.
Thermal Switch
• The compressor is built with a thermal switch (K) that
prevents the motor from excessively overheating. The
motor turns OFF when the switch is activated. To restore
the motor, follow these steps:
1.- Press the switch to make sure the compressor is off.
2.- Let the compressor cool for at least 5 minutes
3.- Press the thermal switch located on the side of the
crankcase.
4. Lift the switch to turn on the compressor.
Note: If the unit shuts down again, please contact an
Authorized Service Center.
