Dipstick insertion and oil level check
Use a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the plastic cap
on the lower part of the cylinder (Fig.4).
Plastic cap

Insert the accessory dipstick all the way to the bottom.
Remove the dipstick and make sure the oil level is within
the range of the dipstick notches (Fig.5).
Air vent

WARNING
: Drain tank to release air pressure
before removing the dipstick.
WARNING
: Make sure air vent in dipstick is free
from debris. If air vent is blocked
pressure can build in crankcase
causing damage to compressor and
possible personal injury.
When the oil volume is insuffi cient, refer to the section "Oil
change-oil topping off " on page 13 for a description of how
to supply the oil.
CAUTION: Do not operate compressor without oil or
with inadequate oil.
The compressor is shipped without oil in the crankcase.
Risk of property damage. metabo HPT is not responsible
for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
Make sure to close the initial set-up prior to operation.
CAUTION: Do not operate without the dipstick.
7.
Right running position
Position the compressor on a fl at surface or one with
an inclination of 10° at the most, in a well ventilated area
away from atmospheric agents and not in explosive areas
(Fig.6).

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the compressor,
do not allow the unit to be tilted more than
10° when operating.
NOTE: When operating or storing the copmressor, set 4 rubber
bumpers downward on the fl oor (Refer to Fig.1)

Temperature
Operating temperatures are between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C).
CAUTION: Never operate in temperatures below 32°F
(0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
TRANSPORT
Push the knob of the pressure switch to "OFF" and disconnect
it from the power source before transport the compressor.
Transport the compressor in the correct manner.
When transporting the compressor, grasp the handle and carry
the compressor as close to the body as possible.
WARNING
: Risk of unsafe operation. Ensure
proper footing and use caution when
carrying compressor to avoid a loss
of balance.
OPERATION
1.
Start-up Insert the plug into the receptacle and start the
compressor by pulling the knob of the pressure switch to
"ON" (Referto Fig. 2).
WARNING
: Do not stop or start the compressor
by use of the plug. Always use "ON/
OFF"knob located on the pressure
switch.
The operation of the compressor is automatic and is
controlled by the pressure switch which stops it when
the pressure in the air-tank reaches the maximum level
and restart it when the air pressure drops during use to
therestart level.
The motor has a thermal protector. The thermal protector
will stop the motor when the temperature is too high for any
reason.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting.
CAUTION: Wear ear protectors during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
