Standard Components 1. MOTOR/PUMP UNIT: Provides the power and compresses air to the desired pressure. 2.* RECEIVER: Air storage providing pulsation free air on demand. 3.* PRESSURE SWITCH: Monitors the air pressure in the receiver and starts and stops the compressor automatically according to pressure level. Also acts as the compressor on/off switch.
Setting Up Your compressor arrives assembled and works tested, ready for installation and connection to your mains supply.

AUTOMATIC RUNNING: Once started your compressor stops and starts automatically. This is controlled by the pressure switch which is preset at the factory to stop the motor when the pressure in the tank reaches it's maximum working pressure and to automatically restart the motor when the pressure in the tank decreases to a predetermined pressure (about 35psi below maximum working pressure).
Poor suction would suggest a block air filter or damaged valves. Also causing excessive load onto the motor. Spare part lists and exploded drawings are available from your local distributors or by calling the SIP technical support desk. All warranty claims must be accompanied by proof of purchase.

Apply compressed air directly onto the skin Use compressed air for breathing apparatus or charging breathing air cylinders, unless the air has been filtered using filters designed specifically for this purpose. Use an open-air line, this will cause ‘whip’...
Oil Level too high. Oil level too low. 10. Incorrect oil being used. Try SIP Compressor oil. 11. Extremely light duty use, or located in damp environment. 12. Check for good connections and voltages at motor terminals and starter box.
