Manual

OPERATION (Numbers in brackets refer to fig. 1 below)

Before connecting your Spyder to the mains supply, check the following:-

• The mains voltage is 230V.

• The ON/OFF control knob (B) is in the OFF (inner) position.

• The pressure regulator (E) should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully

anticlockwise, and the tap (F) screwed IN to its closed position.

• If the machine has not been used for 24 hours or so, open the air receiver

drain valve (A) and turn it on its end in order to drain any condensate which

may have accumulated. When clear, close the valve, finger tight.

IMPORTANT: If the receiver is under pressure, keep your hands well away from the

air being expelled.... remember, compressed air is DANGEROUS!

Now connect a suitable air hose, fitted with quick-fit adaptors, between the air

outlet (G) and the spray gun or air tool being used.

Ensure that the rubber washers are in place to form the necessary air tight seals.

These fittings should be screwed by hand but take care not to over tighten. If a

rubber seal is damaged then it should be replaced.

If you do not wish to use the Quick Fit method of hose connection, simply remove

the Quick Fit nut and use an air hose fitted with conventional 1/4 BSP connectors.

Once the hose connections are complete, CHECK AGAIN to ensure the pressure

regulator (E) is turned fully anticlockwise so that compressed air cannot reach the

air tool, then plug the machine into the mains and switch ON, by pulling the ON/

OFF knob (B) out, until it clicks into position.

The air compressor will now start, and pressure will build up in the receiver to a

regulated max. pressure of 8 Bar (116 psi).

Should the motor fail to start immediately, it is probable that the air receiver is already

full of air. Check the pressure gauge (D). If you release air, by opening the drain

valve (A), the motor will start automatically once the cut-in pressure is reached.
