Air Pressure And Air Volume; Storing - Westfalia 40 32 20 Bedienungsanleitung


For operating pneumatic tools, clean air is required. Corrosion
residues, dust and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency
of the tool and will cause technical problems. An upstream
maintenance unit consisting of filter and pressure regulator valve
removes moisture and dirt from the air and controls the working
pressure. Do not use an oil-fog lubricator.

If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that
previously have not been used with other air tools which required an
oil-fog lubrication system.

Do not allow liquids to enter the air tool and never immerse them into
liquids. Water in the compressed air inlet can damage the machine.
Therefore it is recommended to drain the air lines and the compressor
in regular intervals! Also clean the air filters in regular intervals.

Oil or lubricate the moving parts of the air wash gun's trigger
mechanism in regular intervals.

Air Pressure and Air Volume

 Operate the air tool with a pressure of 4 – 7 bar. When using higher
pressure than the max. permitted pressure of 8 bar for operating the air
tool, its self life will be reduced drastically. Operate the air tool using a
compressor with an air suction capacity of at least 100 l/min. The ideal
capacity is provided by compressors with a suction capacity of 150 –
200 l/min.
 Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When
setting up the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will
decrease by approx. 0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner
diameter of 9 mm.

Storing

 Store the air wash gun and the accessory indoors in a dust and dirt-free
location.
