Cleaning, Maintenance And Storage - Parkside PKO 270 A1 Betriebsanleitung

• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
AC motor
• The mains voltage must be 230 V~
• Extension cables up to 25 m long must have a
cross-section of 1.5 mm .

10. Cleaning, maintenance, and storage
n
Important!
Pull out the power plug before doing any cleaning
and maintenance work on the equipment. Risk of
injury from electric shock!
n
Important!
Wait until the equipment has cooled down complete-
ly! Risk of burns!
n
Important!
Always depressurize the equipment before carrying out
any cleaning and maintenance work! Risk of injury!
10.1 Cleaning
• Keep the equipment free of dirt and dust as far as pos-
sible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
down with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the equipment imme-
diately after you use it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaningagents or sol-
vents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in
the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the
interior of the equipment.
• You must disconnect the hose and any spraying tools
from the compressor before cleaning. Do not clean the
compressor with water, solvents or the like.

10.2 Maintenance work on the pressure vessel (Fig. 1)
n
Important! To ensure a long service life of the
pressure vessel (7), drain off the condensed water
by opening the drain valve (9) each time after using.
Release the vessel pressure fi rst (see 10.7.1). Open
the drain screw by turning counter-clockwise (looking at
the screw from the bottom of the compressor) so that all
the condensed water can run out of the pressure vessel.
Then close the drain screw again (turn it clockwise).
Check the pressure vessel for signs of rust and damage
each time before using. Do not use the compressor with
a damaged or rusty pressure vessel. If you discover
any damage, then please contact the customer service
workshop.
n
Important!
The condensed water from the pressure vessel will
contain residual oil. Dispose of the condensed water
in an environmentally compatible manner at a suita-
ble collection point.
10.3 Safety valve (Figure 3)
The safety valve (19) has been set for the highest per-
mitted pressure of the pressure vessel. It is prohibited
to adjust the safety valve or remove its seal. Actuate
the safety valve from time to time to ensure that it works
when required. Pull the ring with suffi cient force until
you can hear the compressed air being released. Then
release the ring again.
10.4 Checking the oil level at regular intervals (Fi-
gure 11)
Place the compressor on a level and straight surface.
The oil level must be between the MAX and MIN marks
on the oil level window (Fig. 18).
Oil change: we recommend SAE 15W 40 or equivalent.
The original oil fi lling must be changed after 100 hours
in operation; thereafter the oil must be drained and
replaced with new oil after every 500 hours in operation.
10.5 Changing the oil (Figure 1,10, 11)
Switch off the engine and pull the mains plug out of
the socket. After releasing any air pressure you can
unscrew the oil drain plug (12) from the compressor
pump (13).
To prevent the oil from running out in an uncontrolled
manner, hold a small metal chute under the opening
and collect the oil in a vessel. If the oil does not drain
out completely, we recommend tilting the compressor
slightly. When the oil has drained out, refi t the oil drain
plug (12).
Dispose of the old oil at a drop-off point for old oil.
To fi ll in the correct quantity of oil, make sure that the
compressor stands on an even surface. Fill new oil
through the oil fi ller opening (21) until it comes up to
the maximum level. This is marked with a red dot on
the oil level window (18) (Figure 11). Do not exceed the
