3. Gwida ta' Setup
3.1 Spakkjar u Spezzjoni
- Neħħi bir-reqqa l-komponenti kollha mill-imballaġġ.
- Inspect the compressor and accessories for any signs of damage during shipping. Contact customer support if any damage is found.
- Ensure all listed accessories are present.
3.2 Konnessjonijiet Inizjali
Before operating, ensure proper connections for power and inflation.

- Connect the Inflation Hose: Securely attach the inflation hose to the compressor's output port and to the tank you intend to fill. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
- Agħżel Sors tal-Enerġija:
- For AC Power (110V-220V): Plug the AC power cord into the compressor's AC input and then into a grounded wall outlet. The initial setting is typically for 110V AC.
- For DC Power (12V Car Battery): Qabbad il-cl aħmaramp mat-terminal pożittiv (+) tal-batterija tal-karozza tiegħek u l-iswed clamp to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure your car engine is running to provide stable power and prevent battery drain.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
4.1 Lista ta' Kontroll ta' Qabel l-Operazzjoni
- Kun żgur li l-konnessjonijiet kollha huma siguri.
- Verify the tank's maximum pressure rating.
- Confirm the compressor is in a well-ventilated area.
- Close the bleed valve before starting inflation.
4.2 Proċess ta' Inflazzjoni
- Agħżel il-Modalità tal-Enerġija: Set the power switch to 'I' for DC (12V) or 'II' for AC (110V-220V).
- Issettja l-Pressjoni Mira: Rotate the pressure setting knob on the gauge to your desired inflation pressure. The machine will automatically stop when this pressure is reached.
- Start Compressor: Press the 'START' button. The compressor will begin to operate, and the cooling fans will activate.
- Immonitorja l-Progress: Observe the real-time pressure on the gauge. Although auto-shutoff is present, it is good practice to monitor the process.
- Tifi awtomatiku: The compressor will automatically stop filling when the preset pressure is achieved. The cooling fan will continue to run to dissipate heat.
- Waqfien manwali: To stop the compressor manually at any time, press the 'OFF' button.
- Pressjoni tar-Rilaxx: After inflation is complete and the compressor has stopped, slowly open the bleed valve to release any residual pressure in the hose before disconnecting.
- Skonnettja: Once pressure is fully released, disconnect the inflation hose from the tank and the compressor. Then, disconnect the power source.
4.3 Cooling Cycle
The compressor is designed with a duty cycle to prevent overheating. For optimal performance and longevity:
- Do not run the compressor for more than 25 minuta kontinwament.
- Allow the compressor to cool down for 10-15 minuta after each 25-minute operation cycle. The cooling fan will continue to run during this period.

| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Il-kompressur ma jibdax. | No power, incorrect power mode selected, power switch off. | Check power connections, ensure power source is active (e.g., car engine running for DC), select correct power mode (I for DC, II for AC), press 'START'. |
| Compressor runs but does not inflate or inflates slowly. | Bleed valve open, loose hose connections, clogged filter, tank already full. | Close bleed valve, tighten all hose connections, check and replace filter elements, verify tank pressure. |
| Compressor overheats and shuts down prematurely. | Iċ-ċiklu tad-dazju nqabeż, ventilazzjoni fqira. | Allow compressor to cool down for 10-15 minutes. Ensure operation in a well-ventilated area. Do not exceed 25 minutes of continuous operation. |
| Air leaks from connections. | Loose connections, worn O-rings. | Tighten connections. Replace O-rings if they appear worn or damaged. |
| Safety valve activates. | Pressure exceeded maximum limit. | Immediately stop the compressor. Check the pressure gauge and ensure the target pressure is set correctly and does not exceed 4500 PSI. If the safety disc is blown, it must be replaced. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact SMACO customer support.
