Sealey AK3843 Instruction Manual

To set up the Sealey AK3843 Compressor, first ensure it's on a level surface. Connect the air hose and check all fittings for tightness. Fill the oil reservoir to the correct level, and plug it into a suitable power supply. Finally, test the unit by running it briefly without load.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil level weekly, draining the tank after each use to prevent moisture buildup, cleaning the air filter monthly, and inspecting the hoses for wear and tear every three months.
If the compressor does not start, check that it is plugged in and the power supply is working. Ensure the pressure switch is in the 'on' position. Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker for issues. If the problem persists, consult the manual or contact customer support.
The compressor may shut off due to overheating or electrical overload. Ensure that the unit is not running in a confined space and that the ventilation is adequate. Check the air filters and clean if necessary. Allow the unit to cool before restarting.
Use a high-quality compressor oil as specified in the user manual. It is important to avoid using automotive engine oil, as it may not provide the necessary lubrication properties for the compressor.
To replace the air filter, first ensure the compressor is off and unplugged. Remove the filter cover, take out the old filter, and insert a new one of the same type. Reattach the filter cover securely before using the compressor.
Some noise during operation is normal. However, excessive noise may indicate a problem. Check for loose parts or fittings, and ensure the compressor is on a stable surface. Regular maintenance can also help reduce noise levels.
If the compressor builds pressure slowly, check for air leaks in the hoses or fittings. Ensure the intake filter is clean, and inspect the valves for damage. If issues persist, the motor or pump may need servicing.
To transport the compressor safely, ensure it is turned off and unplugged. Drain any air from the tank and secure the unit to prevent movement. Use handles or wheels if equipped, and avoid tilting to prevent oil spillage.
Store the compressor in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Drain the tank to prevent rust, and cover the unit to protect it from dust and debris. Periodically check the condition of the unit if stored for extended periods.
