The new compressor has a simple but effective control panel incorporating a start switch, hours-run counter, pressure gauge and control light, and offers hassle-free starting.

Other key features include a spillage-free frame that ensures no oil, coolant or fuel can leak onto the ground and cause contamination; modular construction that allows easy customisation, if required; and a top cover with a large angle of opening to provide easy access to all major components for maintenance.

Stringent measures have also been taken to maximise the reliability of the fuel supply system. The translucent 28litre fuel tank, which is marked with five-litre gradations to allow easy checking of the fuel level, is removable for easy cleaning.
