Product Information
Full details
The Pollor 24L Oil-Filled Air Compressor is designed for home workshops and garages, offering a powerful 2.5 HP motor and a 24-litre tank for sustained tool operation. Its oil-lubricated pump ensures durability and longevity. A potential caveat is the requirement for a 230V power supply. Key features include high air displacement, twin quick-release couplers, and integrated pressure control for reliable performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of oil should I use for the pump?
The compressor is supplied with the initial oil fill. For subsequent oil changes, consult your product manual for the specific type and viscosity recommended by Pollor, typically a good quality compressor oil.
How often should I drain the tank?
It is recommended to drain the tank after each use to remove moisture and prevent rust. This is crucial for maintaining the tank's integrity.
Can I use this compressor with a standard 120V outlet?
No, this compressor requires a 230V, single-phase power supply and will not operate correctly or safely on a 120V circuit.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The compressor delivers a maximum discharge pressure of 115 PSI (8 bar), controlled by the integrated regulator.
How do I connect air tools?
Air tools connect via standard 1/4″ BSP Euro-style quick-release couplers. Ensure your air hose fittings are compatible.
Is this compressor suitable for continuous industrial use?
While built for durability, the 2.5 HP motor and 24L tank are best suited for workshop and garage tasks rather than continuous, heavy-duty industrial applications.
Troubleshooting
Compressor not starting
Verify the power cord is securely plugged into a working 230V outlet. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped. Ensure the on/off switch is in the 'on' position.
Low air pressure or output
Check that the pressure regulator is set correctly. Inspect air hoses and connections for leaks. Ensure the air filter is clean and not clogged. Verify the oil level in the pump.
Compressor cycles on and off too frequently
Ensure there are no air leaks in the hose connections or tools. The 24L tank size is designed for moderate use; very high-demand tools might cause more frequent cycling.
Excessive noise
Ensure the compressor is on a stable, vibration-dampening surface. Check that all fittings are secure. Some operating noise is normal for air compressors.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High air displacement for efficient tool operation.
- Durable oil-lubricated pump for longevity.
- Dual quick-release couplers for convenience.
- Consistent and controllable pressure output.
- Compact size for easier storage and portability.
Cons
- Requires a 230V power supply, limiting use in some locations.
- Oil-lubricated design requires periodic oil checks and changes.
- Noise levels may be a consideration in shared or residential spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, level surface.
- Check the oil level in the pump sight glass; if low, add the recommended oil (supplied with the unit).
- Connect the compressor to a suitable 230V power outlet.
- Attach your air tools to the 1/4″ BSP Euro coupler outlets using appropriate hoses.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard 1/4″ BSP Euro-style air fittings.
- Requires a 230V, single-phase power supply.
Care:
- Oil Level: Regularly check the oil level and top up as needed. Perform oil changes as per the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 100-200 hours of use or annually).
- Drain Valve: After each use, open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank to release condensed water. This prevents tank corrosion.
- Air Filter: Inspect and clean the air filter periodically to ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
