1x Hill A73 Crank Oil
1x Hill A72 Silicone Oil

Parts Included
With the compressor positioned on a level surface,
check that the oil level meets the
red dot on the sight glass.
Top up as necessary using the following:
Remove redcap - screw anti-clockwise
4
CAUTION - please read and understand the following instructions before use.
CAUTION - ONCE YOU HAVE CORRECTLY FILLED THE COMPRESSOR
WITH LUBRICANTS, THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE KEPT UPRIGHT AND
LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. ENSURE THE COMPRESSOR IS USED ON A NON-SLIP
FLOOR, PREFERABLE SAT ON ANTI-SLIP MATTING. IF THE COMPRESSOR
IS TO BE MOVED OR TRANSPORTED FOR STORAGE OR MAINTENANCE,
ENSURE ALL LUBRICANTS ARE DRAINED FIRST.
1. Oil Level
Slowly squeeze the A73 crank oil into the
exposed hole until the lubricant level meets the
red dot in the sight glass this should use more or less
the complete bottle
DO NOT MIX CRANK OIL AND SILICONE OIL AND DO NOT OVERFILL
After an oil change or fill...
Leave the oil to settle for 5 mins, if the oil level drops
below the red dot apply more oil until the oil level
is maintained
Replace the red cap until finger tight
Set Up
Remove blue cap - screw anticlockwise
Slowly squeeze the Hill A72 Silicone Oil through the exposed hole until the oil reaches the
limit indicated on the reservoir by the blue line
DO NOT MIX CRANK OIL AND SILICONE OIL
Replace blue cap until finger tight
3. Power connection and Operating Instructions
Connect filling probe to hose, ensure spanner tight or use Quick Release Coupling fitted
2. Silicone Lubricant Level
Fill the lubricant reservoir using the following:
5
Connect filling probe to bottle or gun and ensure spanner tight
Ensure bleed screw is closed (finger tight)
CAUTION: If using a quick release release coupling,
always check and make sure the collar on the female
quick disconnect is in the forward position and secure
on the male fitting you are connecting it to. It is
recommended that you check the connection by attempting
to pull the female and male ends apart while the collar
on the fitting is in the forward position before pressurising.
Insert power cable into pump
Please avoid using any electrical extension leads if possible. However, if you must use a 3rd
party extension lead, this must be as short as possible and must be rated to a minimum of
110v/16A or 230v/13A depending on your local power supply. If unsure, please determine
what your local power supply is before operating the compressor.
...before requesting confirmation that the lubricant levels have been checked and are
correct.
Press the rotary control knob
to confirm the lube check.
The screen will briefly show the Hill logo, the software version and the accumulated running
hours...
6
Switch compressor on
Rotate the knob again to alternate between BAR,PSI and MPa. When you have chosen the
unit of measure, press the control knob to confirm. The chosen unit of measure will be retaine
d for future use even when the compressor is switched off. This can be changed at any time.
To return to the “set pressure” screen, rotate the knob anticlockwise and press to confirm.
The display will then change to “set pressure”. A default pressure of 100BAR (1450PSI/10MPa)
is displayed.
If you are using the compressor for the first time, the unit of measure will display in BAR.
To change the unit of measure to PSI or MPa, rotate the control knob clockwise and press
to confirm
To set the pressure, rotate the control knob clockwise to
increase the fill pressure required. When you reach the
desired pressure, press the control knob to confirm.
The maximum pressure that can be set is 300BAR
(4350PSI/30MPa). DO NOT SET THE COMPRESSOR ABOVE THE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDED PRESSURE FOR THE BOTTLE YOU ARE FILLING. As a safety feature the
target pressure is not retained and will require resetting each time.
Rotate the control knob to reach the start display
Press the control knob and the compressor will commence filling.
The display will show the operating temperature, the current
working pressure and the target set pressure.
You can manually pause the filling at any time by pressing the
rotary control knob once, the display will show “Fill Abort?”
You can either confirm the fill abort by depressing the control
knob once more or to resume the fill,
rotate the control knob once more to show “Fill Resume”
and then press the knob to confirm.
The compressor is programmed to only operate within a pre-set
temperature range. The compressor will automatically pause if
the working temperature exceeds this pre-set. This is normal
and no operator intervention is required. The display will show
the progress of the cooling cycle and when the working
temperature falls below the pre-set the compressor will restart. If you are filling a larger b
ottle, this could happen multiple times. You can abort the fill at any time within the cooling
cycle if required.
DO NOT disconnect the bottle until the compressor has been depressurised.
Depressurise by unscrewing the bleed screw. Whilst
depressurising, the compressor may expel some moisture and
silicone from the moisture trap. Suitable precautions should be
taken to protect any floor coverings under the compressor.
When the target pressure is reached the display will show
“Fill complete” along with confirmation of the achieved pressure
and the target pressure.
7
The display will show the progress of the depressurisation
until it confirms depressurised. You can then disconnect
the bottle.
8
The display will revert to the “set required pressure screen”.
The compressor will occasionally automatically stop and request that you check the lubricant
levels. The compressor will not restart until you press the control knob. At this time you must
bleed the moisture trap. If connected to a bottle without a nonreturn valve, close the valve
on the bottle and bleed the EC3000 using the bleed screw at the bottom of the silver moisture
trap. If your rifle or bottle has a non return valve you can just bleed the EC3000 as above.
If in a very humid part of the world, you will need to bleed the moisture trap more often.
DO NOT LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR UNATTENDED WHEN IN USE!
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT YOUR COMPRESSOR MALFUNCTIONS, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOURSELF. PLEASE CALL THE DISTRIBUTOR
YOU PURCHASED IT FROM.
PLEASE RETAIN THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT OF PURCHASE

DANGER
WARNING
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPERATE OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN
DO NOT OPERATE WITH WET HANDS OR WET CLOTHES
DANGER
This compressor features 5000psi burst disks for backup over-pressure protection. These burst disks can be
replaced with equal or lower pressure burst disks if required but NOT with higher pressure ones. Always
ensure appropriate measures are in place to prevent over-pressurisation of vessles.
Make sure that the power cable is inserted correctly and that the
compressor is switched on, check that the fuse in the switch has
not blown.
- Pressure does not exceed 50BAR and air escapes from the Pressure
Relief Valve
- Pressure achieved in the bottle is lower than the target pressure
With the bleed screw open, run the compressor for 5 mins and then
attempt another fill. If the problem persists contact your retailer..
Bottle valve may cause small pressure loss, adjust pressure on
compressor to compensate.
Shutting the compressor down
Make sure that the cylinder is removed and bleed screw is opened to release
pressure.
Maintenance
Change crank oil every 50 running hours or once yearly (whichever comes
first)
Unscrew sight glass to change Crank Oil (make sure you have a
suitable container underneath) and drain.
Regularly check that the Silicone lubrication is free from dirt and
debris
