Is there anybody in this forum that has manuals for the Werther III Compressor[?]
I bought mine today, but the store only had one left and it came without box or documentation. This is my first Compressor and airbrush so i know nothing on the “mechanical” side on compressors at all, so if anybody has the manual and are willing to share it, or has any other pointers or tips , please let me know.
A speedy reply would be really nice, as i don’t want to start painting without knowing what I’m doing[:I]
All I can offer is their web address so that you could call them or contact them somehow. http://www.werther.com/panther.htm
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help as Werther makes good compressors.

Thanks alot, but i’ve already been on that site and they have nothing on the small “hobby” compressors, just the more industrial stuff, but thanks anyway.

Thank you, that would be really nice. It’s a good thing to hear from other people who has the same stuff and are happy with it [:D]
By the way, is that a Polikarpov I-16 in your signature??
That would be really nice of you if you would do that [angel]
I would owe you big time …
I’m really looking forward to spend some time with my new toy, just hopes the missus doesn’t mind to much [;)]
This shows how good the internet can be sometimes…
NOOOOOOOOOooooooooo…

Disaster has struck, after running for about a minute or so, at preassure about 3 bar/ 45 Psi, there was a loud “pop” in the compressor, and i lost all the preassure. The motor is still running, but it wount build up any preassure, and there is a leaking sound coming from inside…
Seems like ill have to go back to the store, and they are all closed now.
Gonna have to wait until tomorrow, damn bad luck [|(]
I’m wondering if your comp has the same behaviour as mine, i set the regulator to release the preassure if it comes up to about 3 bar, and when i spray it droppes down to a continuos flow at a little over 2 bar. And i think it is a very noisy compressor. Do you have the same behaviour?
Meesly is your regulator internal to the compressor, or an external bolt on?
Or do you mean the small brass relief valve under the pressure dial?
Pressure will fall away as the air flows, as the gauge on the front of the unit is only showing the pressure coming out of the internal resevoir, as I understand matters. Mine always settles down to around 15-20PSI, but can be taken lower by unscrewing the relief valve slightly.
I don’t use a regulator, just an adapter to take the 1/4 inch thread down to a standard Badger airline size. The adapter has a small pressure release hole, only really required for diaphragm compressors, whish this is not, so the pressure never gets too great.
Hi there Karl.
I’ve got a new compressor from the store, they where really nice, no problem at all, it seems like they had more in stock after all…
We opened it up in the store and the hose that went from the compressor to the little airtank had completly exploded. This time i talked to a older man who seemed to know a little, and ten minutes later i walked out of the store with a brand new compressor. With documentation [:)] So there’s no need for you to scan them anymore.
And you are right, i mean the relief valve.
I use the valve so that the engine doesn’t have to work more than neccesary. Not after my disaster yesterday anyway…
I would like to thank you for your help and moral support, it really means alot when someone take the time to help a noob out.

So, thanks alot ,and i hope you’ll have a nice summer
