SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result.
It is in your own interest to read and pay attention to the following rules:
1. COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS, NEVER direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin.
2. DO NOT operate your compressor with any guards removed.
3. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
4. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the pressure is expelled from the air receiver, and the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.
5. DO NOT leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
6. DO NOT adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.
7. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times.
Similarly, a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
8. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.
9. Always adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the particular spray gun or tool being used.
10. When spraying inflammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
11. Protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be created by using the air compressor and use the appropriate protection. e.g.
Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and/or fumes.
12. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage.
13. Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not tangled or wrapped around machinery etc.
14. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and expel all pressurised air from within the machine and other equipment attached to it.
15. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any equipment attached to it.
16. Always ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully understand the Operating Instructions supplied.
17. Ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.

PREPARATION FOR USE
NOTE: All numbered items throughout this manual refer to the parts list item number on Page 14.
Fig.1
1. Remove the plastic travel plug from the oil filler hole, on the top of the crank case, and insert the dipstick (see Fig. 6 - p.8).
2. Check the oil level is at the correct level on the dipstick, as shown in Fig.1. Where necessary, top up with Clarke SAE40
Compressor Oil available from your Clarke dealer.
OPERATION
(Ref. Figs. 2 and 2A)
NOTE: if you intend using your compressor for spraying, read also the Helpful
Hints on Spraying booklet - supplied with the machine.
1. Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that shown on the data sticker on the crankcase cover of the machine.
2. Ensure that the ON/OFF knob is in the OFF (0) position, i.e. pushed DOWN, then plug in and switch on at the mains supply.
3. To start the compressor pull UP the ON/OFF knob to the ON (I) position
- the motor should start immediately.
Note: Should the motor fail to start immediately, it is probable that the air receiver is already full of air. Check the tank pressure gauge (see fig. 2). If you release air, by opening air outlet tap, the motor will start automatically once the cut-in pressure is reached.
4. Before connecting your airline to the compressor, allow it to run for 10 - 15 seconds, with the air outlet tap completely open to permit a good distribution of the lubricating oil.
5. Close the outlet tap then connect one end of suitable air hose to the compressor air outlet, and the other end to the equipment to be used.

FAULT FINDING
PROBLEM
The compressor stops and will not start again.
The compressor does not reach the set pressure and overheats easily.
Compressor does not start.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Bad connections.
Blown fuse
Overload cutout switch has tripped.
Compressor head gasket blown or valve broken.
Air receiver charged
(see also item 1)
Air leaking from the pressure switch valvewhen the compressor is not running.
Air pressure from the regulator will not adjust.
Faulty non-return valve.
The diaphragm within the regulator body is broken.
The compressor is very noisy and makes a metallic knocking sound.
Compressor damaged and needs overhaul.
REMEDY
Check the electrical connections.
Clean and tighten as necessary.
Renew/Replace fuse
Switch off and wait 5 minutes before pressing the reset button.
Wait for compressor to cool down, disassemble the head and replace any broken components.
Carefully clean all sealing surfaces before reassembling.
If in doubt contact your nearest dealer.
NOTE: It is also possible that you are using more air than the compressor is capable of delivering.
Open drain cock to expel air.
Compressor should start again when pressure reduces to approx 95 psi.
First drain the receiver completely of air. Remove the valve end plug, carefully clean the valve seat and the gasket and reassemble. See Fig 8.
Replace Regulator
Return the machine to your nearest service agent.
10 adjusting the Output
Pressure Regulator. To do this, turn the Pressure
Regulator Knob clockwise to increase pressure, anticlockwise to decrease.
Note: For most spraywork do not exceed 50 psi
(unless following paint manufacturers instructions).
For other airline equipment such as air tools, tyre gauges, staple guns, paraffin guns etc., it may be necessary to set the operating pressure at a higher (or lower) level.
Fig. 2A
IMPORTANT:
Always refer to the accessory manufacturers recommendations for optimum operating pressures for their equipment.
6. With operating pressure set, re-open the air outlet tap.
7. The Pressure Switch, located within the plastic cover beneath the ON/OFF knob, should not require adjustment. This is an automatic device and has been pre-set at the factory to stop the motor when pressure in the receiver reaches its maximum, and to start it again when the pressure in the receiver falls to the minimum preset value. This operation is completely automatic and does not affect the spraying process in any way. However, should problems develop with the cut-in, cut out settings, please consult your Clarke dealer, or the Clarke Service Dept.
NOTE: a. If the machine pumps continuously without cutting out then the compressor is too small for the application/tool being used, and damage may result.
Consult your Clarke dealer.
Fig. 3 b. The motor is protected by a Thermal
Overload so that if the motor overheats for any reason - the thermal overload will trip, stopping the motor. To restart, allow a period for the motor to cool down, before pressing the Reset Button, illiustrated in fig 2A and 3.
c. DO NOT exceed the Duty Cycle for the machine (see Specifications).
7
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. To shut off the compressor, simply press DOWN on the ON/OFF knob (See
Fig. 2) . Always use this knob to shut down the compressor. NEVER USE THE
MAINS SWITCH TO STOP MOTOR.
2. Close the air outlet tap and trigger the equipment (spraygun, air tool etc.) to release air from the air hose before disconnecting the hose from the machine.
3. Before transporting your compressor or when leaving overnight, expel all air from the receiver by opening the drain valve (55).
MAINTENANCE
A. DAILY
1. Drain any condensate that may have accumulated in the receiver daily by unscrewing the drain valve underneath the air receiver (figs. 2 and 5).
2. Check the oil level before you start and top up if necessary - (use Clarke SAE 40 compressor oil).
Fig. 5
B. PERIODICALLY
1. After the first 5 hours of running the compressor, check the cylinder head bolts and motor housing screws and re-tighten if any have worked loose.
2. After the first 100 hours use replace the oil completely using Clarke SAE 40 compressor oil. Thereafter replace the oil completely after every 500 hours of operation or every 6 months.
To empty the oil from the machine remove the drain plug from the crankcase cover (see figs. 2A and 6).
Fig. 6
3. Every 50 hours (more frequently if used in a dusty environment), clean the air intake filter, by carefully prising off the plastic filter from the air inlet, opening the bottom flap, and withdrawing the sponge element (see Fig 7).
Clean the sponge and the inner housing. If necessary, thesponge filter may be gently washed in warm soapy water, rinsed and allowed to dry thoroughly
8 before refitting. Ensure that the outer filter cover is then pushed back on to the air inlet.
If any part of the filter is damaged then you should obtain a replacement.
4. Every 500 hours of operation or every 6 months
clean all the external parts of the compressor.
(This cleaning makes the cooling process more efficient and prolongs the life of the machine).
Check and clean the inlet and outlet valves (consult your Clarke dealer).
Examine the non-return valve and replace the gasket if necessary (fig. 8)
5. In the event of an air leak follow the procedure below:
Load compressor to maximum pressure.
Fig. 7
Parts List item No. 59
