PREPARING FOR USE
Before connecting your compressor to the mains supply, check the following:-
• Firstly, ensure the compressor is on level ground. Do not allow it to run if it is standing on an incline.
• Check also that the mains voltage corresponds with that shown on the data label on the side of the compressor.
• The ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
FITTING THE INLET FILTER
1. Remove the cap from the top of the air inlet tube.
2. Push the air inlet filter supplied securely on to the tube.
7
FITTING THE REGULATOR
1. Fit the regulator into position as shown.
2. Do not overtighten the nut.
ADDING OIL
The compressor is supplied without any oil inside.
1. Remove the oil cap from the top of the oil filler tube.
2. Pour the oil into the oil filler tube using the funnel on the bottle, then replace the oil cap.
• Only use Clarke synthetic compressor oil, available from your Clarke dealer (Part No.
3050795).
3. Make sure that the oil level is half way up the oil sight glass.
8
SWITCHING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON
1. To start the compressor, turn the
ON/OFF switch to the ‘I’ (ON) position - the motor should start immediately.
NOTE: If the motor fails to start immediately, the air receiver may already be full of air. Check the tank pressure gauge (shown on the right). If you release air, by opening the air outlet tap, the motor will start automatically once the cut-in pressure is reached.
2. Allow the compressor to run for 10
- 15 seconds, with the air outlet tap, (A) open.
• This will distribute the lubricating oil.
3. Close the outlet tap and connect a suitable air hose to the filter/ regulator outlet (B). Connect the other end to the equipment to be used.
4. Check the safety valve by pulling on the end cap shown.
• Pliers will be needed to grip the end cap and pull against the spring. Air should hiss out when the valve is pulled.
9
5. Adjust the pressure regulator.
• To do this, lift the pressure regulator knob (C), and turn it clockwise to increase the pressure, anticlockwise to decrease the pressure. The pressure is shown on the outlet gauge (D).
• To lock the pressure regulator knob, push the pressure regulator knob down until it clicks into place.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to the accessory manufacturers recommendations for optimum operating pressures for their equipment.
6. With operating pressure set, open the air outlet tap.
7. 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.
NOTE: DO NOT exceed the duty cycle for the machine (see
Specifications).
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. To shut off the compressor, simply turn the ON/OFF switch to the O (OFF) position.
2. Close the air outlet tap and trigger the equipment (spray gun, 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 vent valve.
10
DRAINING THE RESERVOIR
1. Pressurise the reservoir slightly and then turn the compressor off.
2. Attach the small hose supplied to the vent valve as shown.
3. Take the compressor to the sink and place the free end of the small hose in the sink.
4. Tilt the compressor forward slightly and slowly open the vent valve.
5. When the reservoir has been drained, re-tighten the vent valve and remove the hose.
6. Drain any condensate that may have accumulated in the air outlet filter, by twisting and pushing the valve upwards.
