OPERATION (Numbers in brackets refer to fig. 1 below)
Before connecting your Ranger to the mains supply, check the following:-
• The mains voltage is 230V.
• The ON/OFF control knob (A) is in the OFF (lower) position.
• The pressure regulator (C) should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully
anticlockwise.
• If the machine has not been used for 24 hours or so, open the drain valve,
located beneath the reservoir, to drain any condensate which may have
accumulated. When clear, close the valve, finger tight.
IMPORTANT: If the receiver is under pressure, keep your hands well away from the
air being expelled.... remember, compressed air is DANGEROUS!
Now connect a suitable air hose, with a 1/4 BSP connector, between the air outlet
(H) and the spray gun or air tool being used.
Ensure that the rubber washers are in place to form the necessary air tight seals.
These fittings should be screwed by hand but take care not to over tighten. If a
rubber seal is damaged then it should be replaced.
Quick Fit couplings may be used to facilitate quick and simple changing of air
tools. These are available from your Clarke dealer.
Once the hose connections are complete, CHECK AGAIN to ensure the pressure
regulator (C) is turned fully anticlockwise so that compressed air cannot reach
the air tool, then switch the compressor ON, by lifting the ON/OFF knob (A), until it
clicks into the upper position.
The air compressor will now start, and pressure will build up in the receiver to a
regulated max. pressure of 8 Bar (115 psi).
