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 MAY RESULT. 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 CONNECTIONS Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green & Yellow Blue - Earth Neutral Brown - Live • Connect GREEN & YELLOW cord to terminal marked with a letter “E” or Earth symbol “ ” or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
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. • Ensure that you are not pressing down on the ON/OFF switch. FITTING THE INLET FILTER 1. Remove the cap from the top of the air inlet tube. 2.
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.
SWITCHING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON 1. To start the compressor, use your foot to press and hold down the ON/OFF switch - 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 1015 seconds, with the air outlet tap, (A) open.
6. With operating pressure set, open the air outlet tap. NOTE: DO NOT exceed the duty cycle for the machine (see Specifications). SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR 1. To shut off the compressor, simply Lift your foot off of the ON/OFF switch. 2. Close the 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. DRAINING THE AIR OUTLET FILTER 1.
