GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Floors should always be kept clear. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 2. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause loss of control. 3. The compressor should only be used in areas with adequate ventilation and should not be exposed to heat or used near flammable substances. PERSONAL SAFETY 1.
2. ALWAYS maintain the compressor with care and keep it clean for best / safest performance. 3. NEVER use this compressor if any part is damaged. Have it inspected and repaired by your Clarke dealer. 4. NEVER attempt to modify the compressor or its components in any way. Doing so will invalidate the guarantee and could result in personal injury. 5. NEVER abuse the power cable. Never pull on the cable when removing the plug from the socket or lift the compressor by the power cable. 6.
AIR COMPRESSOR SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. ONLY USE WITHIN THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: This compressor should only be used in an ambient temperature of between +5OC and +40OC (never at, or below freezing temperatures). 2. NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH APPEARS DEFECTIVE OR IS OPERATING ABNORMALLY: If the compressor operates unusually or makes strange noises, switch off immediately and purge the air reservoir. Arrange repairs with your nearest Clarke dealer. 3.
SERVICING & STORAGE 1. TURN OFF THE COMPRESSOR WHEN NOT IN USE: When not in use, turn off by depressing the On/Off switch, then remove the plug from the mains supply. Slowly undo the drain valve to release the pressure from the reservoir. Close the drain valve before storage and ensure it is fully tightened before use. 2. MOVING THE COMPRESSOR: Always transport the compressor by lifting it by the handle. 3. CLEANLINESS AND CONDITION OF THE COMPRESSOR: Keep the external surfaces of the reservoir clean.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly before connecting the product to the mains supply. Before switching the machine on, ensure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. Connecting to any other power source may cause damage. • Model 2225220 requires an earthed 110Vac 50Hz power supply. • Model 2225215 requires a domestic 230Vac 50Hz power supply. This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug.
In the case of model 2225220, connect the mains lead to a suitable 110V (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved plug or suitably fused isolator switch. If using a portable 110V transformer, make sure it has a rated capacity sufficient to take the load of the compressor. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt repairs yourself.

PREPARATION FOR USE WARNING: Before using the compressor, make sure that you have read and understood the safety instructions. UNPACKING Take care when lifting the compressor from the packaging and get assistance if necessary to avoid personal injury or damage to the machine. Always lift using the handle and frame. Caution! Never take the weight of the compressor by the regulator /pressure control switch. Get assistance if necessary.
• The pressure regulator should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully anticlockwise. (- & + arrows are shown on the knob) • If the compressor has not been used recently, open the drain valve shown in Fig 1 to drain any condensate which may have accumulated. When clear, close the valve, finger tight. Fig 1 IMPORTANT: If the receiver is under pressure, keep your hands well away from the air being expelled.
CHECKING THE OIL 1. Remove dipstick as shown in Fig 3 and check the level of oil is between the MAX and MIN marks as shown in Fig 4. If not, top up to the correct level with Clarke SAE40 compressor oil available from your Clarke dealer. 2. After the first 5 working hours, replace the oil as described under MAINTENANCE on page 16.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING THE COMPRESSOR 1. Pull the ON/OFF switch shown in Fig 5, upwards to start the compressor. The motor should start immediately and run while the reservoir is being pressurised. 2. When starting the compressor for the first time and before connecting it to the airline equipment, leave it running for about 10 minutes to permit a good distribution of lubricating oil. Fig 5 3.
NORMAL RUNNING The compressor is fitted with a combined ON/OFF pressure control switch whose cut-in and cut-out pressures are factory set. When the reservoir pressure falls below the minimum threshold setting, (about 2-bar lower than the maximum pressure) the compressor will re-start and will cut out when the maximum reservoir pressure is achieved.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always vent the air receiver before carrying out any adjustments, servicing or maintenance. Never unscrew a connection whilst the air receiver is under pressure. Always ensure the receiver has been vented. DAILY / WEEKLY / BEFORE USE 1. Drain any condensate by opening the drain valve fitted to the receiver. As soon as air starts to flow out, close the drain cock. 2. Inspect the compressor for damaged parts or for any loose screws or bolts. 3.
2. Replace the drain plug and re-fill with fresh oil up to the MAX level on the dipstick using Clarke SAE40 compressor oil. CAUTION: PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO USED OIL IS DANGEROUS, ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING USED OIL. RECOMMENDED OILS Any compressor oil can be used which is suitable for use at room temperatures from +5OC to +40OC. Fig 9 Clarke SAE40 Compressor Oil (1 litre) is available from your Clarke dealer (part no 3050810). See the Clarke catalogue for other consumables.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM PROBLEM SOLUTION Pressure drop in the receiver. Air leaks at connections. Run the compressor to create maximum pressure. Switch it off and brush a soapy water solution onto all connections. Look carefully for air bubbles being forced out. T ighten any connections where bubbles are seen. If problem persists, contact your Clarke dealer. Compressor stops and will not start again. Bad electrical connections. Check connections. Clean and tighten as necessary. Blown fuse.
In the event that any of the above situations arise, requiring the dismantling and overhaul of the compressor, contact your Clarke International Service Department on 020-8988-7400.
