Operating instructions

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.

Note: If the machine pumps continuously without intermittently switching on

and off, the compressor is too small for the demand of the application/tool

being used and damage could result. Consult your Clarke dealer.

OVERLOAD CUT-OUT

The compressor is fitted with an

overload cutout to protect the

motor in the event of overheating.

If the device should trip out and

shut down the compressor, wait

around 5 minutes for the machine

to cool down before re-setting the

device by pressing the overload re-

set button shown in Fig 7.

If, having re-started the compressor,

the overload cutout trips again, set

the main switch to the OFF position,

unplug the machine and consult your Clarke dealer.

SHUTTING DOWN AND STORAGE

Press the red ON/OFF switch to shut off the compressor.

Never stop the compressor by unplugging it from the power supply. It should

be turned off as above.

After use, set the outlet pressure back to zero.

Trigger all equipment (tools, spraygun etc) to release any air pressure from the

air hose before disconnecting the hose from the compressor.

Before transporting or storing the compressor, release all air pressure from the

reservoir by opening the drain valve shown in Fig 1.

• It may be desirable to place a container beneath the compressor

to catch any condensate.

Avoid storing the compressor in an environment where the temperature is

likely to drop to or below freezing.
