FOR YOUR SAFETY

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, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY MAY RESULT. IT IS IN YOUR OWN INTEREST TO READ AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING RULES:

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS
• Ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully understand the Operating Instructions supplied and are suitably trained
• Stop the engine and ensure the pressure is expelled from the air receiver before carrying out any maintenance.
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when spraying flammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.
• Protect yourself. Think carefully about any potential hazards which may be created by using the air compressor and use the appropriate protection. e.g. Goggles will protect your eyes from flying particles. Face masks will protect you against paint spray and/or fumes. Ear defenders will prevent hearing damage caused by load noise.
• Consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and usage, before spraying
• Ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and all pressurised air from the machine and other equipment attached to it, is expelled BEFORE disconnecting air hoses or other equipment.
• Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor and any equipment attached to it.
• Ensure that any equipment or tool used in conjunction with your compressor, has a safety working pressure exceeding that of the machine.
DO NOT
• Direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin. Compressed air CAN BE dangerous!

• Leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.
• Adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure is factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.
• Operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at all times. Similarly, a clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations.
• Touch the machine until it has cooled down...some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation.
• Operate your compressor with any guards removed.

FIRE PREVENTION

ALWAYS
• Switch the engine OFF when refuelling.
• Refuel away from any source of heat.
• Refuel in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT
• Overfill the tank, fill to the level specified.
• Smoke whilst refuelling and avoid smoking or using a naked flame near the compressor.
• Start the engine if there is spilled fuel. Any spillage must be wiped clean and the compressor allowed to dry before attempting to start the engine.

EXHAUST GAS PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS
• Make sure that there is adequate ventilation when using the compressor.
• Position the compressor so that the exhaust is pointed away from people or animals.
DO NOT
• Use the compressor indoors or in an enclosed area. (i.e. in a warehouse, tunnel, well, hold etc.)
WARNING: EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE FATAL

GENERAL NOTES

• NEVER allow anyone, not fully familiar with compressors, to use this equipment.
• DO NOT alter the engine settings....these settings are set at the factory.
Should they need re-calibration - consult your Clarke dealer

OVERVIEW

Page 7

PREPARATION FOR USE

A. ENVIRONMENTAL

• Ensure the compressor is sited on a firm level surface.
• Ensure the environment is dry and dust free.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation for: (a) Air intake to compressor pump, (b) Cooling for compressor pump, (c) Engine exhaust gases.

B. ENGINE

Check oil and fuel levels and a visual check of components. Refer to engine service manual.

C. PUMP

• Check oil level on the sightglass - to level marked.

D. FUELLING

Fill with unleaded petrol, according to the instructions within the engine manual.
• Ensure the fuel tap is set to the required position.
• Ensure The fuel hose and connectors are intact, in perfectly serviceable condition and there is no leakage.
NOTE: Always use a funnel to fill the fuel tank so as to avoid accidental
spillage of fuel. If fuel is spilled it must be removed from the unit and surrounding area, before attempting to start the engine.

E. RECEIVER

• Drain off any condensate, by opening the drain cock (see Fig. 1). Remember to close the drain cock when completed.
NOTE: This should be carried out DAILY when the compressor is in
constant use.

F. AIR HOSE & AIR TOOL

• Attach the air hose to the outlet using an appropriate connector.
• Attach the air tool/spray gun to the air hose...If using snap couplings, use a whip end, available from your Clarke dealer.

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR

1. At the beginning of the day, open the drain cock and allow any condensate to drain completely, then close the drain cock.
2. To ease starting, ensure there is no pressure in the pump outlet manifold by opening the Bleed valve.
3. Connect the air hose to the air outlet.
4. Connect your air tool to the air hose.
• Make sure that the air outlet
tap is closed
5. Start the engine in accordance with the instructions contained in the engine service manual, If this is the first time you are using the compressor, allow it to run for 10 minutes.
6. Close the bleed valve fully.
• Pressure will build up in the receiver and eventually the air governor will
operate so that the engine runs off load.
• The pressure registered on the pressure guage should be 100psi.
7. Use your air tool as prescribed in its user guide.
• When the pressure has dropped by approximatley 20psi the compressor
will start up again.

STOPPING THE COMPRESSOR

1. At the end of the day, stop the compressor in accordance with the instructions in the engine manual,
2. Operate the air tool trigger or operating lever etc., to ensure there is no pressure in the air line, then disconnect airline and tool.
WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE AIR TOOL OR DISCONNECT THE AIR HOSE UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELIEVED.
3. Finally, close the drain cock very slowly to release pressure in the tank..
4. Take care not to touch the engine or pump as they remain hot for some time after use.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY

1. Drain Air Receiver of any condensate
2. Check engine oil level and top up where necessary. Ensure the dipstick breather hole is not blocked.
3. Check pump oil level

WEEKLY

1. Clean Pump Air Filter
• Unbolt the Pump Air Filter cover and pull away to reveal foam element.
If badly contaminated, replace. Remove any loose contaminants if any then replace.
2. Clean the engine cooling fins.
6 MONTHLY
1. Renew pump lubricating oil.
2. Drain pump by removing the drain screw.
3. Replace screw and top up the oil to the level on the sightglass. Use SAE40 oil available from your Clarke dealer as follows:
• Compressor oil - 1 litre: Part No.
3050810
• Compressor oil - 5 litre: Part No.
3050802
In addition to the above, check the engine manual for service schedule.
Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.
