SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR

Fig. 2) . Always use this knob to shut down the compressor. NEVER USE THE

MAINS SWITCH TO STOP MOTOR.

2. Close the air outlet tap and trigger the equipment (spraygun, air tool etc)

to release air from the air hose before disconnecting the hose from the

machine.

3. Before transporting your compressor or when leaving overnight, expel all air

from the receiver by opening drain valve located at the bottom of the

receiver, and shown in fig 4.

MAINTENANCE

A. DAILY

1. Check the oil level before you start

and top-up if necessary - (use Clarke

your local dealer).

2. Drain any condensate that may

have accumulated in the receiver

by unscrewing the drain plug

beneath the air receiver (fig. 4).

B. PERIODICALLY

1. After the first 5 hours of running the compressor, check the cylinder head

bolts and motor housing screws and re-tighten if any have worked loose.

2. Every 50 hours (more frequently if

used in a dusty environment), clean

the air intake filter, by carefully prising

the filter from the cover as shown in

fig. 5

Clean the sponge and the inner

housing. If necessary, the sponge

filter may be gently washed in warm

soapy water, rinsed and allowed to

dry thoroughly before refitting.

If the filter is damaged, you should

obtain a replacement immediately.
