GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your compressor, read and pay attention to the following safety

guidelines.

1. Make sure that all persons using the compressor have read and fully

understand these operating instructions and had any necessary training

2. Compressed air is dangerous. DO NOT point a jet of air at persons or

animals or discharge compressed air against the skin.

3. Repairs must only be carried out by a qualified engineer. If problems occur,

contact your CLARKE dealer.

4. Before carrying out any maintenance, make sure that the pressure is

released from the air receiver.

5. DO NOT leave pressure in the air receiver overnight or when transporting.

6. DO NOT adjust or tamper with the safety valve. The maximum pressure is

BEFORE USE

POSITIONING THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN THE WORKPLACE

1. ALWAYS carry the compressor using the handle.

2. DO NOT lift by (or put strain on) valves or hoses.

3. Before starting, ensure the compressor is standing on a firm level surface

which does not exceed 10oincline, either transversely or longitudinally.

4. Ensure the environment is dry and dust free.

5. Ensure there is adequate ventilation for:

• Air intake to the compressor pump and engine.

• Cooling for the compressor pump and engine.

• Engine exhaust gases.

FILING WITH OIL

The engine and compressor are

supplied without oil inside.

A 1 litre bottle of dual purpose oil is

provided in the box and must be

added before use (approx 0.6 L to

the engine and 0.4 L to the

compressor).

For future use, suitable oils are

available from your CLARKE dealer:

1 litre of SAE30 Engine oil - Part No.

3050852

1 litre of SAE30 Air Compressor oil - Part No. 3050796

AIR COMPRESSOR (PUMP)

Remove the compressor dipstick and

add 0.4 L of compressor oil to the

compressor. Check the oil level on

the dipstick

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

ENGINE

Remove the engine dipstick and add

0.6 L of engine oil to the engine.

Check that the oil level on the

dipstick is within the hatched area

when the dipstick is removed from

the engine.

Ensure the oil level is visible between

the high (H) and low (L) marks on the

engine dipstick.

ADDING FUEL

Remove the filler cap and fill the tank

with unleaded fuel. (Max capacity

1.8 L)

• Use a funnel to avoid

accidental spillage of fuel.

• If fuel is spilled it must be

cleaned from the unit and

surrounding area before

attempting to start the engine.

• Do not overfill.

STARTING AND USING THE COMPRESSOR

STARTING THE ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

NOTE: For first time operation, do not connect the air hose or any tools

and proceed as follows:

1. Turn fuel valve to the ON position.

2. Set the choke lever to the

(starting) position.

3. Set the engine switch to the “I”

(ON) position.

4. Hold the starting handle firmly and

pull lightly until you start to feel

resistance, then pull sharply to

start the engine.

NOTE: You may have to do this

more than once.

WARNING: ONCE THE ENGINE HAS STARTED, ALLOW THE STARTING

HANDLE TO RECOIL SLOWLY TO AVOID INJURY/DAMAGE AS IT WHIPS

BACK.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

5. When the engine is running steadily, gradually return the choke lever to the

normal running position (to the right).

6. When the engine is running steadily, turn off and attach an air hose to the

compressed air outlet and to the air driven tool.

OIL ALERT SYSTEM

An oil alert system is fitted to prevent engine damage caused by insufficient oil

in the crankcase. Before the oil can fall below a safe limit the oil alert system

will automatically stop the engine although the throttle lever remains in a

running position.

If the engine stops and will not re-start, check the engine oil level before

troubleshooting other areas.

ATTACHING AIR TOOLS

1. Attach the air hose to the air

outlet using an appropriate

connector.

2. Attach the air tool to the other

end of the air hose.

• If using snap couplings, use a

whip end, available from your

CLARKE dealer.

3. Restart the engine and allow

pressure to build up in the

receiver.

• The gauge will show the available pressure in the receiver.

4. Check the system for air leaks. If any are apparent, stop the engine and

operate the air tool until the air pressure is at zero before rectifying leaks.

NOTE: A self-relieving regulator is fitted which will vent excess air pressure

from the bleed hole when the pressure reaches the maximum.

operating pressure for the compressor.

5. Turn the pressure regulator (clockwise to increase pressure) and proceed

to use your air tool in accordance with its own product instructions.

WARNING: BEFORE CONNECTING AIR TOOLS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE TOOL. ENSURE THAT THE AIR

TOOL IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH THIS COMPRESSOR AND HOSE

SPECIFICATIONS.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

SUBSEQUENT STARTING

1. Connect the air hose to the air outlet and tool and set the pressure

regulator to zero pressure (turned fully anticlockwise).

2. Start the engine and allow pressure to build up.

3. When the pressure in the receiver has built up and air is expelled at the

vent hole, turn the outlet pressure regulator clockwise so that the desired

pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.

4. Check for air leaks at the air tool and connectors before proceeding.

STOPPING THE COMPRESSOR

1. At the end of the day, stop the engine by turning the engine switch to OFF

and closing the fuel valve.

2. Put a container below the drain valve to collect the condensate.

3. Open the drain valves slowly.

• Condensation will drain from

the air receiver.

4. Close the drain valve when the air

receiver has fully drained.

5. Turn the air regulator fully

anticlockwise to close off the air

supply.

6. Operate the air tool to discharge

any pressure in the air line before disconnecting the airline and the air tool.

CAUTION: TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE ENGINE OR COMPRESSOR AS

THEY REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER USE.

CAUTION: 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 RELEASED.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line

pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.

• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating

pressure of the tool.

• If an automatic in-line lubricator/ filter is used it will keep the air tool

in good condition but should be regularly checked & topped up

with oil. CLARKE air-line oil should be used and the lubricator

adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.

• Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool.

Higher pressures and contaminated air will shorten the life of the tool

due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.

MAINTENANCE

DRAIN THE AIR RECEIVER (DAILY/BEFORE USE)

After use, always open the drain

valve(s) to make sure that any

condensate is drained off.

CHECK OIL (DAILY)

1. Check the engine oil level is

between the Low and High marks

on the dipstick and top-up if

necessary.

2. Check the compressor oil level in

the same way.

3. Remove each dipstick and wipe it clean. Insert the dipstick into the hole as

far as it will go, then remove it to check the oil level. Do not overfill. Refit the

dipstick. Top up if necessary as described on pages 5 & 6.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU

ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF A

COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
