SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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:

1. COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS, NEVER direct a jet of air at people or animals,

and NEVER discharge compressed air against the skin.

2. DO NOT operate your compressor with any guards removed.

3. Electrical or mechanical repairs should only be carried out by a qualified

engineer. If problems occur, contact your Clarke dealer.

4. Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the pressure is expelled from

the air receiver, and the machine is disconnected from the mains.

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

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

factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.

7. DO NOT operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at alll

times.

8. A clean atmosphere will ensure efficient operation. Do not use in dusty or

otherwise dirty locations.

9. Some of the metal parts can become quite hot during operation. Take care

not to touch these until the machine has cooled down.

10. Always adjust the pressure regulator to the recommended setting for the

particular spray gun or tool being used.

11. When spraying inflammable materials e.g. cellulose paint, ensure there is

adequate ventilation and keep clear of any possible source of ignition.

12. 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.

13. Before spraying any material always consult paint manufacturers instructions

for safety and usage.

14. Personal safety products can be obtained from your local dealer.

15. Do not exert any strain on electrical cables and ensure that air hoses are not

tangled or wrapped around machinery etc.

16. When disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor ensure

that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and expel all pressurised

air from within the machine and other equipment attached to it.

17. Make sure that children and animals are kept well away from the compressor

and any equipment attached to it.

18. Always ensure that all individuals using the compressor have read and fully

understand the Operating Instructions supplied.

ASSEMBLY

The wheel assemblies are packed separately. The

method of assembly is shown on the right.

Thread the bolt through the wheel hub, through the

hole in the support bracket.

Thread on the spring washer, screw on the nut and

tighten.

When attaching the wheels, do not tip the machine

on to its side.

Screw on the air filter

assembly fully.

IMPORTANT!

Remove the breather - see opposite, and use a

funnel to fill the machine with oil (supplied).

Check to ensure the oil level is midway across the

sight glass, as shown opposite.

Compressor oil is also available from your Clarke

dealer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply

through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator

switch.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond

with the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as

follows:

•Connect GREEN & YELLOW cord to terminal marked with a letter “E”

or Earth symbol “ ” or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.

•Connect BROWN cord to terminal marked with a letter “L” or

coloured RED.

•Connect BLUE cord to terminal marked with a letter “N” or coloured

BLACK.

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric

cable (i.e. non-rewireable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable.

There is a danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a

socket outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

3. When replacing a detachable fuse carrier, ensure the correct

replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).

4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer

or most electrical stockists.

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13

amps) and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains

supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD)

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any

repairs yourself.

OPERATION

Before connecting your Hunter to the mains supply, check the following:-

• The mains voltage is 230V.

• The ON/OFF control knob (A) is in the OFF (lower) position.

• The pressure regulator (C) should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned fully

anticlockwise.

• If the machine has not been used for 24 hours or so, open the drain valve,

located beneath the reservoir, to drain any condensate which may have

accumulated. When clear, close the valve - finger tight.

IMPORTANT: If the receiver is under pressure, keep your hands well away from the

air being expelled.... remember, compressed air is DANGEROUS!

A. ON/OFF Knob

B. Pressure Regulator and Cutout

C. Air Pressure Regulator Knob

D. Air Tank Pressure gauge

E. Safety Valve

F. Air Outlet Pressure gauge

G. Non-Return Valve

H. Air Outlet

Fig.1

Connect a suitable air hose, with a 1/4 BSP connector, between the air outlet (H)

and the spray gun or air tool being used.

Quick Fit couplings may be used to facilitate quick and simple changing of air

tools. These are available from your Clarke dealer.

Open the drain valve to prevent initial loading.

Once the hose connections are complete,

CHECK AGAIN to ensure the pressure regulator

compressed air cannot reach the air tool, then

switch the compressor ON, by lifting the ON/

OFF knob (A), until it clicks into the upper

position.

The air compressor will now start.

Should the motor fail to start immediately, it is probable that the air receiver is

already full of air. Check the tank pressure gauge (D). If you release air, by opening

air outlet tap (H), the motor will start automatically once the cut-in pressure is

reached.

If this is not the case, it is possible that the thermal overload has intervened. This is

a safety device to prevent the motor from overheating. The device will reset when

the temperature falls to a predetermined level. In this event, switch OFF the

machine and wait for 5 - 10 minutes, depending upon ambient temperature,

press the reset button and attempt to restart. If the motor fails to start, after several

attempts, consult your Clarke dealer.

Once the machine has started and run for a few minutes, close the drain valve,

the pressure will build up in the receiver to a regulated max. pressure of 8 Bar (115

psi).

Turn ON the air supply to your air tool by opening the tap (H), and turn the pressure

regulator (C) clockwise so that your chosen setting, is shown on the air outlet

pressure gauge.

Check to ensure that there are no air leaks at any of the couplings or in other

parts of the system before operating the spray gun or air tool in the normal way. If

any leaks are apparent, switch OFF the machine by pushing the ON/OFF knob

downwards, close the outlet tap and rectify before proceeding.

When the compressor reaches its maximum working pressure, the motor will

automatically cut out, and will restart when the pressure has fallen by approximately

20 psi. This automatic STOP/START process will continue, as necessary, to maintain

pressure in the receiver.

Periodically check to make sure the cylonder head bolts are securely tightened.

When you have finished the job in hand ALWAYS switch OFF at the ON/OFF switch,

NOT the mains supply, and release any pressure remaining in the system by opening

the drain valve until all air is expelled. This also allows any condensate to drain off.

ALWAYS operate the air tool to further ensure that there is no pressure in the system

BEFORE disconnecting the tool. Finally, reset the pressure regulator to zero by turning

the knob fully anticlockwise.

Check the oil level, which should be midway across the

sight glass, as shown in Fig.3.

Remove the breather and top up, using a funnel, with Clarke

compressor oil (SAE40).

Drain and replace the oil after 6 months.

When replacing the breather, unscrew the cap

and check the filter for cleanliness as shown in

Fig.4. if it is badly contaminated, it should be

replaced, otherwise, it may be washed gently in

soapy water, rinsed thoroughly and dried before

replacing

Fig. 4

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Before carrying out any of this service work, always disconnect the

machine from the mains supply, drain the air receiver and, if necessary, allow the

machine to cool down before starting work.

Daily

Before use, always open the drain valve to ensure that any condensate, which

may have accumulated, is drained off.

Before use, make sure the cylinder head bolts are securely tightened.

Monthly

It is important to keep the Compressor clean, with the help of a small soft brush

and vacuum cleaner. In particular, the air intake

filter should be inspected at least MONTHLY, and

more often in dusty conditions, so that it is always

kept free of any dirt particles, which if not

cleaned away will affect the performance of

the machine.

To clean the air intake filter, unscrew the cover

and carefully prise out the element shown in

Fig.2. Clean the inner housing using a cloth or

brush.

If the filter is clogged or badly blackened, it should

be replaced. It is not possible to wash the filter

Fig.2

TROUBLE SHOOTING

With considerate use, your CLARKE Air Compressor should provide you with long

and trouble free service. Routine checks should be made on both the electrical

supply as well as on all the compressed air lines and connections. If any fault

appears, the reason for which is not immediately obvious, we recommend that

you contact your local CLARKE Dealer.

CAUTION Do not attempt any repair or adjustment if you are uncertain as to how

it should be done. If you have any queries, contact your local CLARKE Dealer.
