SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNIN G

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. NEVER direct a jet of air at people or animals, and NEVER discharge

compressed air against the skin. COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS,

2. NEVER 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. NEVER leave pressure in the receiver overnight, or when transporting.

6. NEVER adjust, or tamper with the safety valves. The maximum pressure

is factory set, and clearly marked on the machine.

7. NEVER operate in wet or damp conditions. Keep the machine dry at

all times.

8. NEVER use in dusty or otherwise dirty locations. A clean atmosphere

will ensure efficient operation.

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. ALWAYS ensure there is adequate ventilation when spraying

inflammable materials e.g., cellulose paint, and keep clear of any

possible source of ignition.

12. ALWAYS 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. ALWAYS consult paint manufacturers instructions for safety and

usageBefore spraying any material .

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

15. NEVER 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 ALWAYS 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. ALWAYS keep children and animals 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 assembly, handle grip and rubber foot are packed separately.

The method of assembly is shown on the packaging, and is duplicated

below.

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. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that 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 (Numbers in brackets refer to fig. 1 below)

Before connecting your Ranger25 to the mains supply, check the

following:-

• The mains voltage is 230V.

• The ON/OFF control knob (1) is in the OFF (lower) position.

• The pressure regulator (2) should be set at its lowest setting, i.e. turned

fully anticlockwise, and the tap (3) screwed IN to its closed position.

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

receiver drain valve (6) 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!

Now connect a suitable air hose, fitted with quick-fit adaptors, between

the air outlet (4) and the spray gun or air tool being used.

Ensure that the rubber washers are in place to form the necessary air tight

seals. These fittings should be screwed by hand but take care not to over

tighten. If a rubber seal is damaged then it should be replaced.

If you do not wish to use the Quick Fit method of hose connection, simply

remove the Quick Fit retaining nut and use an air hose fitted with

conventional 1/4 BSP connectors.

Once the hose connections are complete, CHECK AGAIN to ensure the

pressure regulator (2) is turned fully anticlockwise so that compressed air

cannot reach the air tool, and switch the compressor ON, by lifting the

ON/OFF knob (1), until it clicks into the upper position. The air compressor

will now start, and pressure will build up in the receiver to a regulated

maximum pressure of 115 psi (8 Bar) as indicated on the pressure gauge (5).

Fig.1

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Daily before use, always open the drain valve to ensure that any

condensate, which may have accumulated, is drained off.

It is important to keep the CLARKE Air Compressor clean, and this may be

done 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. Also,

particles must not at any time be allowed to pass through into the cylinder

head as this would adversely affect the valves, possibly causing damage,

and entail more extensive dismantling and cleaning.

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.

To clean the air intake filter, carefully prise off the plastic cover and remove

the sponge element from inside. (See fig.1, item 7). Clean the sponge and

the inner housing using a soft brush.

If necessary, the sponge filter may be gently washed in warm soapy water,

rinsed and allowed to dry thoroughly before refitting. Ensure that the outer

filter cover is then clipped back into its original position. If any part of the

filter is damaged then you should obtain a replacement.

Turn ON the air supply to your air tool by opening the tap (3), and turn the

pressure regulator (2) clockwise so that your chosen setting, shown on the

label on top of the regulator knob, is opposite the inverted vee mark on

the side of the casting. Note that the pressure gauge registers the pressure

in the air receiver only.

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.

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.

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.

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

before disconnecting the tool.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

With considerate use, your CLARKE Air Compressor should provide you

with a long and trouble free period of operation. 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.
