5. Adjust the pressure regulator.
• To do this, lift the pressure regulator knob (C), and turn it clockwise to
increase the pressure, anticlockwise to decrease the pressure. The
pressure is shown on the outlet gauge (D).
• To lock the pressure regulator knob, push the pressure regulator knob
down until it clicks into place.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to the accessory manufacturers
recommendations for optimum operating pressures for their equipment.
6. With operating pressure set, open the air outlet tap.
NOTE: If the machine pumps continuously without cutting out then the
compressor is too small for the application/tool being used, and
damage may result. Consult your Clarke dealer.
NOTE: DO NOT exceed the duty cycle for the machine (see
Specifications).
SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. To shut off the compressor, simply turn the ON/OFF switch to the O (OFF)
position.
2. Close the air outlet tap and trigger the equipment (spray gun, 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 the vent valve and drain the reservoir.
