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

and top-up if necessary - (use Clarke

beneath the air receiver (fig. 4).

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

denoted by the symblol .

Ensure the screw is turned back to

the locked position when completed

13)
