Imtroduction
Before attempting to use this product, please read this manual thoroughly and follow the instructions carefully. In doing so, you will ensure the safe operation of the compressor. Please note, these compressors are for indoor use only.
Safety Instructions
- DO NOT operate your air compressor with any guards removed.
- DO NOT leave pressure in the air receiver overnight or when transporting.
- Take care when transporting the machine to avoid tipping the machine over.
- DO NOT operate in a wet/damp environment.
- Locate your air compressor on a firm, flat surface with AVMs and ensure an adequate supply of clean air is available to the pump unit.
- The cylinder head and delivery pipes of your compressor become quite hot during operation.
- DO NOT touch. After switching off, remember to leave an adequate cool-down period before touching.
- Ensure that any equipment/tool used in conjunction with your compressor has a safe working pressure exceeding the output pressure of the machine.
- NEVER let people use it unless they have had the necessary training.
Installation
- Select a firm and level site and use of floor mountings for stationary compressors with anti-vibration pads. (Do not bolt machines directly to the floor.)
- Select a dust and damp-free environment.
- Allow adequate ventilation for:• The air intake for the compressor pump.
- Cooling air for the compressor pump and electric motor.
- Allow sufficient access for servicing. A minimum clearance of 500mm must be allowed around the machine.
- The power cable from the main power supply must be adequate to carry the starting and running load of the electric motor. This is particularly relevant if the compressor is some distance from the source of the supply.
Electrical Connection
Connect the mains power lead through a suitably fused isolator to a 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply with a fuse rating as listed in the table below. See the wiring label on the power cable.
- All models must be run from the power supply stated below.
- Both XE29/270 and XE37/270 are supplied with a sequential direct online starter.
- WIS = Wired in starter
- OL = overload protection
Before Starting

- For lubrication of the pump, use Clarke compressor oil as indicated on the machine data plate.
- Check the Automatic Control:- Pressure switch ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
Starting the Compressor
- Switch on the mains power supply.
- Switch on the pressure switch (lift the knob or twist the switch).
- Check the rotation (Flywheel/Fan blows air over the pump)
