How can I troubleshoot if the compressor fails to start?

Check if the unit is properly plugged in and the switch is turned on. Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker and replace if needed. Ensure the pressure switch is not faulty and the tank pressure is below the maximum limit.

What should I do if the air pressure is not building up in the tank?

Inspect for any air leaks in the connections and hoses. Check the intake filter for blockages. Ensure the pressure relief valve is functioning correctly and not leaking.

How do I change the oil in the Clarke Airmaster 18 200p?

Turn off and unplug the compressor. Use the drain plug to remove old oil into a suitable container. Replace the drain plug and fill with new compressor oil to the recommended level.

What type of oil should be used in the compressor?

Use a high-quality compressor oil with a viscosity grade recommended in the user manual, typically SAE 30 or 20W-50. Avoid using motor oils as they can cause damage to the compressor.

How can I reduce noise levels during operation?

Place the compressor on a rubber mat to reduce vibrations. Ensure all bolts and connections are tight to prevent rattling. Consider using a soundproof enclosure if noise is a significant concern.

What should I do if the compressor overheats?

Turn off the compressor and allow it to cool down. Check for obstructions in the cooling fins or vents. Ensure the oil level is adequate and not old or contaminated.

How do I safely drain moisture from the tank?
