  If your Clarke Air Compressor has stopped and won't start, there might be a few reasons. First, check the electrical connections, clean, and tighten them if needed. If that doesn't work, the overload cutout switch may have tripped; switch off the compressor, wait about 5 minutes, press the reset button, and switch it on again. If the problem persists, the motor windings might be burnt out, and you should contact your Clarke dealer for a replacement motor.

  If your Clarke Air Compressor doesn't start, it could be because the reservoir is already fully pressurized. To fix this, open the drain valve to release air. The compressor should start again once the pressure decreases.

  If your Clarke Air Compressor doesn't reach the set pressure and overheats easily, it might be because the compressor head gasket is blown, or a valve is broken. Return the machine to your nearest service agent for repair.

  If air is leaking from the non-return valve of your Clarke Air Compressor when it's not running, it could be due to a faulty non-return valve. First, completely drain the air from the receiver. Then, remove the valve end plug, carefully clean the valve seat and the gasket, and reassemble everything.
