Why does my Clarke XE start when no air is being used?
If your Clarke Air Compressor unit starts when no air is being used, locate and repair any leaks in the pipework system.
What to do if Clarke Air Compressor runs continuously but can’t attain the working pressure required?
If your Clarke Air Compressor runs continuously but doesn't reach the required working pressure, several factors could be responsible. The suction filter might be blocked, so try changing it. For machines that are not direct drive, the V-belt might be too slack and need tightening. There could also be a leak between the compressor block and air receiver, or leaks in or near the air receiver; tighten the connection and repair any leaks. Ensure unobstructed airflow around the unit.
Why does my Clarke Air Compressor start and stop frequently?
If your Clarke Air Compressor starts and stops more frequently than usual, drain off condensation from the air receiver at least once a week. Locate any leaks in the control unit or inspection cover using soapy water and repair them.
Why is the electric motor too hot on my Clarke Air Compressor?
If the electric motor on your Clarke Air Compressor is too hot, ensure the operational voltage is not too low. Also, clean the cooling fins of the electric motor if they are blocked by dirt.
Why is the electric motor of my Clarke Air Compressor too hot?
If the electric motor of your Clarke Air Compressor is too hot (maximum temperature 90oC / 194oF): * Call an electrician if the operational voltage is too low. * Clean the cooling fins of the electric motor if they are blocked by dirt.
What to do if there is condensation at outlet points of Clarke Air Compressor?
If you are experiencing condensation at the outlet points of your Clarke Air Compressor, ensure a better fresh air supply for the compressor and consider using a larger air receiver.
How to cool down too hot electric motor in Clarke XE Air Compressor?
If the electric motor of your Clarke Air Compressor is too hot, ensure that the operational voltage is not too low, and call an electrician to check it. Clean the cooling fins of the electric motor if they are blocked by dirt.
Why does the bleed valve blow when my Clarke XE is not running?
If the bleed valve under the pressure switch blows while your Clarke Air Compressor is not running, the non-return valve may be leaking. Clean or replace the non-return valve.
What to do if Clarke Air Compressor machine running but not pumping air into the receiver (10HP only)?
If your 10HP Clarke Air Compressor is running but not pumping air into the receiver, and air is exhausting from the solenoid after the starter has changed direction from star to delta, check the solenoid valve.
Why is my Clarke XE Air Compressor becoming too hot?
If your Clarke Air Compressor is overheating, it could be due to insufficient ventilation. Ensure adequate airflow to the flywheel or fan and proper venting of hot air. Other causes include a low oil level (check and fill as needed), dirt on cooling fins or the suction filter (clean them), or a partly blocked non-return valve (clean or thaw it out). If the compressor is being overworked, consider using a larger unit.
