Jump to the sectionProduct Overview
The Clarke BOXER II 14/100P is a high-performance, belt-driven air compressor designed for reliable service in various workshop and industrial applications. Featuring a 100-liter receiver, this unit provides a consistent supply of compressed air for pneumatic tools. It is essential to read this manual thoroughly before operation to ensure the safety of the user and the longevity of the equipment.
Safety Precautions
Compressed air is inherently dangerous. Never point air jets at people or animals. Always operate the compressor on level ground and in a dry, clean environment. Ensure the unit is disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance. The compressor produces noise levels exceeding 70dB(A), so ear protection is mandatory for operators. Never tamper with safety valves or operate the machine with guards removed. Always ensure that any connected tools have a safe working pressure rating higher than the compressor output.
Assembly and Setup
Upon receipt, attach the wheels and support feet to ensure the unit sits horizontally. Before initial use, remove the protective plastic moulding from the cylinder head. Check the oil level using the dipstick; it must be between the min and max marks. Use only recommended ISO100 (SAE30) compressor oil. Ensure the supply voltage matches the data label before connecting to the mains.
Operation
To start, plug the unit into a 230V supply and lift the On/Off button. The compressor will automatically pressurize the reservoir and shut down. It will restart automatically when pressure drops. Always drain condensate from the reservoir after each day's use by opening the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. When moving the compressor, always use the handle and never lift by the valves or hoses.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is critical for performance. Check the oil level frequently and replace it after the first 100 hours, then every 500 hours or 6 months. Inspect the air filter monthly, cleaning or replacing the element if dirty or damaged. If the compressor stops unexpectedly, it may be due to the thermal overload device; allow the motor to cool for 5 minutes before pressing the reset button. If the issue persists, consult a qualified service agent.
Environmental Responsibility
This product contains valuable raw materials and must not be disposed of with general household waste. Please adhere to WEEE regulations by utilizing a recognized disposal facility for electrical and electronic equipment.

Practical help
Common problems
Compressor stops and does not start
Check electrical connections or press the thermal overload reset button after cooling.
Compressor does not reach set pressure
Check for blown head gasket or broken valve; contact a service agent.
Air leaking from non-return valve
Drain reservoir, remove valve end plug, and clean the valve seat and gasket.
Compressor is very noisy
Internal damage likely; return to a Clarke dealer for an overhaul.
Before use
- Ensure the compressor is on level ground.
- Check that the oil level is between min and max marks.
- Verify supply voltage matches the data label.
- Push down the OFF button before connecting to power.
- Remove protective plastic moulding from the cylinder head.
- Ensure all tools are compatible with compressor pressure.
Specs in practice
- Air Displacement
- The volume of air the compressor can deliver, measured at 394 L/min.
- Max Pressure
- The maximum operating pressure of 10 Bar (145 psi).
- Ingress Protection
- IP20 rating indicates protection against solid objects but not water.
Images and diagrams
- The oil dipstick shows clear min/max levels for proper lubrication.
- The pressure regulator allows adjustment of output pressure by turning clockwise.
- The drain valve is located at the bottom of the reservoir for condensate removal.
- The thermal overload reset button is located on the motor housing.
Model compatibility
- Use only Clarke ISO100 (SAE30) compressor oil.
- Requires a 13 Amp fused supply.
- Connected tools must have a higher safe working pressure than the compressor.
