Operation
If you have any problems operating your towable
compressor, please contact your authorized dealer.
WARNING POISONOUS GAS HAZARD.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You
CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not
smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to
carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of
carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and
potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Avoid using the machine in insufficiently ventilated
buildings, garages or tunnels, even if using fans for
ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in
these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this
product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.
You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Oil Recommendations
Engine Oil
We recommend the use of CJ-4 class engine oil or
superior class for best performance. Using poor quality
engine oil may shorten the life of the engine.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity
for the engine.
Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor
temperature range expected.
Note: When two ore more different brands of oil are
mixed, its performance can be deteriorated. When it
is expected to be used for a long period at light load
(less than 20% load), it’s better to replace the oil with
suitable oil.
Compressor Oil
Be sure to use the recommended compressor oil listed in
the table blow.
• Even continuous oil replenishment cannot improve
its deteriorated condition. Be sure to change the
oil completely at every scheduled interval.
• Do not mix it with other brand oil, or it will cause
poor perfromance and shorten the life of the
compressor oil.
• Running the unit with old and deteriorated
compressor oil will cause damage to bearings,
or serious accident like ignition in a separator
receiver tank. Be sure to change the oil
completely at every scheduled interval.

sick and dying from carbon monoxide
poisoning.
