INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

For your convenience, purchase a 1/4" NPT nipple,
2 1/2" long, and a 1/4" NPT x 1/4" NPT coupling (pipe
collar) to allow ease in draining oil. Remove oil drain plug
on the gas tank side of the engine and install the nipple.
Thread the coupling on the end of the nipple and screw
the drain plug in the coupling. See Figure 2.

With the unit in a level position, fill the gas tank (approx.
3/4 gal.) with fresh, clean unleaded gasoline. Regular
gas is an acceptable substitute. Do not use premium
gasoline.

GASOLINE VAPOR IS HIGHLY FLAM-
MABLE. REFUEL OUTDOORS PREFERA-
BLY, OR ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AR-
EAS. DO NOT REFUEL OR CHECK GASO-
LINE LEVEL WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUN-
NING. DO NOT STORE, SPILL OR USE
GASOLINE NEAR AN OPEN FLAME.

Break-in Procedures

1.

Open outlet valve to prevent pressure from build-
ing up in the tank. Set toggle lever of unloader valve
in the vertical position to relieve compressor head
pressure. See Figure 3. Move the choke lever to
"choke" position and move on-off lever to the "on"
position. See Figure 4. Pull choke all the way out.
Move stop switch away from spark plug.

Figure 3

Figure 4

NOTE

A warm engine requires less choking than a
cold engine.

Unit is top heavy. Make sure the compres-
sor is stable and will not tip before pulling
the starting cord.

DO NOT  MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE.
