and should be ready to operate. Be sure to check oil and fuel level prior to starting.
Pre-Use Inspection
1. Verify the compressor is on flat/level surface.
2. Ensure there are no flammable items i.e., fuel cans or rags inside or within 25ft of the compressor.
3. Make sure the compressor used in an open and well-ventilated area.
4. Check that the compressor is not placed next to any obstacle to avoid recycling hot air and/or exhaust fumes.
