ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Adding Fuel
Fuel Specification
•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) by volume is
acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE are not the same. Do not use gasoline with 15% ethanol (E15) by volume.
Never use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol),
E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains up to 85% ethanol ). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use fuel containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel containers over the winter unless you use a fuel stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to fuel.
IMPORTANT
Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. Do not use fuel
stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.
IMPORTANT
Do not use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, or gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol because the fuel system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with fuel.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fuel tank capacity: 5 US gallons (18.5 L)
1. Park the machine on a level surface, shut off the engine, engage the parking brake, and remove the key.
2. Clean around the fuel-tank cap and remove it.
3. Add fuel to the fuel tank, until the level is 6 mm to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the bottom of the filler neck.
IMPORTANT
This space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
4. Install the fuel-tank cap securely.
5. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
Performing Daily Maintenance
Before starting the machine each day, perform the following daily-check procedures:
• Checking the Engine-Oil Level
•
Checking the compressor oil level.
•
Checking the level in the trans axle oil reservoir.
•
Check tire pressure before and after each use.
•
Check probes before and after each use for excessive wear.
•
After all air has been released, remove each cylinder and move the rod up and down, 2-3 times, to expel
any moisture build-up in the cylinder. Use the brush (provided in the toolbox on the machine) to clean out
the cylinder mount tubes. Re-mount the cylinders to the base.
• After each use, it is important to store the AIR2G2
®
-336 without having air pressure in the system.
•
Pressure can be released in 3 different ways: 1) Press and release #8; 2) Open ball valve on right side of
air tank, or 3) Open the water separator and drain water and air.
