OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Start-Up
Read all safety warnings before performing operation.
Do not attempt to operate this air compressor until you
have read and understood all safety precautions and
instructions listed in this manual.
1. Flip the toggle on top of the pilot valve to the upright
position. This provides a loadless start. The air
compressor will unload and allow easier engine start-
up.
2. Start the engine. Refer to the Engine Manual.
3. When the engine has run for 1-2 minutes, flip toggle
back to the original position.
4. Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator
counterclockwise for less pressure and clockwise for
more pressure.
NOTICE
If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the
air compressor and refer to “Troubleshooting”.
Shutdown
1. To stop the air compressor, move the engine switch to
the “OFF” position. Refer to the Engine Manual.
2. Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an
attached air tool or by pulling on the safety relief
valve.
3. Once the air tank pressure gauge registers under 10
pounds, open the drain valve under each air tank to
drain any moisture.
4. Allow the air compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-
freezing area.
