H) Refer to the engine manual for all necessary
maintenance and adjustments.
WARNING:
Do not operate this compressor
in an enclosed area. Use this
compressor only in well ventilated
areas. The exhaust from the engine
contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous, odorless and invisible
gas. Breathing the gas can cause
serious injury, illness and possible
death. Avoid inhalation of exhaust
gas. Never run the engine in a
closed garage or con
fi
ned area.
3. Attaching
Hose
○
Insert the hose into the quick coupler already installed on
the compressor. (Fig. 2)
WARNING:
Do not attach any tools to the open
end of the hose until start-up has
been completed.
○
Firmly grasp the open end of the hose; hold facing away
from yourself and others.

4. Pre-start
checklist
A) Make sure the engine switch is in the “OFF” position.
B) Remove any moisture in this compressor air tank.
Gradually open the drain valve and discharge the
drain. Close tightly when drained.
C) Make sure the safety valve is working correctly
(refer to Fig.1). The safety valve is designed to
prevent system failures by relieving pressure from
the system when this compressed air reaches a
predetermined level. The safety valve is preset by
the manufacturer and must not be modi
fi
ed in any
way.
Before starting the compressor, pull the ring on
the safety valve to make sure that the safety
valve operates smoothly. (Fig. 3) Do not use the
compressor if the safety valve is stuck or does not
operate smoothly. Have the defective safety valve
replaced by a metabo HPT authorized service
center.

WARNING:
Drain tank to release air pressure
before pull the ring on the safety
valve.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting.
If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or
an explosion.
D) Oil level should be checked on a daily basis to
ensure it does not exceed the maximum notch or
does not fall below the minimum notch on the oil
sight glass. (Fig. 4)

If the oil level is low, replenish oil through the

lling
hole so that the amount of oil will come to a point
between the maximum notch and the minimum
notch of the oil sight glass according to the following
OIL TYPE CHART.
CAUTION: Over
fi
lling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not over
