EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
In the unlikely event that you accidentally submerge your unit, the situation can be saved if you ACT QUICKLY and DON’T
PANIC.
1. Get everything onboard or ashore. Rinse everything with fresh water including the engine. Open compressor heads
and rinse. At this point you may transport the unit to a qualified technician or if you are comfortable with the follow -
ing steps you may do them yourself.
2. Do not attempt to run the engine. There is a chance that the motor will “water lock” when it is flooded with seawater.
If you force the engine to turn, you risk more damage. Do not do this.
3. Get the following items together: New spark plug/Gap, 3 pints of natural 10W30, set of wrenches/ratchets, screw-
drivers – both Phillips and slotted head, can of starter fluid.
4. Remove the spark plug.
5. Remove the air cleaner, rinse and set aside to dry.
6. Remove hoses connected to compressor and drain. Leave them unattached for now.
7. Remove the brass bolt and cover under the carburetor and drain the gasoline into a container and discard. Run
fresh fuel through the line, roughly ½ gallon.
8. Remove all drain plugs and drain oil. Put bottom drain plugs back in and fill again with one pint of oil.
9. Give the machine a few short pulls. Water will shoot out of the spark plug hole.
10. Remove the muffler.
11. Give the machine a few more short pulls – until water no longer spurts out.
12. Spray starter fluid into spark plug chamber to help dry out residual water.
13. Remove the housing around the pulley, and remove rust around magneto and rotor. Re-assemble.
14. Give the engine about a half dozen pulls to get the clean oil around parts inside the housing. Drain the oil again.
15. You may want to turn the engine up side down to ensure there is no more water emerging. If there is, spray more
starter fluid into the hole to dry any more water.
16. Fill with oil, put in new spark plug, replace the air cleaner, reconnect compressor hose, and assemble the carbure-
tor and muffler. Do not use any more starter fluid. To do so could be dangerous.
17. Turn switch to “on” and pull.
18. Let unit run for about 10 minutes. Drain and refill oil once more.
IF THE ENgINE IS STILL FROZEN:
1. It might be the bearing in the compressor or the engine itself. Also the flapper valves in the compressor may have
broken after the inrush of water.
2. You should return the unit to the factory so a qualified technician may fully evaluate the damage.
IF YOU HAVE LET THE UNIT SIT AFTER HAVINg BEEN FLIPPED:
1. Chances are there will be more problems especially with salt corrosion.
2. You should return the unit to the factory so a qualified technician may fully evaluate the damage.

2. Flip the engine switch to the “ON” position.
3. Grasp starter handle, and start engine as you would a lawn mower. Use choke if necessary.
