for correct procedure.
5. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch (C) to the ON position.
6. Place the fuel valve lever (O) in the ON postion.
7. If the engine is cold, move the choke (N) to the CLOSED
position as shown. If the engine is hot, move the choke to the
OPEN position.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Pull starter grip slowly
until resistance is felt. Then pull starter grip (P) rapidly to avoid
kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it
gently by hand.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start, check the oil level and add
oil as needed.
NOTE:
To ensure maximum oil lubrication, place the unit on a
level surface.
8. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the OPEN posi-
tion.
9. Run the air compressor for
30 minutes
to seat the rings and
lubricate all the internal surfaces. Ensure there is no pressure
build up in the air tank by observing the reading on the air tank
pressure gauge.
10. Rotate the manual lock on the unloader valve into the
closed
position so the air tank pressure can build.
11. Close the pressure regulator. Rotate the regulator knob (F)
counterclockwise to its built-in stop and push knob in to lock
in place. This will allow air to build pressure in the air tank.
12. Compressed air will be available from the hose air outlet until
it is used up or bled off.

pressure.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation.
If any unusual noise
or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor and refer to the
