Gas Powered 3-in-1 Compressor / Generator / Welder
neck, leaving the top of the gas tank and neck
empty to allow expansion room.
To prevent having to refuel a
hot engine, check the fuel
level on a cold engine before
use each day.
8. Make sure no tools are attached to air hose nor to
the generator before starting engine.
9. Pull the compressor pressure relief knob to up
position (JA, fig.6 and fig.11) to release head
pressure and for easy starting. Failure to open
pressure relief valve will cause electric start motor
to overheat.
10. Turn on (move to the right) the fuel valve lever (1,
fig.12).

11. For cold engine start, move choke lever all the
way left to the full choke (closed) position (2,
fig.12). For engines that are already warm, place
lever in half choke or run position.
12. Turn the key (or pull recoil start handle) to start
engine.
13. After unit is warm, put the compressor pressure
relief valve back into run position (fig.13).
Engine Throttle
Make sure, when starting the engine, to set
the engine throttle to the 1/4 postion. Unit is
equipped with a centrifugal clutch that engages
and disengages based on the rpms of the
engine. At 1/4 throttle position, the engine is
disengaged from the compressor, welder, and
generator for no-load starting. Allow motor to
warm up under cold starts, for easy start-ups.
While running the generator and welder, the
engine must be at full throttle to maintain 60 Hz
electric power and 190 amp welder. This will
keep from damaging the generator, welder, or
the equipment it is operating.
