WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand
the engine instruction's manual for safety, operation and maintenance
instructions.
4. Prepare engine for first time use, see engine's instruction manual
for correct procedure.
5. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch (C) to the ON position.
6. Start engine, see engine's instruction manual for correct
procedure.
7. 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.
8. After 30 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise
and rotate the manual lock on the unloader valve into the closed
position so the air tank pressure can build.
9. 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.
10. Compressed air will be available from the hose air outlet until it
is used up or bled off.

Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow
Pre-start Checklist under
Preparation for Use
.
. Pull out and turn regulator knob (F) counterclockwise until fully
closed. Push in to lock. Regulated pressure gauge should read
0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Rotate the manual lock unloader lever to the
open position to
assist with start up.
4. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch (C) to the ON position.
5. Start engine, see engine's instruction manual for correct
procedure.
6. Rotate manual lock unloader lever to the
closed position to allow
air tank pressure to build.
note: Pump will not operate with the
manual lock unloader lever in the
open position.
7. Allow compressor to pump up to
blow off pressure.
note: If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor
and refer to the troubleshooting section.
note: The air compressor pump is capable of running continuously.
To prolong the air compressor's life, it is recommended to run at high
throttle 50-75% of the run time and idle for 5% of the run time
8. Attach hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
WARNING:
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit
may contain water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered
air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air operated
tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the
air tool or device.
9. Adjust regulator (F) to desired setting. See
regulator under
Features.
Shut-down
1. Stop engine, see engine's instruction manual for correct
procedure.
note: If finished using compressor, follow Steps –6.
. Turn regulator knob (F) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
