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 confined
area.

Air coupler installation
Screw in the air coupler to the joint (Refer to fig.1 and fig.5).The
screw size of the joint is 3/8”. Use an air coupler which has the
same screw size.

Pre-start checklist
A) 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. If the oil level is low,
replenish oil through the filling 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 OIL TYPE CHART
on page 15.
CAUTION
Overfilling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not overfill.
B)
Remove any moisture in this compressor air tank. Gradually open
the drain cock and discharge the drain. Close tightly when
drained.
C)
Make sure the engine switch is in the “OFF” position.
D) Make sure the safety relief valve, is working correctly (Refer to
fig.1). The safety relief valve is designed to prevent system
failures by relieving pressure from the system when this
compressed air reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief
valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified in
any way. To verify the safety relief valve is working properly, pull
on the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the ring is
released, it will reset.
E)
Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely
mounted.
TRANSPORT
Turn off the engine switch and plug before moving the compressor.
Transport the compressor in the correct manner.
WARNING
Unit weighs more than 140 lbs (63.5 kg).
Do not move or lift without assistance.
WARNING
Ensure proper footing and use caution
when rolling compressor so that unit does
not tip or cause loss of balance.
NOTE: Use the handle to lift or carry the unit.
OPERATION
1. Start-up
A)
Read safety warnings before performing operation.
B) When the toggle is in the upright position, all air from this
compressor is vented through the discharge muffler (fig.4).
This gives an easy start feature. For normal operation, the toggle
is in the 90° position.

C)
Start engine (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit).
D)
When the engine has run for 1-2 minutes, flip toggle back to the
original position. The operation of this compressor is automatic
and is controlled by the pilot valve which idles it when the
pressure in the air-tank reaches the maximum level and restarts it
when the air pressure drops during use to the restart level. The
pilot valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified
in any way.
WARNING
If you notice any unusual noise or
vibration, stop this compressor.
CAUTION
Wear appropriate personal hearing
protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
2. Adjustment of working pressure.
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator
knob (fig.5). Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase
discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease discharge
pressure.

Pressure gauge
The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the
outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator
and is always less or equal to the air tank pressure. The air tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the air tank(s).
When adjusting the pressure, check and make sure that a pressure
gauge for the tank has the pressure level that is higher than that of the
pressure to be adjusted. It is also imperative that you make adjustments
by slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is lower than the
pressure to be adjusted.
WARNING
Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for nailers, staplers and
accessories. Compressor outlet pressure
must be regulated so as to never exceed
the maximum pressure rating of the
nailers, staplers and accessories.
3. Shutdown
A) To stop this compressor, move the engine switch to the “Off”
position (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit).
B)
Gradually open the drain cock, take out the drainage and all the
compressed air inside the tank to prevent any internal corrosion of
the tank (fig.6).
