WARNING
: Risk of bursting.
If the safety valve does not work
properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or
an explosion.
D) 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. (Fig. 8)

Min.
Fig. 8
If the oil level is low, replenish oil through the
fi
lling
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 8.
CAUTION: Over
fi
lling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not over
fi
ll.
E) Make sure all guards and covers are in place and
securely mounted.
TRANSPORT
Turn o
ff
the engine switch before move the compressor.
Transport the compressor in the correct manner.
Keep the engine level when transporting to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage. Move the fuel valve lever to the
OFF position (refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this
unit).
WARNING
: Unit weighs more than 159 lbs
(72 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

OPERATION
1. Start-up
A) Read safety warnings before performing operation.
B) When the toggle is in the ON position, all air from
this compressor is vented through the discharge
mu
ffl
er (Fig. 9).
This gives an easy start feature. For normal
operation, the toggle is in the OFF position (Fig. 10).

C) Start engine (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying
this unit).
D) When the engine has run for 1-2 minutes,
fl
ip toggle
back to the OFF 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 modi
fi
ed in any way.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of burns, do not
touch the tubes, heads, cylinder or
mu
ffl
er. Never allow any part of your
body or other materials to contact
with any exposed metal parts on
this compressor. Never allow any
part of your body to contact the
mu
ffl
er or adjacent areas.
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.11). Turn the pressure regulation
knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and
counterclockwise to decrease discharge pressure.
