WARNING:
Risk of bursting. When the tank
gets corroded, there is a risk of
breakdown. Water will condense
in the air tank. If not drained,
water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank
rupture. Drain tank daily or after
4 hours of use. The drain contains
moisture in the air, abrasion
particles, rust, etc. To drain
tank open valve slowly and tilt
compressor to empty accumulated
water.

C) Allow the compressor to cool down.
D) Pull out the spark plug cap. Move the fuel shut-o
ff
valve lever to the OFF position (refer to the Engine
Manual accompanying this unit).
E) Wipe this compressor clean and store in a safe,
nonfreezing area.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Turn o
ff
the engine switch. Remove
the compressed air from the
air tank before performing the
maintenance operations. Allow
the compressor to cool before
performing the maintenance
operations. Always stop engine
and pull out the spark plug cap to
prevent any sudden start of the
engine.
Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance.
The following procedures must be performed when stopping
the compressor for maintenance or service.
A) Turn o
ff
the compressor.
B) Wait for this compressor to cool down before starting
service.
C) Open all drains.
D) Pull out the spark plug cap.
1. Cleaning the air intake
fi
lter
This
fi
lter is designed to clean air coming into the pump
(Fig. 10). To ensure the pump continually receives
clean, cool, dry air supply this
fi
lter must always be
clean and ventilation opening must always be free from
obstructions. Check this
fi
lter weekly.
2. Adjustment of working pressure
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by
the regulator knob (Fig. 8). Turn the pressure regulation
knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and
counterclockwise to decrease discharge pressure.

Regulator
pressure gauge
Fig. 8
The regulator 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 adjustment 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.
CAUTION: Make sure the air
fl
ow to the regulator
is completely closed (pressure gauge
attached reads 0 PSI) before attaching
and disconnecting air hose.
3. Shutdown
A) To stop this compressor, move the engine switch
to the “O
ff
” position (Refer to the Engine Manual
accompanying this unit).
B) Gradually open both the drain valves, take out the
drainage and all the compressed air inside the tank
to prevent any internal corrosion of the tank (Fig. 9).
