3.
Starting engine. (See the engine manual
for more details.)
a.
Move fuel valve lever to the ON position.
b.
For a cold engine, move choke lever to
the CLOSED position. For a warm
engine, leave in OPEN position.
c.
Turn engine switch to ON position.
d.
Grab the recoil starter grip and rapidly
pull out the starter cord. Allow starter
cord to return slowly.
4.
When engine starts, gradually move choke
lever to OPEN position.
5.
After engine has started, move the
unloader to the engine RUN position.
6.
The compressor is now ready to use.
7.
The unloader will maintain pressure in the
tank between 145 to 175 PSI.
8.
Under long, continuous-run
operating conditions, be
prepared to:
Check and refuel on a regular basis.
See engine Owner’s Manual for
more detail.
Check engine oil level each time you
refuel.
NEVER
over-pressurize the receiver tank or air tools
beyond nameplate capacity. Do not operate the unit at
pressures, temperatures or rotational speeds in
excess of manufacturer’s recommendations. Be sure
all accessory equipment and system components
meets or exceeds the pressures and temperatures
developed by the unit. Exceeding the pressure rating
could cause them to explode or fly apar
t.
WARNING
Compressor and any tools must be sized
properly- consider the maximum pressure
requirements and air volume of each.
(Maximum operating pressure of your
compressor and volume rating is listed in
“
Specifications
” section of this manual.)
Inspect hoses for holes or rupture points.
Ensure the switch is in the OFF position and
tank pressure gauge reads zero before
changing air tools or disconnecting hose
from air outlet. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury
.
NEVER use air tools or attachments
without first determining the maximum
pressure recommended for that equipment.
WARNING: Overheating
Do not operate this unit with any components
rated less than the maximum operating
pressure of the unit (175 PSI) unless a
regulator limiting pressure is used.
Note: Many tools are rated for only 90 PSI. It is
acceptable to use a tool rated for 90 PSI when
max. pressure of compressor is 175 ONLY if a
regulator is used and the regulated pressure is
90 PSI or less.
When using high-pressure tools, make sure
the tool is properly coupled, user is wearing
protective equipment, and there are no
persons nearby.
Attaching Air Hose and Tools
Air Hose and Tool Use
Pressure control related devices.
Never remove,
adjust, bypass, change, modify or make
substitutions for safety/relief valves, pressure
switches or other pressure control related devices.
Over-pressurization of the compressor could
result and cause explosion.
1.
Connect air hose to ball valve outlet.
2.
Connect tool to other end of the hose.
3.
Keep fingers off trigger of tool until ready
to use. A tool has power when compressor
has air.
4.
Ensure connections are tight/secure. Firmly
grasp hose in hand when connecting or
disconnecting to prevent hose whip. An
improperly seated coupler can blow off the
machine when started.
This compressor is not equipped with “auto shut
off”. Do not allow to overheat. Failure to allow
adequate ventilation or restrict the air flow may
cause the machine to overheat.
Never use compressor to inflate small low-
pressure objects, i.e., balloons/inflatables, small
or low volume PSI tires. It is easy to over-
pressurize them, causing them to rupture. Use a
gauge to check the pressure regularly. Observe
the inflation capacity of
the object prior to
filling with air.
CAUTION: Incompatable
component hazard
WARNING: Inflatables/Low PSI tire
WARNING: Bursting hazard
Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until
start-up is completed and the unit checks
out OK.
Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of
bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The
outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
