OPERATING YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR

A) ENGINE GAS DRIVEN (continous run only)

1) Check entire unit for any damage.
2) Check compressor and engine oil level, fill or add if necessary.
3) Make sure gas tank is filled.
4) Read entire engine manual.
5) Starting the engine.

a) Move fuel lever to the "On" position.

- If engine is cold, move choke lever to the "Closed" position
- If engine is warm, leave choke lever in "Open" position

b) Turn engine switch to "On" position.
c) Pull starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly,

return starter grip gently - engine should start, if not repeat.

d) Once the engine starts running, slowly move the choke lever

to the "Open" position.

e) With the engine running properly, the compressor fills the air

receiver with compressed air, when maximum pressure (set by the
pilot valve control) is reached, the engine and compressor will slow
down to idle speed, and will return to full RPM when the cut-in
pressure is reached. The unit will continue to cycle automatically
until turned off.

6) Stopping the engine.

a) Turn engine switch to the "Off" position.
