Operation
All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some condensed water and oil with the
compressed air. Install appropriate water/oil removal equipment and controls as
necessary for the intended application.
Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.
GUARDING
The belt guard provided must be installed before operating
the unit.
All moving parts must be guarded. All electrical covers must be installed
before turning on the power.
RECOMMENDED BREAK-IN PERIOD
The compressor should be run unloaded for 30 minutes to allow proper seating of the
piston rings.
1. Set control valve to unloaded position (see Figure 7)
2. Run the compressor for 30 minutes.
3. Turn off the compressor. It is now ready for use.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
1. Check oil level in the compressor pump. It must be filled to the center of the sight
glass.
2. Check engine oil level. Refer to engine manual.
3. Fill engine fuel tank with unleaded gasoline with octane of 86 or higher.
STARTING
1. Set control valve to unload position (see Figure 7)
2. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
3. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED position. Note-the choke may not be needed if
the engine is already warm.
4. Turn the engine key switch to the START position and hold until the engine starts.
5. The engine is also equipped with recoil starter as an alternate method of starting.
Turn the key switch to the ON position. Pull start cord lightly until resistance is felt,
then pull briskly.
6. As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the open position.
7. Move the control valve lever to the load position (see Figure 7). The compressor is
now ready for use.
OPERATING CONTROLS
1. The compressor is equipped with engine throttle cable that is connected to the
control valve. There is no need to manually operate the engine throttle.
2. The control valve is factory set to load at 145 psi. When the pressure in the air
tank is below 145 psi, the engine will run at full throttle and the tank will fill with
compressed air.
3. When the tank pressure reaches 175 psi, the control valve will open and
automatically throttle down the engine to idle speed. The engine and compressor
pump will continue to run but the air will be discharged through the breather in the
control valve.
