6. MAINTAIN RUBBER VIBRATION PADS
Excessive vibration is a major cause of premature compressor failure. Always maintain the rubber vibration pads located
beneath tank assembly. Operation without them will void your warranty.
7. DRAIN MOISTURE FROM AIR TANKS DAILY
Water is a natural byproduct of compressed air. Drain air tank(s) after each use to combat internal tank corrosion. Keep drain
valve(s) closed if storing compressor for any length of time.
8. DO NOT ALTER FACTORY RPM SETTINGS ON GAS-POWERED COMPRESSORS. Engine throttle arm is factory set and locked into
position at RPMs that will provide maximum performance, fuel consumption and service life. Alterations to this setting will
void your warranty.

WARNING
Your safety and the wellbeing of others during the operation of every
not operate or permit anyone else to operate your air compressor until the information contained in this manual is read and
completely understood. Please contact your distributor or our customer service department if you have any questions on the proper
use of your air compressor.
WET CONDITIONS: Do not operate your compressor in damp or wet conditions, or after it has been exposed to rain/sleet/ice/snow
or moisture of any kind. Failure to follow this warning could lead to electric shock and/or rust and ice forming on critical
components, making the compressor dangerous to operate. Always operate and/or store compressor in a clean, dry location with
good ventilation.
GAS POWERED
Refer to item numbers 11, 12, 13 and 14 in the "System Controls" section of this manual for information on the engine
automatic idle control, kill switch, choke and fuel shut-off valve. Also note the engine throttle arm is locked into a top RPM setting
that will provide maximum service life and does not need to be moved to start or stop the machine. Additional instructions can be
found in the engine owner's manual. Use the drain valve located on the pump aftercooler or intercooler for cold-starting purposes.
Take additional care to keep dirt/debris from entering the fuel tank or obstructing the air flow through the engine or past the pump.
Make sure the air flow to the regulator is completely closed (gauge attached reads 0 PSI) before attaching air hose and accessory. A
slight hissing noise caused by the air flow being directed to atmosphere during engine idle is normal. Store compressor in a warm/dry
location and perform maintenance as indicated in your manuals.
