Moving parts, unexpected engine start-
up and compressed air can cause serious
injury. Always disconnect the spark plug
wire and relieve pressure from the air
tank before performing any of these ser-
vice procedures. Never operate the air
compressor with the belt guard removed.
A clean air compressor runs cooler and provides longer
service. Clean or blow off fins and any other parts of the
air compressor that collect dust or dirt. Do not place rags,
containers or other material on or against the ventilation
openings in the belt guard. Adequate ventilation is nec-
essary to maintain proper air compressor operating tem-
perature.
For any maintenance instructions, recom-
mended oil and fuel for the gasoline en-
gine, refer to "Gasoline Engine Owners
Manual".
