This gas saving feature holds the engine at a factory-set idling
speed until air pressure in the air tank drops to reset pressure.
The unloader valve then reactivates the throttle control and
accelerates the engine to full throttle.
LOW OIL SHUT DOWN SENSORS
The air compressor engine is equipped with low oil shutdown
sensors. These are safety devices designed to protect your
engine from damage in the event the oil level in the crankcase is
below minimum.
If the oil in engine gets low while the air compressor is running it
will automatically shut down the engine and will not restart until
oil is added to the engine. If the oil is low before start-up, the
engine will not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The low oil shutdown sensors are very sensitive. You
must fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate
this safety device.
INSTALLATION
Assembly (Fig. 1)
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
3. Assemble hose to air outlet (G).
NOTICE: Do not assemble splitters directly to the air
outlet (G).
NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies to air outlet (G)
and quick connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and
disconnecting hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies
and plugs are available for purchase from your local dealer or
authorized service center.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Remove hose(s) from air outlet(s) (G).
Lubrication and Oil
ENGINE
1. The engine was filled WITH oil at the manufacturer. Check
engine oil level before operating unit. If necessary, fill engine

flammable. Refuel outdoors preferably, or only in well-ventilated
areas. Do not refuel or check gasoline level while the engine is
running. Do not store, spill, or use gasoline near an open flame,
a source of sparks (such as welding), or near operating electrical
equipment.
AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor pump was filled WITH oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump Oil under Maintenance.
