DANGER
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUS-
ING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
Do not smoke while fueling!
Do not fill fuel tank while air
compressor is running or hot. Al-
low air compressor and engine to
cool down for two minutes before
refueling.
Do not fill fuel tank to point of
overflowing. Allow approximately
1/4" of tank space for fuel expan-
sion.
Do not place unit in an area where
flammable gas vapors may be pres-
ent. A spark could cause an explo-
sion or fire.
Always store fuel away from the
air compressor while it is running
or hot.
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUS-
ING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
Do not allow the engine or muffler
to come in contact with flammable
vapors, combustible dust, gases
or other combustible materials. A
spark may cause a fire.
When using the air compressor for
spray painting, place the air com-
pressor as far away from the work
area as possible, using extra air
hoses if needed.
RISK OF ASPHYXIATION!
Do not operate in an enclosed area.
Use this product only in well venti-
lated areas! The exhaust from the
engine contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous, odorless and invisible
gas. Breathing the gas can cause
serious injury, illness and possible
death.
RISK OF BODILY INJURY!
Never attempt to open the Air Tank
Drain Valve when more than 10 PSI
of air pressure is in the air tank!

Pre-Operation
Check oil level. Add if necessary.
Remove any moisture in the air com-
pressor air tank. NEVER attempt to
open the Air Tank Drain Valve when
more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in
the air tank! Remove excessive pres-
sure with an air tool, then open the
Air Tank Drain Valve in the bottom
of the air tank. Close tightly when
drained.
Make sure the Engine Switch is in the
"OFF" position.
Make sure the Pressure Relief Valve is
working correctly.
Operation
Read safety warnings before perform-
ing operation.
Flip the toggle on top of the Pilot
Valve to the upright position. This pro-
vides a loadless start. The air compres-
sor will unload and allow easier engine
start-up.
Start the engine. (Refer to the Engine
Manual accompanying this unit.) This
unit is manufactured with an automat-
ic throttle idle control device which re-
duces engine speed when the compres-
sor is unloaded and returns the engine
to full speed when the compressor is
loaded. The engine's throttle control is
automatic and the control lever does
not need to be moved on this unit.
When the engine has run for 1-2 min-
utes, flip toggle back to the original
position.
Set pressure by adjusting the Pressure
Regulator counterclockwise for less
pressure and clockwise for more pres-
sure.
If you notice any unusual noise or
vibration, stop the air compressor and
refer to "Troubleshooting".
