BREAK-IN OF THE PUMP

NOTE: When references are made to gasoline engine
operations, refer to the engine manual for proper
procedure.
1. Before starting the compressor for the first time, ensure
proper oil level in the gasoline engine crankcase.
WARNING:
poisoning. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison. DO
NOT operate in an enclosed area. DO NOT mount
or operate in an enclosed vehicle, such as a van.
2. Fill the tank of the gasoline engine with unleaded gasoline.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.
3. Move the unloader lever to the manual start position (see A).
4. Open the petcocks on the bottom of the tanks (see B).
NOTE: There are two petcocks on twin tank models.
CAUTION:
propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear safety
goggles when opening petcock.
5. Start the gasoline engine according to the instructions in
the engine manual. Move the unloader lever to the run
position (see C). Run the compressor for about 30 minutes to
break in the internal parts.
NOTE: If the unit does not operate properly, SHUT DOWN
IMMEDIATELY, and contact your nearest Service
Center or call the factory's Customer Service
Department. DO NOT return the unit to the store
where it was purchased.
Shut off the gasoline engine. Close the petcock (see B).
6.
Connect your air hose to the tank outlet. Check that all
connections are tight. A small leak in any of the hoses,
transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially reduce
the performance of your air compressor.

DAILY START-UP

1. Check the oil level in the gasoline engine crankcase. Add
oil as necessary. See instructions in the engine manual.
2. Fill the tank of the gasoline engine with unleaded gasoline.
3. Move the unloader lever to the start position (see A).
4. Close the petcocks on the bottom of the tanks. (see B).
NOTE: There are two petcocks on twin tank models.
5. Start the gasoline engine according to the instructions in
the engine manual. Run the engine for about one minute
to warm up the pump, then move the unloader lever to the
run position (see C). The pump will begin to fill
the tank with air.
WARNING:
the gasoline engine, transfer tube, and the pump. To
prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch these
items while the engine is running. Allow them to
cool before handling or servicing. Keep children
away from the compressor at all times.

IMMEDIATELY, and contact your nearest Service
Center or call the factory's Customer Service
Department. DO NOT return the unit to the store
where it was purchased.

REPEATED STARTUPS

Move the unloader lever to the start position (see A), to
relieve pressure in the pump and lines. It is important to do this
because if air remains trapped in the pump, it creates a blockage
that makes restarting the compressor difficult or impossible.
SHUTDOWN
1. Shut off the gasoline engine.
2. Reduce pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. You
can also pull the relief valve ring (see D) and keep it open to
relieve pressure in the tank.
CAUTION:
propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear
safety goggles when opening petcock.
3. Wear protective eyewear and open the petcocks (see B)
at the bottom of the tanks to allow moisture to drain from
the tanks.
NOTE: There are two petcocks on twin tank models.
