13. Engine Kill Switch
A kill switch is installed to easily stop the engine. Do not attempt to move the throttle lever
(as described in the Honda owner's manual) when stopping the engine. The engine throttle
lever is factory set and locked down at a top RPM setting that will provide maximum
performance and service life for the complete air compressor system. The kill switch must
be moved to the ON position prior to pulling the recoil rope assembly to start the engine.
14. Engine Choke
Moving the choke lever completely to the left (closed position) will help start a cold engine
(See 10. Cold-Start Valve). After start up, the choke lever must be moved completely to the
right (open position) for the engine to operate properly. Fouling of the spark plug and
excessive internal carbon build up will occur if the engine is operated with the choke lever
even partially closed.
15. Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve should only be moved to the OPEN position (completely to the
right) when the engine is being operated. Always stop the flow of fuel by moving the shut-
off valve completely to the left when the engine is not being operated. Do not move or
transport the air compressor with the fuel valve in the open position.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Dashed numbers in parenthesis (Fig. 1-1) refer to a specific point in an illustration or image.
LOCATION
WARNING! Under no circumstances should the air compressor be installed in an area that
may be exposed to a dirty, corrosive atmosphere, toxic vapors or volatile fumes. Do not store
toxic, volatile or corrosive agents near the compressor.
•
Locate the compressor in a cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated area with a temperature
range between 35° and 105° F (1° to 40.5° C).
•
The intake filter may be remotely located. Enlarge size of intake piping by 1/4 in. in size for
each 10 ft of length.
•
Install so that the flywheel/belt guard is at least 18 in. from an adjacent wall. Allow space on
all sides for air circulation and ease of maintenance.
•
Make sure the compressor tank is mounted level on a solid foundation using vibration
dampening pads made of felt/rubber. If vibration pads cannot be located, the skid on which
the compressor is shipped may be left on and used as a mounting base. Solid shims may be
used to level unit before bolting or lagging unit to prevent movement.
NOTICE! When hard-mounting a gas-powered air compressor on a trailer or a truck bed,
leave one of the four mounting bolts looser than the others (slightly beyond hand-tight) to
help minimize vibration and improve the overall performance and life of the unit.
PIPING FIT-UP
WARNING! Never join pipes or fittings with lead-tin soldering. Lead is a toxic substance that
can cause short and long term symptoms after exposure and may result death at high-levels
of exposure. Use non–lead alternatives to join pipes.
NOTICE! Never use PVC or plastic pipe as they are not designed for the pressures and
temperatures generated by the compressor. Use welded or threaded steel pipes and cast-
iron fittings.
Always position air compressor to avoid an excessive amount of tension between the external
airlines and connection at the air tank. The piping should be lined up without having to spring
or twist it into position. Adequate expansion loops or bends should be installed to prevent
