AIR COMPRESSOR
• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place
the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury
and damage to air compressor.
Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.
• DO NOT tamper with governed speed.
• DO NOT modify air compressor in any way.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service air compressor.
CAUTION

CAUTION
Serious damage may result if operating the unit with
insufficient oil. Check oil level daily or with each use.

explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Turn compressor engine OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes
before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure
in tank.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and
other ignition sources.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
WHEN STARTING EQUIPMENT
• Ensure spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner are in place.
• DO NOT start engine with spark plug removed.
WHEN OPERATING EQUIPMENT
• DO NOT spray flammable liquids, such as fuel or fuel oils.
• This air compressor is not for use in mobile equipment or
marine applications.
• DO NOT tip air compressor at angle which causes fuel to spill.
• Secure air compressor in a stable position, especially when
transporting.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke lever to CHOKE
position.
WHEN TRANSPORTING OR REPAIRING EQUIPMENT
