OPERATING PROCEDURES
Start-up
(refer to Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruc-

NOTE: To ensure maximum oil lubrication, operate the unit on a
level surface.
6. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the OPEN position.
7. Rotate manual lock unloader lever to the closed position to allow
air tank pressure to build. NOTE: Pump will not operate with the
manual lock unloader lever in the open position.
8. Allow compressor to pump up to blow off pressure.
NOTE: If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the
compressor and refer to the troubleshooting section.
NOTE: The air compressor pump is capable of running continuously.
To prolong the air compressor's life, it is recommended to run at high
throttle 50-75% of the run time and idle for 25% of the run time.
9. Attach hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or
worn accessories.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the
unit may contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray
un fil tered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some
