SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine
ON/OFF lever or key switch to the OFF position. Un-
der normal conditions, use the following procedures.
1. Allow the tank pressure to build to maximum
and the engine to throttle down to idle speed.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor outfit a routine maintenance schedule
should be prepared and followed. The following rou-
tine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a
normal working environment operating on a daily ba-
sis. If necessary , the schedule should be modified to
suit the conditions found with your compressor outfit.
The modifications will depend upon the hours of op-
eration and the working environment. Compressor
outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment
will require a greater frequency of all maintenance
checks. The maintenance label mounted on the air
tank also lists the required maintenance checks.
For additional maintenance instructions, recommended
oil and fuel on the gasoline engine, refer to "Gasoline
Engine Owners Manual".
