Operation:
. Read safety warnings before performing operation.
NOTE: Unplug all equipment from the power receptacles
before starting the unit.
. Flip the toggle on top of the Pilot valve to the upright position.
This provides a loadless start. The unit will unload and allow
easier engine start-up.
. Start the engine. (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying
this unit.)
4. When the engine has run for 1-2 minutes, flip toggle back
to the original position.
5. Set pressure by adjusting the Pressure Regulator
counterclockwise for less pressure and clockwise for more
pressure.
6. Make sure the unit is grounded. See Grounding
Instructions.
. Loads can now be applied to the unit.
NOTE: This engine is equipped with a “Low Oil” shutdown
system for engine protection. The engine stops when
the oil level gets too low. The engine will not restart
without adding oil.
If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the
unit and refer to "Troubleshooting".
Shutdown:
. Remove all load by turning off electrical appliances and
unplugging electric cords.
. Move the Engine Switch to the "OFF" position. (Refer to
the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.)
. Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an attached
air tool or by pulling on the Safety Relief valve.
4. Once the Air Tank Pressure Gauge registers under 0
pounds, open the drain valve under each air tank to drain
any moisture.

area.
