NOTE: When references are made to gasoline engine
operations, refer to the engine manual for proper
procedure.
1.
Before starting the compressor for the first time, ensure
proper oil level in the gasoline engine crankcase.
WARNING: Risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison. DO NOT
operate in an enclosed area. DO NOT mount or
operate in an enclosed vehicle, such as a van.
2.
Check the level of oil in the pump with the dipstick. The
pump oil level must be at the full mark of the dipstick
(see A and B). Do not overfill or underfill.
3.
Fill the tank of the gasoline engine with unleaded gasoline.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE.
4.
Move the unloader lever to the manual (vertical) start
position (see D).
5.
Open the petcock(s) on the bottom of the tank(s) (see E).
NOTE: There are two petcocks on twin tank models.
NOTE: If the unit does not operate properly, SHUT DOWN
IMMEDIATELY, and contact your nearest Service
Center or call the factory’s Customer Service
Department. DO NOT return the unit to the store
where it was purchased.
6.
Start the gasoline engine according to the instructions in
the engine manual. Move the unloader lever to the run
(horizontal) position (see C). Run the compressor for
about 30 minutes to break in the internal parts.
7.
Shut off the gasoline engine. Close the petcock(s).
Connect your air hose to the tank outlet. Check that all
connections are tight. A small leak in any of the hoses,
transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor.
