- Use of clean, fresh, lead free gasoline should be used. Do
not use gasoline containing methanol or alcohol.
- Check the engine oil level before starting (See engine
manual).
- Fill the fuel tank according to the engine manual instructions.
WARNING: Follow all fueling instructions in operator's
manual. Gasoline is extremely flammable, and
gasoline vapor can explode. Do not refuel fuel
tank while this compressor is running or hot.
Never smoke near gasoline, and keep other
flames
and
compressor and engine to cool down before
refueling. Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Do not fill fuel tank to point of
overflowing. Always refuel slowly to avoid the
possibility of spilled fuel which may cause a
fire. Do not operate this compressor if gasoline
is spilled. Wipe this compressor clean and
move it away from the spill. Avoid creating any
ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
Allow approximately 1/4" of tank space for fuel
expansion. Always store fuel away from this
compressor while it is running or hot. Always
store gasoline in an approved container.

Refer to the engine manual for all necessary maintenance
and adjustments.
WARNING: Do not operate this compressor in an enclosed
area. Use this compressor only in well
ventilated areas. The exhaust from the engine
contains
carbon
odorless and invisible gas. Breathing the gas
can cause serious injury, illness and possible
death. Avoid inhalation of exhaust gas. Never
run the engine in a closed garage or confined
area.
Ensure the oil level in this compressor pump is adequate. If the
oil level is low, replenish oil through the filling hole so that the
amount of oil will come to the middle of the oil sight glass
according to the following OIL TYPE CHART.

Pre-start checklist
a. Oil level should be checked on a daily basis to ensure it
does not exceed the maximum notch or does not fall below
the minimum notch on the oil sight glass. If the oil level is
low, replenish oil through the filling hole so that the amount
of oil will come to a point between the maximum notch and
the minimum notch of the oil sight glass according to the
OIL TYPE CHART.
CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not overfill.
b. Remove any moisture in this compressor air tank.
Gradually open the drain cock and discharge the drain.
Close tightly when drained.
c. Make sure the engine switch is in the "OFF" position.
d. Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely
mounted.

b. When the toggle (T) is in the upright position, all air from
this compressor is vented through the discharge muffler
(fig.5).
This gives an easy start feature. For normal operation, the
toggle (T) is in the 90° position.
c. Start engine (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying
this unit).
d. When the engine has run for 1-2 minutes, flip toggle (T)
back to the original position.
The operation of this compressor is automatic and is
controlled by the pilot valve (P) which idles it when the
this
pressure in the air-tank reaches the maximum level and
restarts it when the air pressure drops during use to the
restart level. The pilot valve is preset by the manufacturer
and must not be modified in any way.
WARNING: If you notice any unusual noise or vibration,
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
ADJUSTING OPERATING PRESSURE
You do not have to use the maximum operating pressure at all
times. On the contrary, the pneumatic tool being used often
requires less pressure. On compressors supplied with a
pressure reducer, operating pressure must be correctly
adjusted. Release the pressure reducer knob by pulling it up,
adjust pressure to the required value by turning the knob
clockwise to increase pressure and anti-clockwise to reduce it.
When you have obtained optimum pressure, lock the knob by
pressing it downward (fig. 6).
WARNING:
WARNING: Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure
rating for tools connected to the compressor
and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure
must be regulated so as to never exceed the
maximum pressure rating for tools connected
to the compressor.
Shutdown
a. To stop this compressor, move the engine switch to the
"Off" position (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying
this unit).
b. Gradually open the drain cock, take out the drainage and all
the compressed air inside the tank to prevent any internal
corrosion of the tank (fig.7).
WARNING: Risk of bursting. When the tank gets corroded,
there is a risk of breakdown. Water will condense
in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode
and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank
rupture. Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use.
The drain contains moisture in the air, abrasion
particles, rust, etc. To drain tank open valve slowly
and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
Keep face and eyes away from drain cock.
c. Allow the compressor to cool down
d. Wipe this compressor clean and store in a safe, non-
freezing area.
NOTE: The head/cylinder/delivery tube unit can reach high
temperatures. Take care when working near these
parts, and do not touch them to avoid possible burns
(fig. 8).
WHAT TO DO IF SMALL MALFUNCTIONS OCCUR
Loss of air in check valve
This trouble depends on poor tightness of the check valve –
take the following action (fig. 11):
– Discharge all pressure from the tank
- Unscrew the hexagon-head of the valve (A)
- Carefully clean both the rubber disk (B) and its seat.
- Refit all parts accurately.
stop this compressor.
Some pressure regulators do not have
"push to lock", therefore simply turn the
knob to adjust the pressure.
