(9) DIPSTICK Prior to daily operation, make a habit of checking the oil level of the compressor pump and engine (if compressor is gas powered).
Every direct-drive hand-carry air compressor has a dipstick to help check and maintain the proper oil level. The dipstick also functions as a crankcase
vent. Never operate a direct-drive unit without the factory-supplied dipstick.
(10) PILOT-UNLOADER VALVE A pilot-unloader valve is used on all gas-powered units and can be used on electric air compressors to operate in a
continuous manner. When the storage tank reaches the top pressure setting of the pilot valve, the air being compressed is discharged to
atmosphere instead of into the storage tank. When the tank pressure drops to the low pressure setting of the pilot valve, the compressed air will
be redirected to the air tank. Do not attempt to replace the pilot valve without first draining the tank pressure completely. See Figure 3 for
adjustment and fine-tuning instructions. Do not adjust above the following factory recommendations.
(11) AUTOMATIC-IDLE CONTROL Every ROLAIR gas-powered air compressor is built with an engine idle control kit that automatically decreases
the engine speed when the top end pressure setting of the pilot unloader valve is reached. The top RPM setting of the engine is factory set for
maximum performance and service life. Do not alter the factory top RPM setting. The engine idle speed is factory set and controlled by a black
plastic Philips head screw on the carburetor. A slight increase to the idle speed setting may be required when operating in colder temperatures.
Turn screw clockwise in 1/4 turn increments to increase the idle speed. If the idle speed setting is too low, premature fouling of spark plug will
occur.
(12) ENGINE KILL SWITCH A kill switch is installed to easily stop the engine. Do not attempt to move the throttle lever (as described in the Honda
owner's manual) when stopping the engine. The engine throttle lever is factory set and locked down at a top RPM setting that will provide maximum
performance and service life for the complete air compressor system. The kill switch must be moved to the "On" position prior to pulling the recoil
rope assembly to start the engine.
(13) ENGINE CHOKE Moving the choke lever completely to the left (closed position) will help start a cold engine. Also see instructions for cold-start
valve (Item #4). After start up, the choke lever must be moved completely to the right (open position) for the engine to operate properly. Fouling
of spark plug and excessive internal carbon build up will occur if engine is operated with choke lever even partially closed.

(14) FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
he fuel shut-off valve should only be moved to the "Open" position (completely to the right) when the engine is being
operated. Always stop the flow of fuel by moving the shut-off valve completely to the left when the engine is not being operated. Do not move or
transport the air compressor with the fuel valve in the open position.
Read the owner's manual thoroughly. Make sure that you completely understand all of the safety warnings, system
controls and instructions provided before attempting to operate this air compressor. Every effort has been made to provide you
with the information needed to obtain many years of reliable and trouble-free service out of your new air compressor. It is your
responsibility to operate the air compressor properly. To obtain the longest possible service life from your air compressor you must
always keep the following instructions in mind.
1. ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A LEVEL POSITION
All splash-lubricated pumps have a dipper on the bottom of the connecting rod that must remain submerged in the oil bath.
Operation at more than a 10 degree angle will cause the pump to seize and void the product warranty
2. OPERATE IN A CLEAN, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED AREA
Allow at least 18" behind the belt guard for proper cooling of pump from flywheel blast. Do not operate in the rain or in areas
of standing water. Never operate in an area where other gases, fumes or vapors are present which may become explosive
when compressed. Do not operate compressor in an enclosed area.
3. CHECK OIL LEVEL DAILY AND CHANGE AT REGULAR INTERVALS
Refer to the maintenance section of this owner's manual for the correct type/weight of oil to use and how often the oil should
be changed. Check oil levels daily.
4. INSPECT/CLEAN/CHANGE INTAKE ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS
The ingestion of dirt into the pump and engine is the primary cause of premature wear. Pay special attention to the intake
filters. Check intake filters daily.
5. CHECK TENSION OF BOLTS AND HARDWARE ON A REGULAR BASIS
Operation of any equipment with loose bolts and/or fittings will lead to excessive vibration
and the premature failure of the compressor system control components.
