OPERATOR CONTROLS (cont’d)
THROTTLE CONTROL
During normal operation, as maximum tank pressure
is obtained, the unloader exhausts compressed air and
activates the throttle control of the engine. The throttle
control holds the engine at a factory set idling speed
until air pressure in the tank drops to reset or minimum
tank pressure. The unloader then reactivates the throttle
control and accelerates the engine to full throttle.
DAILY STARTUP PROCEDURES
Perform the following checks before starting the
compressor outfit.
The gasoline engine and air compres-
sor pumps on all compressor outfits are
shipped without oil. Do not attempt to
operate for any reason without first add-
ing oil to the engine and compressor
pump crankcase. Serious damage can
result from even very limited operation
unless filled with oil and broken in cor-
rectly. Make sure to closely follow the
initial startup procedures.
NOTE
The compressor outfit should be placed
on a level surface in a dry, clean, well
ventilated, area. Do not place any ma-
terial on or against the belt guard. This
blocks ventilator openings necessary
for proper compressor cooling.
1. Check the engine oil level. Add oil if necessary.
Refer to Engine Owner’s Manual oil specifica-
tions.
2. Check the pump oil level. (See chart below)

ADDITIONAL REGULATORS AND
CONTROLS
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than
that which is needed, a separate regulator is usually
employed to control the air pressure to any individual
air driven device.
3. Ensure that nothing is blocking the belt guard
air openings.
4. Pull the ring on all safety valves to make sure the
valves move freely and smoothly.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
explosive. Refuel in a well ventilated
area with engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks
in the area where the engine is refu-
eled or where gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank and make sure the
filler cap is securely closed after refueling.
Be careful not to spill fuel when refueling.
Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. If
any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is
dry before starting the engine.
5. Check the engine fuel tank level. Add fuel if
necessary.
6. Close the air discharge valve.
7. Set the toggle lever of the unloader valve in
the vertical position to relieve compressor
head pressure.
8. Move the control lever or choke lever to the
CHOKE position.
9. Turn the engine lever or key switch to the
ON position.
If the engine is warm or the air
temperature is high, move the control
lever or choke lever away from the CHOKE
position as soon as the engine starts.
