NOTE: Do not allow the recoil starter to snap back after
starting; return it gently to its original place.
NOTE: If the engine fails to start, wait several minutes
then repeat the above steps as needed.
Allow the engine to run for 30 seconds, then move the
choke lever to the RUN position.
NOTE: Once the air compressor is started, pressure
inside the air tank will build until the compressor reaches
145 psi. After reaching maximum tank pressure the
engine will idle allowing the pressure inside the air tank to
decrease until it reaches a preset level. When the pressure
falls below the preset level, the engine will accelerate and
provide additional air pressure.
To stop the engine:
Put the on/stop switch in the OFF position.
WARNING:
The pump exhaust tube will become hot during
use. Avoid contact with the pump exhaust tube
when stopping the engine.
Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
WARNING:
Never exceed the air tool’s pressure rating as
recommended by the manufacturer. When using
this air compressor as an inflation device, always
follow the maximum inflation guidelines stated by
the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
WARNING:
Always ensure the on/stop switch is in the OFF (O)
position and the outlet pressure gauge reads zero
before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose
from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 15 - 16, page 21.
Check all fluids (oil and gas).
Turn off the air compressor.
If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as
previously instructed.

do not use the air compressor until the safety valve
has been replaced. Use of the air compressor in
this condition could result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING EXHAUST PORT AND MUFFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port and/or muffler may become blocked with
carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your gas
powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to
restore performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians perform this service.
