This symbol points out important safety instructions which
if not followed could endanger the personal safety and/or
property of yourself and others.
Read and understand the information in this owner’s
manual and the engine owner’s manual before operat-
1. The compressor should be located in a dry, clean,and well ventilated area.
2. Inspect before use for signs of damage. Do not use if a deficiency is
found. Contact your nearest service center for replacement parts. Never
operate a damaged unit.
3. Do not tamper with safety valve as it has been factory set. Any adjustment of this valve could cause serious injury.
4. Compressed air must never be aimed at anyone because it can cause
serious injury. Keep children away. WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
5. All air compressors generate heat under normal operating conditions. To
avoid serious burns, never touch the air compressors during or immediately after operation.
6. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
7. Before servicing, cleaning, or removal of any part, stop engine and relieve
air pressure.
8. This system produces 135 PSI. To avoid rupture and injury, do not operate
this compressor with components rated less than 135 PSI working pressure.
9. Keep hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine, and compressors.
10. Do not tamper with the engine speed or air/fuel mixture. These items
have been factory set.
NOTES
If warranty service or repairs are needed, contact your nearest authorized service center. If one does not exist contact the factory. Unauthorized repairs or teardown of the unit will void the factory warranty.

STARTING ENGINE
1. Turn fuel valve to the “ON” position.
2. Flip the engine switch to the “ON” position.
3. Place foot on base, grasp starter handle, and start engine as you would
a lawn mower. Use choke if necessary.
STARTING ENGINE AGAINST PRESSURIZED TANKS
MANUAL UNLOADER VALVE
1. Move to “UNLOAD” position
2. Start engine
3. Return to “PRESSURIZE” position
When STARTING the engine with air pressure in the tanks (i.e. after refueling, etc.), manually unload the compressors by moving the valve to the
“UNLOAD” position, starting the engine, and then moving the valve back to
the “Pressurize” position. This allows the compressors to turn freely (exhaust to atmosphere) without the back pressure of the tanks. To clean vent,
remove the nut containing screen and filter with a 11/16”hex wrench. Hold
under running tap water with nut toward faucet. Shake out excess water and
reinstall.
PRESSURIZE
UNLOAD
OPERATION
The engine will start with the control lever in the “FAST’ position and will
compress air until the tank pressure reaches 135 PSI. When the tank pressure reaches 135 PSI, the unloader valve will automatically actuate the
throttle control causing the engine to run at idle speed, and vent the compressed air to atmosphere. When the tank pressure drops to 115 PSI, the
unloader valve will reactuate the throttle control, causing the engine to run at
high speed, and redirect the compressed air to the tank.
WARNING: Before using air tools or accessories, check manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating. Maximum pressure rating must be above 135
PSIG.
STOPPING
1. Flip the engine switch to the “OFF’ position.
2. Release air from tank.
3. Drain water from both tanks.
4. Turn fuel valve to “OFF” position.
5. Drain excess gas if compressor is to be stored indoors. (see engine owners manual).
WARNING: To avoid risk of tank failure during use, drain tank after each
use or every four (4) operating hours to prevent condensation build up and
corrosion inside tanks. To drain tank, slowly and carefully turn and open
drain fittings, tip unit towards drain, and allow water to drain out.
NOTE: When draining tank, watch for debris (rust particles). If there appears
to be debris in the water, contact your dealer for possible tank replacement.
