    Air Compressor Major Components and Controls Diagram Below are diagrams of your air compressor’s major components and controls: 1. Engine: NOT shipped with oil. Refer to 8. Regulator: Adjusts outlet pressure, not engine Owner’s Manual for proper oil and to exceed pressure rating of attachment capacity.

  • Page 15: Engine Controls

    Engine Controls Fuel Shut Off The fuel shut off valve opens and closes the connection between the fuel tank and the carburetor. The fuel shut off valve lever must be in the ON position for the engine to run. When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF position to prevent flooding and to reduce the possibility of fuel leaks.
  • Page 16 For Outdoor Use ONLY Select a suitable outdoor location: • Where it will NOT be exposed to rain, snow, or direct sunlight. • Where no flammable vapors, dust, and gases are present. • At least 7 feet away from combustible materials. •...
  • Page 17 • Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not be directed towards people or building air intakes. • Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby which is properly charged. Be familiar with its use. • Provide battery-operated or battery back-up type carbon monoxide alarms in a structure that is in close proximity to the running compressor.

  • Page 18: Pre-Operation Check

    Pre-operation check Are you ready to get started? Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will significantly reduce your risk of injury. Knowledge Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to operate them. Familiarize yourself with the air compressor and its operation before you begin using it.

  • Page 19: Is Your Air Compressor Read To Go

    Respirator Always wear a respirator when spraying and spray in a well-ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards. Is your Air Compressor read to go? For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very important to take a few moments before you operate the air compressor to check its condition.
  • Page 20 Check/Add Oil to Engine and Pump Check the oil levels in the engine and pump. Use dipstick for engine oil level and sight glass for pump oil level. Add oil as needed. A low oil shutdown feature prevents the engine from starting without sufficient oil.

  • Page 21: Fuel And Oil Requirements

    Check the Engine • Check the oil level (see engine manual). To avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown by the Oil Sentry system, always check the engine oil level before startup. • Check the air filter (see engine manual). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine and Air Compressor performance.

  • Page 22: Monitoring The Fuel Level

    Monitoring the fuel level DO NOT OVERFILL FUEL TANK When adding fuel, turn the air compressor engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing the gas cap. Make sure the engine is cool before proceeding. After the engine is cool, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level.

  • Page 23: Using Caution When Refueling The Tank

    WARNING: Hot Engine Hazard A running engine is hot enough to ignite fuel. Never add fuel or remove gas cap if engine is running or still hot. Let cool more than 2 minutes or longer until engine is cool before opening gas cap. Using caution when refueling the tank Fuel Outdoors: Fill fuel tank outdoors –...

  • Page 24: Operation

    Operation Air Compressor Placement For Outdoor Use ONLY DANGER: Carbon Monoxide Hazard Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see, smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can rapidly accumulate, even in areas that appear to be well ventilated, resulting in dangerous and fatal concentrations within minutes.
  • Page 25 Starting engine. (See the engine owner’s manual for more details.) Turn the fuel shut-off valve (A) to the ON position. See Figure 6. For a Cold Engine – Place the throttle control (A) midway between the SLOW and FAST positions. See Figure 7. Place the choke control (A) into the ON position.

  • Page 26: Air Hose And Tool Use

    WARNING: Overheating This compressor is not equipped with “auto shut off”. Do not allow to overheat. Failure to allow adequate ventilation or restrict air flow may cause the machine to overheat. WARNING: Inflatables/Low PSI tire Never use compressor to inflate small low-pressure objects, i.e. balloons/inflatables, small or low volume PSI tires.

  • Page 27: Attaching Air Hose And Tools

    CAUTION: Incompatible Component Hazard Do not operate this unit with any components rated less than the maximum operating pressure of the unit unless a regulator limiting pressure is used. • When using high-pressure tools, make sure the tool is properly coupled, user is wearing protective equipment, and there are no persons nearby.

  • Page 28: Shutdown Procedures

    Moisture in Compressed Air: Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it leaves air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint sprayer or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.

    To align belt, lay a straight edge against the face of the flywheel touching the rim at two places. (See Figure 9 to the right) Adjust flywheel or engine pulley so that the belt runs parallel to the straight edge. If necessary, loosen set screw and use a gear puller to move the pulley on the motor shaft.

  • Page 35: Between-Use Storage

    Storing and transporting your air compressor Keep your air compressor upright at all times. Never lay your air compressor on its side while moving, storing, or using it. Oil could leak and damage your air compressor’s engine and surrounding areas. Between-Use Storage Allow to cool: Your air compressor can get very hot when in use.

  • Page 36: Draining The Tank

    Carefully select storage area: While in storage, your air compressor needs to be free of dust and not exposed to high-humidity conditions. Select a clean and dry area that is away from sources of heat, open flames, sparks, or pilot lights, even if gas tank is empty. Residual gasoline could ignite. Select area that is away from extreme high and low temperatures.
