START-UP (GASOLINE / DIESEL ENGINE
COMPRESSORS)
WARNING
Do not operate gasoline or diesel engine compressors in an
enclosed area.
1) Release any residual tank pressure by slowly opening the
manual drain valve. This is not needed for diesel units with
automatic unloader valves.
2) Turn on the engine fuel supply.
3) Put the choke in the "on" position (Gas engines only).
4) Close the service valve and put the unloader lever in the
"unload" (A) position. This is not needed for diesel units with
automatic unloader valves.
Unloader
5) Start the engine, release the choke, and allow the engine to warm
up for two to three minutes.
6) Return the unloader lever to the "load" (B) position. This is not
needed for diesel units with automatic unloader valves.
NOTICE
Some engine driven compressors require 5-8 break-in hours of
operation before reaching full capacity and speed.
WHEN TRANSPORTING THE COMPRESSOR
- FOR GASOLINE / DIESEL ENGINE UNITS
CAUTION
• When transporting the compressor, shut off the Engine and
turn the fuel shut off valve to the off position. See Figure below.
• If the compressor is permanently mounted on a vehicle, shut
off the Engine and turn the fuel shut off valve to the off position
when the unit is not in use. See Figure below.

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS (GASOLINE / DIESEL ENGINE
COMPRESSORS)
CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL. This type of control applies to gasoline
and diesel engine compressors.
When the receiver tank pressure reaches the factory preset maximum
pressure, the unloader slows down the engine and the compressor
stops pumping. When the receiver tank pressure drops to the factory
preset minimum, the unloader resets, the engine returns to full speed,
and the compressor resumes pumping.
