periods.
From time to time, switch it OFF , then open the
receiver tank' s drain valve to remove any water that
has accumulated.
EQUIPMENT CARE
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease, assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Ask at
you local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. In particular, avoid
knocking the air taps, tank and safety valve.
Keep the equipment clean. You will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
Keep the compressor upright at all times, if the unit
has fallen over or been placed on its side, DO NOT use
it, contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Regularly check the fuel level and be sure to refill
with the correct fuel: unleaded petrol.
Regularly check the oil level and top up if necessary.

oil should be level with the bottom filler hole.
