START-UP:  
1.  Read safety warnings before performing operation.

2.  Flip the toggle on top of the Pilot Valve to the upright position. This provides a 

loadless start.  The air compressor will unload and allow easier engine start-

up. 

3.  Start the engine.  (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.) This 

unit is manufactured with an automatic throttle idle control device which reduces 

engine speed when the compressor is unloaded and returns the engine to full 

speed when the compressor is loaded. The engine's throttle control is automatic 

and the control lever does not need to be moved on this unit.

4.  When  the  engine  has  run  for  1-2  minutes,  flip  toggle  back  to  the  original 

position.

5.  Set  pressure  by  adjusting  the  Pressure  Regulator  counterclockwise  for  less 

pressure and clockwise for more pressure.

6.  If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer 

to "Troubleshooting".

SHUTDOWN:
1.  To stop the air compressor, move the Engine Switch to the "Off" position.  (Refer 

to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.)

2.  Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an attached air tool or by pulling 

on the Pressure Relief Valve.

3.  Once the Air Tank Pressure Gauge registers under 10 pounds, open the drain 

valve under each air tank to drain any moisture.

4.  Allow the air compressor to cool down.  

5.  Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.

Read  the  instruction  manual  before  performing  maintenance.  The  following 

procedures must be performed when stopping the air compressor for maintenance 

or service.

  1.  Turn off air compressor.  

  2.  Disconnect spark plug wire from engine.

  3.  Open all drains.

  4.  Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service.
