2.
Before starting:
•
Clean off any debris from the unit. This will
help prevent material clogging the air filters or
cause overheating by coating the cooling fins.
•
Check the compressor crankcase oil level—the
sight glass should show 1/2 full. Do not overfill.
Use VMAC synthetic oil.
•
Engine crankcase oil level—check with dip-
stick unscrewed. Oil should be visible on dip-
stick.
Use API service classification SJ, SL, or equiv-
alent. 10W-30 is recommended for typical out-
side temperatures.
•
Check the fuel level. Use a non-ethanol type
gasoline to avoid water formation. See the
Honda manual for fuel recommendations.
3.
Make hose connections before starting the com-
pressor.

WARNING
High pressure hazard.
Avoid eye and skin injury. Do not use high pres-
sure air to clean the machine of debris or for
other maintenance.
Use reduced pressure nozzles or other means of
keeping air pressures at or below 30 psi (2 bar).
This is recommended by OSHA (in the U.S.) as
the maximum safe air pressure to use for clean-
ing dust and debris from the machine.
4.
Open the fuel shut-off valve (located on the engine
carburetor).
5.
Close the choke valve (located on the engine carbu-
retor).
6.
Start the engine using the key switch.
7.
After the engine starts, open the choke.
To stop the compressor, close the fuel shut-off valve and
turn the engine key switch to the off position.
Important
Stow the maintenance air compressor against the
machine during grinding operation to prevent
material buildup on top of the air compressor
assembly.
