Inspecting Pump Oil Level
Use these steps to inspect oil level:
1.
Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF position
(see Figure 9 earlier).
2.
Move Fuel Shutoff Valve lever to OFF position
(see Figure 8 earlier).
3.
Place unit on a flat, level surface.
4.
Carefully observe sight glass and verify that oil level is at
proper level. (see Figure 15).
5.
If pump oil level is too low, add recommended oil to
proper level (see Figure 15). If oil is above MAXIMUM
Oil Level, drain excess oil, as described in CHANGING
PUMP OIL on page 19.
Inspect Engine Air Cleaner
Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you
operate it with a dirty air cleaner.
Replace the air cleaner every 25 hours of operation or once
each year, whichever comes first. Replace filter cartridge
more often if operating under dirty or dusty conditions.
To service the air cleaner, follow these steps:
1.
Loosen and remove the screw.Tip the cover toward you
and lift the tabs out of the slots. (see Figure 16).
2.
Carefully lift filter cartridge assembly off the base.
3.
Install clean (or new) air cleaner filter cartridge in base. If
equipped with pre-cleaner, install with arrows up and lip
of pre-cleaner at bottom of cartridge pleats.
4.
Install tabs on cover into slots in base and tip cover into
position.
5.
Insert the screw and tighten.
Changing Engine Oil
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Change oil
every 50 hours thereafter. If you are using your air
compressor under extremely dirty or dusty conditions, or in
extremely hot weather, change the oil more often.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN
USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm from running, as
follows:
1.
Make sure unit is on a level surface.
2.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and
place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.
