9.  When the Gas Engine is started and running, the 

compressor Pump starts compressing air into the Air 

Tank. Open the in-line Shutoff Valve and adjust the 

Pressure Regulator (sold separately) so that the air 

output is enough to properly power the tool, but the 

output will not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure 

at any time.  Turn the knob clockwise to increase the 

pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.  

Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking 

the air output gauge to set the pressure.

IMpORTANT:

  Allow the engine to run for five minutes with no load 

after each start-up so that the engine can stabilize.

Maintenance Break-in period:

Breaking-in the engine will help to ensure proper equipment and engine operation. 

The 

maintenance

  break-in period will last about 20 hours of use.  After this period, change the engine oil.

Under normal operating conditions, subsequent maintenance follows the schedule 

explained in the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING section.

Note: 

When maximum tank pressure is reached, the compressor automatically disengages, and the engine 

RPM drops down to idle speed. The engine remains at idle until Air Tank pressure falls to a preset level. 

The Gas Engine will then accelerate and air pressure once again begins to build up in the Air Tank.

Note: 

As long as the engine is running, the operation of the Air Compressor 

is automatic, controlled by an internal pressure switch.

IMpORTANT:

 The internal pressure switch is not user adjustable; 

do not make changes to the 

air pressure settings of the internal pressure switch.  

Any change to the automatic pressure 

levels may cause excess pressure to accumulate, causing a hazardous situation.

Note: Depressurization - 

If it is necessary to quickly 

depressurize

 the Compressor, turn OFF the engine.  

Then, pull on the ring on the tank Safety Valve to release stored air pressure.

10. Use the air tool as needed.

11.  After the job is complete, turn OFF the engine. 

To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the Engine Switch off. 

 

Under normal conditions, use the following procedure:
a.  Turn the Engine Switch off.
b.  Close the Fuel Valve.
