• When the unloader valve has been replaced.
• When the compressor pump has been replaced.
the procedure:
1. Follow
Pre-start Checklist under
Preparation for Use
.
2. Rotate the unloader's manual lock to the
open position to
prevent air tank pressure buildup.
3. Open the pressure regulator. Pull regulator knob (F) out and rotate
clockwise until it stops.
4. Prepare engine for first time use, see engine's instruction manual
for correct procedure.
5. Place the fuel valve lever (O) in the ON postion.
6. If the engine is cold, move the

OFF switch (C) to the RUN
position.
b.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Pull starter grip slowly
until resistance is felt. Then pull starter grip (P) rapidly to avoid
kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
note: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it gently

pack (Q) and plug battery power
pack into battery receptacle. Close
battery cover over battery and lock

note: Make sure your
battery pack is fully charged. See
Charger Procedure for charging
procedure.
b. Place engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) in the START
position and hold until the engine starts.
note: Do not hold the switch in the START position for more than 5
seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before retry-
ing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the
starter motor due to overheating.
c. When the engine starts, release the engine switch allowing it
to return to the RUN position.

the engine is running.
note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, check the oil level and add oil as
needed.
note: To ensure maximum oil lubrication, place the unit on a level
surface.
8. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the OPEN position.
9. Run the air compressor for
30 minutes to seat the rings and
lubricate all the internal surfaces. Ensure there is no pressure
build up in the air tank by observing the reading on the air tank
pressure gauge.
10. Rotate the manual lock on the unloader valve into the
closed
position so the air tank pressure can build.
