16. NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE OR
OPERATING ABNORMALLY
If the compressor appears to be operating unusually, making
strange noises, or otherwise appears defective, stop using it
immediately and arrange for repairs by a authorized service
center.
17. DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT
Solvents such as thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, and
alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe
them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly
GB
dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
18. USE ONLY GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts not original may void your warranty and
can lead to malfunction and resulting injuries. Genuine parts
are available from your dealer.
19. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR
Do not modify the compressor. Always contact the
authorized service center any repairs. Unauthorized
modification may not only impair the compressor
performance but may also result in accident or injury to repair
personnel who do not have the required knowledge and
technical expertise to perform the repair operations correctly.
20. TURN OFF THE SWITCH WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS
NOT USED
When the compressor is not used, turn off switch and open
the drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the air
tank.
21. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads,
cylinder and muffler. Never allow any part of your body or
other materials to contact with any exposed metal parts on
this compressor. Never allow any part of your body to contact
the muffler or adjacent areas. These areas can remain hot
for least 45 minutes after this compressor is shutdown. Cool
down before servicing.
22. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY
Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
23. DRAIN TANK
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a
risk of air tank rupture. Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of
use. The drain contains moisture in the air, abrasion
particles, rust, etc. To drain tank open valve slowly and tilt
compressor to empty accumulated water. Keep face and
eyes away from drain cock.
24. MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR OUTLET PRESSURE IS
SET LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM OPERATING
PRESSURE OF THE TOOL.
Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting.
Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
25. THE SAFETY VALVE MUST WORK PROPERLY.
Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor pull the ring
on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely. If
the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization
may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
26. SEE TO IT THAT FUEL IS SUPPLIED APPROPRIATELY.
Follow all fueling instructions in operator’s manual. Gasoline
is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode. Do
not refuel tank while this compressor is running or hot. Never
smoke near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks
away. Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Do
not fill fuel tank to point of overflowing. Always refuel slowly
to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause a fire.
Do not operate this compressor if gasoline is spilled. Wipe
this compressor clean and move it away from the spill. Avoid
creating any ignition until the gosoline has evaporated. Allow
approximately 1/4” of tank space for fuel expansion. Always
store fuel away from this compressor while it is running or
hot. Always store gasoline in an approved container.
27. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TRIP OVER OR DROP THE
COMPRESSOR DURING TRANSPORT.
Exercise utmost caution when you carry this compressor. If
you trip over something and drop it, there is a fear that
unexpected injury may result. If you drop this compressor or
bump it against any objects, air tank or any component parts
can cause serious deformation, damage, severe scratches
and breakdown on this compressor. If operated under such
conditions, it can result in any accidents or bodily injuries by
explosion of the air tank or explosion of those damaged
component parts. Furthermore, gasoline which spilled out by
those damages, may have a great risk of a fire. When there
is any deformation and damage on the handle, it may drop
during transport, resulting in an accident of injury. Before
carrying this compressor, switch off the engine and discharge
the drain inside the air tank. Be cautious enough to make
sure that there are no obstacles, inflammable articles, and
unauthorized people around this compressor.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Repairs should be conducted only by authorized service center.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
The information contained in this Instruction Manual is
designed to assist you in the safe operation and maintenance of
the compressor. Some illustrations in this Instruction Manual may
show details or attachments that differ from those on your own
compressor.
INSTALLATION
Remove the compressor from its packing (fig.1), makes sure it is
in perfect condition, checking if it was damaged during transport,
and carry out the following operations. Fit the wheels and rubber
tab on the tanks on which they are not already fitted, observing
the instructions in fig.1. In case of infiatable wheels, the
maximum inflation pressure must be of 1,6 bar (24 psi). Position
the compressor on a flat surface or with a maximum permissible
inclination of 10
°
, in a well aired place, protected against
atmospheric agents and not in a place subject to explosion
hazard. To ensure good ventilation and efficient cooling, the
compressor’s belt guard must be at least 100 cm from any wall
(fig. 2).
Do not place this compressor in an area:
- where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
- where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.
- where air temperatures fall below 0°C or exceed 35°C.
- where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into this
compressor.
USE INSTRUCTIONS
– Take care to transport the compressor correctly, do not
overturn it or lift it with hooks or ropes.
Replace the plastic plug on the guard cover with the oil level stick
or with the relevant breather plug, supplied with the instructions
booklet. Check oil level, consulting the reference marks on the
stick or the oil level inspection window (fig. 3-4).
For S13 – 15/20 engine-driven compressors, unscrew the cap on
the side of the casing and check thet the oil is at the level of the
spout.
Gasoline engine
WARNING: Do not allow the engine or muffler to come in
contact with flammable vapors, combustible
dust, gases or other combustible materials. A
spark may cause a fire. Do not place this
compressor in an area where flammable gas
vapors may be present.
