ENGINE OPERATION SERVICE
1. Clean and oil air filter pad on gasoline engine every 25 hours or once weekly. Do not
permit the air intake screen around the fly wheel of the gas engine to load up with paint
or trash. Clean it regularly. The service life and efficiency of the gas engine model
depends upon keeping the gasoline engine running properly. Change the oil in the
engine every 100 hours. Failure to observe this may result in engine overheating.
Consult the engine manufacturer’s service manual provided.
2. To conserve fuel, service life, and efficiency of the unit, always operate the gasoline
engine at the lowest RPM at which it runs smoothly without labouring and delivers the
amount required for the particular painting operation. Higher RPM does not produce
higher working pressure. The gasoline engine is connected to the hydraulic pump by a
pulley combination designed to produce full paint delivery of 1.2 GPM at maximum
RPM.
3. The warranty on gasoline engines or electric motors is limited to the original
manufacturer.
