Quality Air Compressor Oil 

 
 

 
3. 

The warranty on the motor will be NULL and VOID if a failure occurs and 
inspection proves a current deficiency.  

 
4. The PRESSURE SWITCH and/or pilot unloader valve are set at factory for 

maximum efficiency.   DO NOT alter setting.  Adjusting either will VOID 
the warranty. 

 
5. 

Engine RMP’s (High – Low Settings) are factory set for maximum 
efficiency.  Adjusting RPM’s above factory specifications voids warranty. 

 
6. ALWAYS shut off the engine’s fuel line before transporting a gas 

powered air compressor. If left open, gas will seep past the needle/seat 
in carburetor, mix with the oil in the engine’s crankcase, and foul out 
the spark plug.  Replacement of spark plug and oil change will not be 
covered under warranty. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Refer to the enclosed engine owner’s manual for 
additional operating information
