Initial Set-Up
Step 1. Inspect & Unpack
Upon receipt, inspect air compressor for missing or
damaged parts. Verify that it is the air compressor
you ordered.
See
“Component Identification”
section of this
manual for a diagram of the compressor and its
components.
Step 2. Select Suitable Location
Airflow:
The location should allow for adequate,
unobstructed airflow for cooling and
combustion air.
Do not allow debris to accumulate or
block airflow.
Do not operate with a tarp, blanket, or
cover surrounding the machine.
Do not place any objects against or on top of
the unit.
Exhaust:
WARNING: Exhaust modification
hazard
Outdoor Use Only
Select a suitable outdoor location:
Where it will NOT be exposed to rain, snow,
or direct sunlight.
Where no flammable vapors, dusts, and
gases are present.
At least 7 feet away from combustible materials
At least 20 feet from the home, away from
windows, vents and air intakes, to allow
proper ventilation.
Away from other heat-generating equipment.
Away from dusty/dirty conditions.
Positioning:
The compressor should be mounted on a dry,
firm, and level surface. It must sit level and
be stabilized so it will not slide or shift during
operation.
Situate so there is adequate pulling room for
starting the engine using the recoil starter.
Attempting to pull at an odd angle could rip off
grip cord and/or cause muscular injuries to the
operator.
Place the unit so that the exhaust fumes will not
be directed towards people or building air intakes.
Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby
which is properly charged. Be familiar with its use.
Provide battery-operated or battery back-up type
carbon monoxide alarms in any structure that is
in close proximity to the running compressor.
Do not install in small, enclosed areas without
an ample circulation of supply air.
Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see,
smell, or taste. The CO generated by the engine can
rapidly accumulate, even in areas that appear to be
well ventilated, resulting in dangerous and fatal
concentrations within minutes. NEVER run air
compressor inside any enclosed or semi-enclosed
spaces, including homes, garages, basements,
sheds, boxes, pick-up truck beds, RVs, or boats.
These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you
run a fan or open windows. If you start to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the air compressor, shut
off the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See
a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide hazard
Ideal operating temperatures:
40
and 100
F (4
and 37
C).
Operating Limitations:
15
F (-9
C) or above 125
F (52
C).
If temperatures consistently drop below 32
F (0
C),
store inside a heated building. If this is not possible,
protect the safety/relief and drain valves from freezing.
The compressor is heavy. Ensure that proper
lifting equipment is available to unload and move
compressor to installation site.
WARNING: Lifting hazard
Choose a suitable site for operating your
compressor to prevent possible death from carbon
monoxide poisoning or injury from fire/explosion,
hot surfaces or equipment tip-over.
Never attempt to attach ductwork to the muffler
system to allow for installation inside an enclosure.
This could cause heat build-up and increased
exhaust back- pressure, resulting in possible
exhaust leakage or damage to the compressor.
