If you will be using a synthetic lubricant, all
downstream piping material and system
components must be compatible.
Check and Fill Gasoline Tank
Check the gasoline level in the engine’s tank.
Fill tank outdoors with fresh unleaded
gasoline from a portable container.
Never pump fuel directly into engine at gas
station. Static charge can build and ignite fuel.
Use a UL approved fuel container to transfer
gas to the engine.
Always place container on ground to be filled.
Keep nozzle in contact with container while
adding fuel.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
Heat, sparks, and flames can ignite gasoline
vapors, which can become widespread during
fueling. A flash fire and/or explosion could result
and cause serious injury or death. Use extreme
care when handling gasoline. Carefully follow all
the instructions in this section to avoid the
following conditions which could result in
gasoline ignition:
gas vapor collection inside enclosures
static electric sparks
sparks from electric wiring, batteries, or
running engines
sources of heat (such as a hot engine or
exhaust)
open flames, including pilot lights
smoking
WARNING: Fire/Explosion hazard
To Fill Gas Tank:
1.
Before removing fuel cap, make sure
compressor has been off and allowed to cool
for at least 2 minutes.
If gas is spilled on your skin or clothes,
change clothes and wash skin immediately.
6.
Store extra gas in a cool, dry place in a
UL- approved, tightly sealed container.
Inspect Fuel System/Check for Leaks
Inspect fuel system for leaks BEFORE
starting compressor. Look for:
Signs of leaks or deterioration
Chafed or spongy fuel hose
Loose connections
Loose or missing fuel hose clamps
Damaged gasoline tank
Selective gasoline shut-off valve
Do not start compressor until all needed repairs
have been completed.
Start-Up Procedures
WARNING: Hot engine hazard
2.
Remove fuel cap.
3.
Add gas through the fill opening. Do not overfill.
Allow at least ½” of empty space below fill neck
to allow for gas expansion.
4.
Replace fuel cap securely before starting engine.
5.
Clean up fuel spills/splashes immediately.
If possible, move machine away from
spilled gas on the ground.
Wipe up spilled gas and wait 5 minutes
for excess gas to evaporate before
starting engine.
Gas-soaked rags are flammable and
should be disposed of properly.
1.
Before Starting:
Drain storage tank and close drain valve
.
2.
Turn the unloader to the engine START position.

A running engine is hot enough to ignite fuel.
Never add fuel or remove gas cap if engine is
running or still hot. Let cool at least 2 minutes.
Before initial use, open the ball valve and
run the compressor for 20 minutes to
break-in pump parts.
CAUTION: Synthetic lubrication hazard
