CAUTION: Before first use, run the air com-
pressor at zero tank pressure with the drain
valves fully open for 30 minutes.
NOTE: Once the air compressor is started, pres-
sure inside the air tank will build until the
compressor reaches 120 psi. After reaching
maximum tank pressure the engine will idle
allowing the pressure inside the air tank to
decrease until it reaches a preset level. When
the pressure falls below the preset level, the
engine will accelerate and provide additional
air pressure.
DANGER: Provide adequate ventilation for
toxic exhaust gases and cooling air flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in an en-
closed area, even if doors or windows are open.
• Engines operation produces carbon monox-
ide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
• Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nau-
sea, fainting or death.
TO STOP THE ENGINE:
• Put the on/stop switch in the OFF position.
