MAINTENANCE / STORAGE

Inspect Spark Plug

Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.This will help your engine to start easier and run better.

1.Clean area around spark plug.

2.Remove and inspect spark plug.

3.Inspect electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set spark plug gap to 0.030 inch (0.76mm) if necessary (see Figure 21).

Figure 21 — Spark Plug

4.Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned, or if porcelain is cracked. Use the recommended replacement spark plug (see Page 13).

5.Install spark plug and tighten firmly.

Inspect Safety Labels

As often as desired or at least yearly, inspect all labels applied to the air compressor. All safety labels should be present and readable. If any safety label is missing or illegible, obtain a replacement from an authorized service center or call the air compressor helpline at 1-800-743-4115.

STORAGE

The air compressor should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more than

30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

Before you store your air compressor, make sure you perform the following:

1.Review MAINTENANCE beginning on page 14 and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary.

2.Turn engine ON/OFF switch to OFF position (see Figure 9 earlier).

3.Move Fuel Shutoff Valve lever to OFF position (see Figure 8 earlier).

4.Turn Pressure Control knob counterclockwise until knob turns freely.

5.Remove air hose(s), air tool(s), or accessories.

6.Pull ring on Safety Valve and drain air from air tanks to reduce air pressure. Release Safety Valve ring.

7.Drain remaining air and water condensate from tanks by opening Drain Valves fully counterclockwise.

8.Rock unit gently side to side or forward and back to agitate condensate as it drains to obtain a more thorough emptying action.

9.After condensate has been drained, close Drain Valves fully clockwise.

10.Protect air hose(s) from damage (such as being stepped on or driven over).

Long Term Storage Instructions

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tanks during storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Fuel Additive:

If using a fuel additive, fill the Fuel Tank with fresh fuel. If only partially filled, air in the Fuel Tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 24 months with additive.

• Add fuel additive following manufacturer’s instructions.
