Inspect Safety Valve

MAINTENANCE

1.Pull ring on Safety Valve (see Figure 14) and ensure that Safety Valve operates freely.

Figure 14 - Safety Valve

Safety Valve Ring

2.If valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with same type of valve.Take unit to authorized service facility for repair.

Inspect Quick Connect Fittings and Tank Drain Valves

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

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

WARNING

Compressed air stream from hose or tank drain can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel objects leading to severe injury

and / or property damage.

•DO NOT direct air stream at self or others.

•Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields.

3.Disconnect air hose(s), air tool(s), or accessory from unit.Inspect Quick Connect fittings for damage and clean.

4.Pull ring on Safety Valve to reduce air pressure. Release Safety Valve ring.

5.Open Drain Valves (turn fully counterclockwise,

see Figure 2, earlier) and discharge accumulated water. Valves should operate smoothly and have full range of operation.

6.After water has drained, close Drain Valves fully clockwise.

NOTE: If Drain Valves are plugged, pull Safety Valve ring to fully drain air from tanks. Remove, clean and reinstall Drain Valves using pipe thread sealant.

Inspect Engine Oil Level

Oil Recommendations

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

1.Choose a viscosity according to the table below:

									30

			5W-30, 10W-30
			Synthetic			5W-30, 10W-30

°F	-20	0	20	32 40				60	80	100
°C	-30	-20	-10		0		10	20	30	40

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

*The use of multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in higher than normal oil consumption. Inspect oil level more often when using a multi-viscosity oil.

**The use of SAE 30 oil in temperatures below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.

NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2,API certification mark and API service symbol with “SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil for use at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.

Inspecting Engine Oil Level

Inspect oil level prior to each use or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1.Make sure unit is on a level surface.

2.Remove Oil Fill Cap and wipe clean with cloth.

3.Verify oil is at the point of overflowing at oil fill opening.
