REGULATOR

 

 

 

The regulator knob (F) controls the air pressure coming from the air tank.

Adjusting Regulator

1.Pull regulator knob (F) out.

2.Turn knob clockwise to increase regulated pressure and counterclockwise to decrease regulated pressure.

3.When desired pressure is shown on the regulated pressure gauge push knob in to lock.

If the oil in the pump or engine gets low while the air compressor is running it will automatically shut down the engine and will not restart until oil is added to the engine or pump. If the oil is low before start- up, the engine will not start until oil is added.

NOTE: The low oil shutdown sensors are very sensitive. You must fill the engine and pump to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate this safety device.

INSTALLATION

Assembly (Fig. 1)

HANDLE

Assembly handle (P) to handle bracket (Q) using hardware supplied. The nuts supplied will not spin onto bolts, after two turns a wrench, ratchet, or air tool needs to be used to tighten securely.

INSTALLING HOSES

THROTTLE CONTROL

When maximum air tank pressure is reached and the unloader valve vents air, it activates the throttle control (K) on the engine. This gas saving feature holds the engine at a factory-set idling speed until air pressure in the air tank drops to reset pressure. The unloader valve then reactivates the throttle control and accelerates the engine to full throttle.

K

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.

1.Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).

2.Apply sealant tape to hose threads.

3.Assemble hose(s) to air outlet(s) (G). IMPORTANT: Do not assemble splitters directly to the air outlet(s) (G).

NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies to air outlets (G) and quick connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and disconnecting

LOW OIL SHUT DOWN SENSORS

 

The air compressor engine and pump are equipped

 

with low oil shutdown sensors (O). These are

safety devices designed to protect your engine and

 

pump from damage in the event the oil level in the

 

crankcase is below minimum.

 

hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies and plugs are available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized service center.

DISCONNECTING HOSES

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.

1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
