10. Turn the Tool Pressure Valve (part #13) counterclockwise to allow air to the
pneumatic tool. (See Figures B, and E.)
11. NOTE: When adjusting the air pressure being forwarded to the pneumatic tool,
you will need to compare the pressure readings of both the Tanks’ Pressure
Gauge (part #27) and the outlet Pressure Gauge (part #12). The reading on the
Tanks’ Pressure Gauge dictates the maximum air pressure at which the outlet
Pressure Gauge may be set. (See Figure E.)
12. With the Air Compressor running, and the air hose and pneumatic tool hooked up
to the Air Compressor, turn the Tool Pressure Valve (part #13)
counterclockwise to increase the air output to the tool, up to the maximum
rated pressure (125 PSI) as indicated on the Tanks’ Pressure Gauge (part #27).
(See Figure E.) In any case never exceed the pressure rating of the hose or tool
connected to compressor.
13. Turn the Tool Pressure Valve (part #13) clockwise to decrease the air output to
the tool, down to the minimum rated pressure (0 PSI) as indicated on the Tanks’
Pressure Gauge (part #27). (See Figure E.)

efficiently. (See Figure B.)
SAFETY VALVE (#29)
15. In the event fast decompression of the Air Tanks (part #39) is required, immedi-
ately turn off the Gasoline Engine (part #25) and pull out on the Pull Ring of the
Safety Valve (part #29) until both Air Tanks have fully decompressed.
(See Figures B, and E.)
16. Pull out on the Safety Valve (part #29) to immediately release air pressure in the
Air Tanks (part #39). (See Figure I.)
SKU 04169 PAGE 10 REV 09/03
17. When finished using the Air Compressor, turn off the Gasoline Engine
(part #25), and pull out on the Pull Ring of the Safety Valve (part #29) until both
Air Tanks (part #39) have fully decompressed. (See Figures B, and E.)
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. CAUTION! Aways release all pressure from the system and disconnect all
tools from the Air Compressor before performing any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning. Be aware that the sudden release of air from any valve or air tool can
present a danger to one’s ears.
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Air Compressor.
Check all air fittings for leaks. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding
of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged, and any other condition that
may affect the safe operation of this tool. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
immediately release all pressure from the system and have the problem cor-
rected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
The Drain Plugs are located underneath each Air Tank, and should be used daily
to release all trapped moisture that may cause Air Tank corrosion. Slowly and
carefully unscrew (no more than four threads) the Drain Plugs until the con-
densation begins to be released from the Air Tanks. Allow sufficient time for all of
the condensation to escape from the Air Tanks. Then, firmly re-tighten the Drain
Plugs. (See Figure E.)
3. DAILY: EMPTY CONDENSATION FROM THE AIR TANKS (part #39).
4. DAILY: Check the Air Compressor oil level. If necessary, fill with a premium
quality, 30-weight, non-detergent, compressor oil. NOTE: When checking the Air
Compressor oil level, make sure to unscrew (do not pull) the Oil Cap (part #23).
5. EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE: Clean the Air Filter Sleeve (part #1) with a mild
solvent. Then, dry and re-attach the Air Filter Sleeve. (Replace the Air Filter
Sleeve if it is too dirty to properly clean.) To clean or replace the Air Filter Sleeve,
remove the two Hex Socket Set Bolts. Remove the Air Filter Cover. Remove the
Air Filter Sleeve and clean. Then, replace the Air Filter Sleeve and two Hex
Socket Set Bolts. (See Figures E, and F.)
