650 kPa (94 psi) or 950 kPa (138 psi) depending on the model. It will also stop automatically
whenever the air receiver pressure reaches the pre-set cut-out pressure of approximately 870 kPa
(126 psi) or 1,200 kPa (174 psi), respectively, depending on the model.
Slowly open the outlet valve, but only if it is connected to a suitable compressed air hose(s) or
distribution pipe(s) not open to the atmosphere.
When compressor operation is no longer required, always turn the pressure switch to the “OFF”
position before turning off the On / Off switch (if fitted), switching off the electricity supply or
unplugging the supply lead. Always use the pressure switch to turn the compressor on and off
otherwise the electric motor may be damaged.
The compressor’s emergency stop button, if fitted, should only be used in the case of a genuine
emergency and not for routine operation. Press firmly on its red button to stop the compressor in an
emergency and then switch off the electricity supply or unplug the supply lead if safe to do so.

Connect an air hose to the compressor’s discharge outlet coupling, if fitted, by pulling back the
locking collar on the socket, inserting a compatible Nitto-style male plug (fitted to one end of the air
hose) into the socket, and then releasing the locking collar. Check that the connection is secure by
ensuring that the locking collar is fully engaged and also by trying to pull the air hose away from the
coupling.
Alternatively, connect an air hose or flexible pipe to the compressor’s discharge outlet valve, if fitted,
using a compatible threaded male air line fitting. Check that the threaded connection is secure by
ensuring that it has been properly tightened and also by trying to pull the air hose or pipe away from
the outlet valve. Check that the outlet valve is closed.
Open the compressor’s easy-start valve.
Move the engine fuel valve lever rightwards to the “ON” position. If you’re unsure of its location,
refer to the separate instruction manual for the petrol engine.
Move the engine choke lever leftwards to the closed position. This may not be necessary if the
engine is already warm or the ambient temperature is high.
Do not touch the engine’s throttle control lever; it will operate automatically.
To start using the engine’s recoil (or “rope”) starter:
(a) Turn on the engine control switch clockwise to the “ON” position.
(b) Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is felt and then pull it briskly. Do not allow the
starter handle to snap back against the engine, but instead return it gently to prevent starter
damage.
(c) If the engine doesn’t start, repeat the previous step.
To start using the engine’s electric starter, if fitted:
(a) Turn the engine control switch clockwise to the “START” position using the ignition key and
