NOTICE
Do not operate the starter motor for more than 30 seconds without allowing at
least 30 seconds cooling time between start attempts.
Release Power Switch (it will automatically move to the “ON” position) when the engine starts

Cold Weather Starting
• Turn power switch to the glow plug position and hold 10 seconds. Then turn to start.
NOTICE
Exercise extreme caution when using a booster battery to start. To jump start:
Connect the ends of one booster cable to the positive (+) terminals of each
battery. Then connect one end of the other cable to the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery and the other end to the engine block. Not to the negative (-
) terminal of the weak battery.
Stopping
NOTICE
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back into the compressor system
from devices or systems downstream of the machine unless the service valve is
closed. Install a check valve at the machine service valve to prevent reverse flow
in the event of an unexpected shutdown when the service valve is open.
Close air service valves.
• Allow the unit to run at idle for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce the engine temperatures.
• Turn Power Switch to “OFF” position.
• When the engine stops, automatic blowdown valve should relieve system air pressure.
If automatic blow-down valve malfunction is suspected, open manual blowdown valve.
• Never allow unit to sit under pressure when engine is not running.
