MOVING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figure 22, page 26.
 Raise the handle to the up position.
 Make sure the air compressor is off.
 Close the fuel valve.
 With your foot on the rear of the frame, tilt the machine
toward you until it balances on the wheels, then roll the
machine to the desired location.
 Allow 30 minutes of “cool down” time before storing the
machine.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Specific modifications are needed for high-altitude operation.
Please contact your authorized service center for important
information regarding these modifications. Operating this
engine without the proper altitude modification may increase
the engine’s emissions and decrease fuel economy and
performance.
OPERATION
CHANGING COUPLERS AND FITTINGS
FROM 1/4 IN. SIZE TO 3/8 IN. SIZE
See Figures 23 - 24, page 26.
This air compressor is equipped with high flow 3/8-in. air line
construction, but features couplings and fittings with 1/4-in.
internal diameter on all the air outlets since this is the most
common fitting size in use.
For optimal performance, you can replace these 1/4-in. cou-
plings with 3/8-in. internal diameter couplings and fittings
(not provided). This will allow you to achieve higher volume
air flow with lower pressure drop.
To replace the fittings:
Turn off the air compressor and release all pressure from
both air tanks.
Using an adjustable wrench, remove the 1/4-in. quick
connect couplers and air reducers.
Apply pipe sealant to new 3/8-in. couplers and then install.
Tighten securely.
Disconnect the unregulated air fitting from the unregulated
air intake coupler.
Remove the 1/4-in. unregulated air intake coupler and air
reducer.
Apply pipe sealant to new 3/8-in. coupler and then install.
Tighten securely.
Remove the 1/4-in. unregulated air fitting and air reducer.
Apply pipe sealant to new 3/8-in. air fitting and then install.
Tighten securely.
Connect the new unregulated air fitting into the new
unregulated air intake coupler.
