compressed air outlet and to the air driven tool.

OIL ALERT SYSTEM

An oil alert system is fitted to prevent engine damage caused by insufficient oil in the

crankcase. Before the oil can fall below a safe limit the oil alert system will

automatically stop the engine although the throttle lever remains in a running

position.

If the engine stops and will not re-start, check the engine oil level before

troubleshooting other areas.

using an appropriate connector.

4. Check the system for air leaks. If any are apparent, stop the engine and operate

the air tool until the air pressure is at zero before rectifying leaks.

NOTE: A self-relieving regulator is fitted which will vent excess air pressure

from the bleed hole when the pressure reaches the maximum. operating

pressure for the compressor.

5. Turn the pressure regulator (clockwise to increase pressure) and proceed to use

your air tool in accordance with its own product instructions.

SUBSEQUENT STARTING
