c. Operational Checks
In case of malfunction, immediately shut
off compressor by stopping gasoline engine
and notify organizational maintenance per-
sonnel.
(1) As compressor operates, air pressure gage will indicate
amount of air in the receiver tank. Check gage frequent-
ly.
When air pressure reaches 200 psi, the unloading control
valve opens and remains open until pressure in the air
tank falls below 175 psi.
(2) As air pressure increases, check for air leaks. Air leaks can be found by listening for
hissing sound which is the air escaping from a loose connection.
(3) Engine will operate normally for about four hours on a full tank of gasoline. Stop engine
and add fuel after about four hours of operation.
d. Operating Instructions on Decals (See figure 2-2).
2-6. STOPPING OPERATION

may cause burns.
(1) Operate ON-OFF switch (1) to OFF position.
(2) Release air pressure from receiver.
