Compressors are essential tools on construction sites. Makita compressors are highly favored by contractors due to their quick recovery time, low noise level, long service life, and reliable performance. For users of the 5.5 HP Big Bore™ Gas Air Compressor (MAC5501G, sold separately), Makita presents a great customization option - the Throttle Control Kit. This kit enables you to upgrade from the old - fashioned bullwhip - style throttle control to a modern pneumatic - style one. It's made of high - quality materials, ensuring long - lasting durability. The kit includes various parts like elbows, compression sleeves, brass nuts, a pneumatic throttle control, a black tube, and tube inserts. With a UPC code of 088381 - 242332 and a shipping weight of just 0.3 lbs, it's a convenient addition to your compressor.

Using the Makita Throttle Control Kit for your MAC5501G compressor is quite straightforward. First, make sure your compressor is turned off and cooled down. Then, carefully remove the existing bullwhip - style throttle control. Next, install each part from the kit one by one following the included instructions. Connect the pneumatic throttle control and the black tube properly. When using the compressor with the new throttle control, start it up slowly and check for any abnormal noises or vibrations. As for maintenance, regularly inspect the tubes and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the parts clean and free from dirt and debris. If you notice any issues, replace the worn - out parts promptly. Always store the kit in a dry and cool place to prevent corrosion.
