WARNING

Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in
the engine ignition system or engine exhaust/muffler.

Injury or death may occur as a result of improper fueling.

Serious injury may occur if any air compressor
ventilation openings are restricted, causing the air
compressor to overheat and start a fire.

• Always operate air compressor outdoors in a well ventilated area free
of flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible
materials.

• DO NOT SMOKE if spraying flammable material. Locate the air
compressor at least 20 feet away from the spray area. (An additional
hose may be required.)

• Do not smoke while filling engine fuel tank.

• Never fill the engine fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Allow
the engine to cool two minutes before refueling.

• Do not refuel indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.

• Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may
cause a risk of fire.

• Do not operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe the air compressor
clean and move it away from the spill. Avoid creating any ignition until
the gasoline has evaporated.

• Do not store the air compressor near an open flame or any equipment
such as a stove, furnace, water heater, etc. which utilizes a pilot light
or sparking device.

• A spark arrester must be added to the muffler of this engine if it is
to be used on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered
unimproved land. The arrester must be maintained in effective working
order by the operator.

• Never place objects against or on top of air compressor. Operate air
compressor at least 12 inches away from any wall or obstruction that
would restrict proper ventilation.
