SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE, READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT,
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WITHIN TttE
MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH TO SPARK.
IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRESSOR COME INTO
CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE,
CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR VENTILATION
OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS OVERHEATING AND
COULD CAUSE FIRE.
UNATTENDED OPERATION OF THIS PRODUCT COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A WELL VENTI-
LATED AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS,
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, LOCATE COMPRES-
SOR AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA. AN
ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A SECURE LOCATION
AWAY FROM COMPRESSOR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON TOP OF COM-
PRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA AT
LEAST 1Z INCHES AWAY FROM ANY WALL OR OBSTRUC-
TION THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO
TItE VENTILATION OPENINGS.
OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN A CLEAN, DRY, WELL VENTI-
LATED AREA. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT INDOORS OR IN ANY
CONFINED AREA,
ALWAYS REMAIN IN ATTENDANCE WITH THE PRODUCT
WHEN IT IS OPERATING.

AIR TANK: THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND RESULT IN A
1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN CONDENSED WATER
FROM THE TANK, CAUSING RUST AND THINNING OF THE
STEEL TANK.
2 MODIFICATIONS OR ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO THE TANK.
3. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THE UNLOADER
VALVE, SAFETY VALVE, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS
WHICH CONTROL TANK PRESSURE.
4, EXCESSIVE VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
AND CAUSE RUPTURE OR EXPLOSION.
VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION AND COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
DRAIN TANK DALLY OR AFTER EACH USE. IF TANK DEVEL-
OPS A LEAK, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY WITH A NEW TANK OR
REPLACE THE ENTIRE COMPRESSOR.
NEVER DRILL INTO. WELD. OR MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS
TO THE TANK OR ITS ATTACHMENTS.
THE TANK IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND SPECIFIC OPERATING
PRESSURES. NEVER MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS
SUBSTITUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY SET OPERATING
PRESSURES.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING OF AIR TOOLS, SPRAY
GUNS, AIR OPERATED ACCESSORIES, TIRES AND OTHER
INFLATABLES CAN CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE OR FLY
APART, AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRESSURE. YOU MUST
INSTALL A PRESSURE REGULATOR AND PRESSURE GAUGE
TO THE AIR OUTLET OF YOUR COMPRESSOR. FOLLOW THE
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION AND
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PRESSURE
RATING OF ATTACHMENTS. NEVER USE COMPRESSOR TO
INFLATE SMALL LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS SUCH AS
CHILDREN'S TOYS, FOOTBALLS, BASKETBALLS. ETC,
