from the spray area.
Injury or death may occur as a
result of improper fueling.
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.

SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR
HAZARD
RISK OF
BURSTING
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE
Serious injury or death may occur
from an air tank explosion if air
tanks are not properly maintained.
Serious injury may occur from
an air compressor malfunction or
exploding accessories if incorrect
system components, attachments
or accessories are used.
PREVENTION
Drain air tank daily or after each
use to prevent moisture buildup in
the air tank.
If air tank develops a leak,
replace the air tank immediately.
Never repair, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Use only genuine
John Deere repair parts for your
air compressor.
Never make adjustments to the
factory set pressures.
Never exceed manufacturers
maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments.
Use caution when inflating small,
low pressure objects such as toys.
RISK TO
BREATHING
Serious injury or death could occur
from inhaling compressed air. The
air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors or solid
particles.
Serious injury or death may occur
from inhaling engine exhaust.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers, etc.
contain harmful vapors and
poisons.
Never inhale air from the air
compressor either directly or from
a breathing device connected to
the air compressor.
This air compressor was designed
for outdoor use. Never operate
this air compressor in an enclosed
area. Always make certain there
is adequate ventilation (fresh
outside air) for breathing and
combustion. This will prevent
the buildup of dangerous carbon
monoxide gases. Beware of
poorly ventilated areas, or areas
with inadequate exhaust fans.
Operate air compressor only in
a well ventilated area. Follow all
safety instructions provided with
the materials you are spraying.
Use of a respirator may be
required when working with some
materials.
