INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
HAZARD
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
WITHIN THE 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
VENTILATED AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS.
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, LOCATE
COMPRESSOR 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 COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN
AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 12 INCHES AWAY FROM
ANY WALL OR OBSTRUCTION THAT WOULD
RESTRICT THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE
VENTILATION OPENINGS.
OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN A CLEAN, DRY, WELL
VENTILATED AREA. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT
INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA.
ALWAYS REMAIN IN ATTENDANCE WITH THE
PRODUCT WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
RISK OF BURSTING
AIR TANK: THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND RESULT
IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION AND COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN CON-
DENSED 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.
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.
DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE. I F TANK
DEVELOPS 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.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRESSURE,
YOU MUST INSTALL A PRESSURE REGULATORAND 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

EITHER DIRECTLY OR FROM A BREATHING DEVICE
CONNECTED TO THE COMPRESSOR.
WORK IN AN AREA WITH GOOD CROSSVENTILATION. READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ON THE LABEL ORSAFETY DATA SHEETS FOR THE MATERIAL YOU
ARE SPRAYING. USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
RESPIRATOR DESIGNED FOR USE WITH YOUR
SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
