When installing or moving the compressor
WARNING
This compressor is extremely top heavy. The compressor must be bolted to the floor with vibration pads before operating to prevent equipment damage, injury or death. Do Not tighten bolts completely as this may
cause stress to the tank welds.
6.A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor and a wall is required because objects could obstruct airflow.
7.The compressor should be located where it can be directly wired to a circuit breaker. The compressor should be wired by a qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of a dangerous environment
1.Keep work area well lit.
2.Operate compressor in a well-ventilated area free from flammable liquids and vapors.
3.Operate compressor in a ventilated area so that compressor may be properly cooled and the surrounding air temperature will not be more than 100°F.
4.Never use a compressor in a wet environment.
5.Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture. Keep hose and wires away from sharp objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents and wet floors.
WARNING
Do Not secure compressor with toggle bolts into drywall. Drywall sheeting or plaster will not support the weight of the compressor.
8.Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of an operating compressor.
9.Do Not locate the compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblasting areas or any other source of contamination. The debris could damage the motor and pump.
