When installing or moving the compressor

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.

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.

Do Not

 secure compressor with toggle bolts

into drywall. Drywall sheeting or plaster will not
support the weight of the compressor.

WARNING

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.

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.

Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.

Never use the shipping skid for mounting the
compressor.

This compressor is not intended for outdoor
installation.

Never install a shut off valve between the compres-
sor pump and tank. Personal injury and/or 
equipment damage could occur.

NOTICE

WARNING

WARNING

Before each use

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
    benches invite accidents.

2. The floor must not be slippery from wax or 
    dust.

1. To reduce the risk of injury from accidental
    starting, turn the switch off and disconnect
    power.

2. If any part is missing, bent or broken in any
    way, or any electrical part does not work
    properly, keep the compressor off and dis-
    connect power. 

Do Not

 use if defect is found.

3. Check hoses for weak or worn condition
    before each use, making certain all connect-
    ions are secure. 

Do Not

 use if a defect is

    found.
