GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

 

Read the Owner’s Manual before operating. 

 

DANGER: 

 

Do not use compressed air for breathing air applications.

 

 Beware of high voltage: disconnect lockout/tagout electric supply before servicing.

 

 Ground compressor per codes.

 

WARNING: 

 

Beware of high-pressure air: do not bypass, modify, or remove safety/relief valves.

 

 Beware of hot surfaces: allow unit to cool before servicing.

 

 Do not operate with safety guards removed.

 

CAUTION: 

 

To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock or Injury, Use Indoors Only.

 

Never operate the compressor near flammable liquids or vapors.

 

 Do not direct the air stream at body.

 

 Drain tank air every day to decrease risk of bursting.

NOTE: 

Per UL 1450:46.17 C-Aire recommends a maximum of 70% duty cycle for its compressors.

Upon receipt, inspect the unit for damage and missing parts. If either is apparent, make notations on the delivery receipt, 
before signing the receipt. Ask the carrier how to file a claim for shipping damages.

If concealed damage is discovered (after receiving the unit), notify the carrier within 15 days of receipt, in writing.

 

WARNING: 

 

Be sure lifting equipment is capable of supporting the weight of the unit.

 

 Lift the unit by the shipping skid only.

 

 Do not walk under or work under the unit while it is suspended.

SELECTING A LOCATION:

C-Aire compressors are to be installed and operated in a clean, dry, well-lighted, and well-ventilated area, not less than 12 
inches from walls or other equipment.

Provide at least 1,000 cubic feet of fresh air per 5 hp.

Ideal operating temperatures are between 32°F and 100°F.

Avoid excessively humid areas, as moisture may form in the pump, producing sludge and causing moving parts to wear 
prematurely.
