Installation

lOCatIOn

It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.

Do not locate the

compressor air inlet

near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
This debris will damage the motor.

GrOUnDInG InStrUCtIOnS

1. This product is for use on a nominal

120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration
as the plug. This product must
be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric
current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

Improper

use of

grounding plug can result in
a possible risk of electrical
shock!

Do not use a

grounding adapter

with this product!

General Safety Information

(Continued)

3. Only persons well acquainted with

these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.

4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow

children in the work area.

5. Wear safety glasses and

use hearing protection
when operating the pump
or unit.

6. Do not stand on or use the pump or

unit as a handhold.

7. Before each use, inspect compressed

air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.

8. Check all fasteners at frequent

intervals for proper tightness.

Motors,

electrical

equipment and controls can
cause electrical arcs that
will ignite a flammable gas
or vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.

Compressor parts may be hot
even if the unit is stopped.

9. Keep fingers away from a running

compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.

10. If the equipment should start

to abnormally vibrate, STOP
the engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.

11. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/

motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease.

Never remove or

attempt to adjust

safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.

Never

attempt

to repair or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any other
modification will weaken the
tank resulting in damage from rupture
or explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.

Drain liquid from

tank daily.

13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,

which weakens the tank. Make
sure to drain tank daily and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.

14. Fast moving air will stir up dust

and debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.

15. Indoor use only.
16. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

SPrayInG PreCaUtIOnS

Do not

spray

flammable materials in
vicinity of open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
