General Safety Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product or its
power cord may
contain chemicals, including lead,
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
You
can
create
dust when you cut, sand, drill
or grind materials such as
wood, paint, metal, concrete,
cement, or other masonry. This dust
often contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wear protective
gear.
GENERAL SAFETY
Since the air compressor and other
components (material pump, spray
guns, filters, lubricators, hoses,
etc.) used, make up a high pressure
pumping system, the following safety
precautions must be observed at all
times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product
carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the United States,
the National Electrical Codes (NEC)
and Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
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 unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the 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 fl ammable gas
or vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a fl ammable gas or vapor. Never
store fl ammable 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 vibrate abnormally, 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.
A safety relief valve
with a setting no
higher than 125 psi MUST be installed
in the tank for this compressor. The
safety valve must have suffi cient fl ow
and pressure ratings to protect the
pressurized components from bursting.
See
compressor
specifi cation decal
for maximum operating pressure.
Do not operate with pressure switch
or pilot valves set higher than the
maximum operating pressure.
12. Never attempt to adjust the safety
valve. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations.
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
Never
attempt
to repair or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any other
modifi cation will weaken the
tank resulting in damage from rupture
or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make
sure to drain tank regularly 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
fl ammable materials in
vicinity of open fl ame
or near ignition sources
including the compressor unit.
17. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
18. Use a face mask /
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to prevent
health and fire hazards.
19. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
20. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.

Breathable Air Warning
This compressor / pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is”
to supply breathing quality air. For any application of air for human
consumption, the air compressor / pump will need to be fitted with
suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment
is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal
specifications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed
Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910.134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air
application and proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not
simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and the
Manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal
injury or damage.
