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.
1 0 . 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.
1 1 . 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.
1 3 . 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.
1 4 . 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.
1 6 . To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

or its power cord may contain
chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not
spray flammable materials in
vicinity of open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
1 6 . Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
s u b s t a n c e s .
1 7 . Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
1 8 . 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.
1 9 . When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Installation
L O C A T I O N
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.
For Household use only.
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.
I m p r o p e r
use of
grounding plug can result in
a possible risk of electrical
shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2 . If repair or replacement of cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an external
surface that is green (with or without
yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3 . Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
