GENERAL SAFETy
Since the air compressor and other
components used (filters, lubricators,
hoses, etc .), 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 US,
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 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.
12 . 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 .
13 . Fast moving air will stir up dust
and debris which may be harmful .
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system .
14 . Indoor use only .
15 . 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.
16 . Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances .
17 . Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to prevent
health and fire hazards .
18 . Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor . Locate
compressor as far away from
