Automatic restarting or electrical shock can cause injury or death. Disconnect

servicing unit.
When the pressure relief valve opens, a stream of high velocity air is released,
resulting in a high noise level and possible discharge of accumulated dirt or
other debris. Always wear eye and ear protection and stand clear of the
discharge port when testing the pressure relief valve to prevent injury.
Never paint, lubricate or alter a pressure relief valve. Do not plug vent or
restrict discharge.
Operation of the unit with improper pressure relief valve setting can result in
severe personal injury or machine damage. Ensure properly set valves are
installed and maintained.
