SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT TAMPER WITH COMPRESSOR PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS - The pressure
switch settings set at the factory provide the maximum safe operating pressure recommended
for this compressor. Altering these settings can result in over-pressurization, risk of tank,
hose, and pneumatic equipment failure, and serious injury to operator and bystanders.
USE AIR HOSE RATED FOR 150 PSI OR GREATER - Air hose must be rated to safely
handle maximum compressor pressure. Air hose that does not meet minimum pressure
requirements can rupture, releasing high pressure air. Replace a cracked or leaking air hose
immediately to prevent serious injury from contact with high pressure air streams.
SHUT OFF COMPRESSOR AND RELIEVE TANK PRESSURE BEFORE SERVICING UNIT –
Never perform service or maintenance on any part of the compressor while the unit is running
or tanks are pressurized. Open tank drains slowly to allow air to escape, and keep clear of air
stream.
DO NOT MODIFY COMPRESSOR – Altering the compressor in any way may create a serious
safety hazard, and result in serious injury to operator and bystanders. If compressor does not
work properly, stop using unit immediately. Return unit to an authorized service center for
repairs if problem cannot be remedied by following troubleshooting instructions in this manual.
DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR FROM THE UNIT FOR BREATHING PURPOSES - Air
produced by this compressor may contain poisonous exhaust gases from the engine, and is
not suitable for breathing purposes.
DO NOT REFUEL A HOT OR RUNNING ENGINE - Fuel vapor can be ignited by hot surfaces,
causing fire, explosion, and serious injury to operator and bystanders.
REFILL FUEL TANK OUTDOORS ONLY - Fuel vapor can be ignited by pilot lights, electronic
igniters, electric motors, and other sources of heat, sparks, or open flame. Move compressor
away from refueling area before starting to avoid fire risk from fuel spills or vapor.
DO NOT LEAVE COMPRESSOR RUNNING UNATTENDED - Shut compressor off when done,
and disconnect air hoses to prevent unauthorized use of compressor. Drain air tanks if unit is
to be stored or transported.
NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WITH A FUEL LEAK - Leaking fuel can be ignited by hot
surfaces on the unit, resulting in fire, explosion, and serious injury to operator and bystanders.
Stop using a unit with a fuel leak immediately, and shut engine off. Allow unit to cool before
handling or moving. All fuel leaks are potentially serious and must be handled with extreme
caution.
