This machine may include such materials as oil, diesel
fuel, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil/air filters and batteries
which may require proper disposal when performing
maintenance and service tasks. Contact local authori-
ties for proper disposal of these materials.
High Pressure Air can cause serious injury or death.
Relieve pressure before removing filler plugs/caps, fit-
tings or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line
which can result in serious injury or death. Always
carefully vent air supply line at tool or vent valve before
performing any service.
This machine produces loud noise with the doors open
or service valve vented. Extended exposure to loud
noise can cause hearing loss. Always wear hearing
protection when doors are open or service valve is
vented.
Never inspect or service unit without first disconnect-
ing battery cable(s) to prevent accidental starting.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a HOT radiator.
Allow radiator to cool down before removing pressure
cap.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels) un-
der high pressure as this can penetrate the skin and
result in serious illness. wear eye protection while
cleaning unit with compressed air to prevent debris
from injuring eye(s).
Disconnected air hoses whip and can cause serious
injury or death. Always attach a safety flow restrictor
to each hose at the source of supply or branch line in
accordance with OSHA Regulation 29CFR Section
1926.302(b).
Hot pressurized fluid can cause serious burns. Do not
open radiator while hot.
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not
operate without guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine
exhaust manifold and piping, air receiver and air
discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly flammable gas.
USE SPARINGLY! Do NOT use ETHER if unit has
GLOW Plug starting aid. Engine damage will result.
Never allow the unit to sit stopped with pressure in the
receiver--separator system. As a precaution, open the
manual blowdown valve.

removed. Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, blow gun
tips, etc. well away from moving parts.
Make sure wheels, tires and tow bar connectors are in
safe operating condition and tow bar is properly
connected before towing.
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back
into the compressor system from devices or systems
downstream of the machine unless the service valve
is closed. Install a check valve at the machine service
valve to prevent reverse flow in the event of an
unexpected shutdown when the service valve is open.
