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.

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
