compressor is used in a normal working environment on a daily basis.
•
Risk of unsafe operation.
Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the
compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
•
Risk of bursting.
If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur,
causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
•
Risk of burn.
Tubes, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot; do not touch these. Allow
compressor to cool prior to servicing.
•
Risk from flying objects.
Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection
(CAN/CSA Z94.3 with side shields).
•
Risk from noise.
Use ear protection ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air flow noise is loud when draining.
•
Risk of bursting.
Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken
the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

This compressor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload protector which will shut off
the motor if it becomes overheated. If the thermal overload protector is actuated, the motor must be
allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. NOTE: To reset the motor overload, turn the
power switch to the OFF position and unplug the unit from the power outlet. Allow 10 minutes
(minimum) for motor overload cut-out to cool and reset. Unit can then be plugged in and re-started.
