Operating Instructions

1.  

Make sure all operators receive product training, read and understand all instructions.

2.  

NEVER

 allow modifications to compressor structure or controls.

3.   Keep all ignition sources away from exposed electrical parts.

4.   Keep all persons clear of compressor during start-up and operation.

5.  

NEVER

 operate the compressor with the fan, coupling or other guards removed.

6.  

DO NOT

 engage in horseplay with air hoses as death or serious injury may result.

7.  

Make sure to provide adequate ventilation and use proper lubricant while operating the compressor. If   

 

lubricant or other combustible substances are spilled, clean up immediately.

8.   When checking or adding lubricant or when refilling air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound, shut  
 

off compressor and allow it to cool. Keep sparks, flames and other ignition sources away and 

DO NOT 

permit  

 

smoking in the vicinity.

9.   Stop compressor and disconnect power if a hazardous condition arises.

10.   Wear snug fitting clothing and confine long hair when around compressor. Keep all body parts and clothing  
 

away from couplings, flywheel and other moving parts of the equipment.

Keep all flammable, combustible, poisonous and noxious materials 
away from operating area. Make sure there are no oily rags, trash, 
leaves, litter or other combustible materials in operating area. Keep 
suitable, fully charged fire extinguishers nearby when servicing and 
operating the compressor.

WARNING

Keep all persons away from the discharge opening of hoses or tools or 
other points of compressed  air discharge. If the machine is installed 
in an enclosed area, be sure to vent the relief valve outside of the 
structure or to an unoccupied area.
