SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

When using air compressors and compressed air 
accessories, basic safety rules and precautions must 
always be followed, including the following:

1.

 

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FULLY.

 

2.

 

WIRING & BREAKERS

 

Wiring, breakers and other electrical equipment 
must conform to local and national electrical codes. 
Do not operate this unit with damaged wiring or 
after the unit or air handling parts have been 
dropped or damaged in any manner. Notify 
authorized service facility for examination, repair 
or other adjustments.

3.

 

USE SUITABLE PARTS & ACCESSORIES

 

Do not use air pressurized accessories or parts in the 
air system not suitable for the maximum air pressure.

4.

 

RELEASE AIR PRESSURE SLOWLY

 

Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris, which 
may be harmful. Release air pressure slowly when 
depressurizing your system to avoid bodily injury.

5.

 

SECURE DRAIN LINES

 

Fasten drain lines to floor or drain. Pressurized air 
may periodically pass through drain lines, which will 
cause an unsecured line to whip and may cause 
bodily injury.
