SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

d)

Release all pressures within the system

slowly.

Dust and debris may be harmful.

e)

Store idle air compressors out of the reach

of children and other untrained persons.

Air

compressors are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

f)

Maintain air compressors with care.

Follow

maintenance instructions. Properly maintained

products are easier to control.

g)

Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the

product’s operation. If damaged, have the

air compressor serviced before using.

Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained

products.

h)

Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry,

clean, and free from oil and grease.

Always

use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use

brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based

products, or any strong solvents to clean the

unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

5) SERVICE

a)

When servicing a product, use only

identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the Maintenance section of

this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow Maintenance instructions may

create a risk of injury.

b)

Service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel.

Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified personnel may result

in a risk of injury.

c)

Disconnect power supply, open drain valve

to decompress tanks and allow water to

drain, and allow air compressor to become

cool to the touch before servicing.

Turn

pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise

after shutting off air compressor.

ELECTRICAL

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This product is powered by a precision-built electric

motor. It should be connected to a power supply

that is 230 V, AC only (normal household current),

50 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current

(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of

power and the motor will overheat. If the product

does not operate when plugged into an outlet,

double check the power supply.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of a

malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is

equipped with an electric cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the

outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

WARNING.

Improper installation of the

grounding plug is liable to result in a risk

of electric shock. When repair or

replacement of the cord is required, do not connect

the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The

wire with insulation having an outer surface that is

green with or without yellow stripes is the

grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether

the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord

immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 230 V circuit

and has a grounding plug. Only connect the

product to an outlet having the same configuration

as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with this

product.

WARNING! FILL WITH COMPRESSOR OIL

BEFORE USING. RUNNING THE

COMPRESSOR WITH NO OIL OR LOW OIL

VOIDS WARRANTY
