starting equipment.
12. SHUTOFF VALVES ARE NOT TO BE INSTALLED
IN THE DISCHARGE LINE BETWEEN THE
COMPRESSOR AND THE RECEIVER UNLESS A
SAFETY VALVE, WITH ADEQUATE FLOW
CAPACITY AND PRESSURE SETTING, IS
LOCATED BETWEEN SHUTOFF VALVE AND THE
COMPRESSOR.
13. When compressor is used for spraying:
Do not spray in vicinity of open flame or other

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using air compressors and compressed air
accessories, basic safety rules and precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions fully.
2. Wiring, starters, breakers and other related
electrical equipment should conform to
electrical codes.
3. Shut off main power and release all pressure
from the unit and set pressure regulator to zero
pressure before removing or adding parts or
attachments and before cleaning compressor.
4. Do not operate any compressor with damaged
wiring. Do not operate after the compressor or
air handling parts have been dropped, damaged,
or shows signs of deterioration, weakness or
leakage. Do not use them if any deficiency is
found. Withdraw from service and repair or
discard such parts.
5. Regularly inspect hose and load handling
fittings for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Do not use them if
deficiency is found. Withdraw from service and
repair or discard such parts.
6. Never use air pressurized accessories or parts
in the air system not suitable for the maximum
air pressure involved. This is dangerous. Be
sure maximum pressure specified by the manu-
facturer is well above the working pressure of
your compressor.
7. Keep clear of compressor. It will become
extremely hot. Moving parts should be avoided.
Do not operate without belt guard.
8. Keep pressure relief devices free from paint or
other accumulation.
