not use the compressor and contact your
service agent.
Before moving or maintaining the
compressor, ensure that the air tank
pressure has been vented.
Only use recommended attachments and
parts. Unapproved items may be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.
Read the instructions for any accesso-
ry used with the compressor. Ensure
that the safe working pressure of any air
appliance used exceeds the output
pressure of the compressor. If
using a spray gun, check that the area
selected for spraying is provided with
an air change system or adequate
ventilation.
Make sure that the air supply valve is turned
off before disconnecting the air supply hose.
Use the compressor in a well-ventilat-
ed area and ensure it is placed on a firm
surface.
Remember that the air
compressor’s engine produces harmful ex-
haust fumes.
Keep tools and other items away from the
compressor when it is used and keep the
work area clean.
Make sure that the air hoses are not
tangled, twisted or pinched.

disassemble the compressor
for any reason if you are not qualified
to do so. The unit must be checked by
qualified persons only.

operate the compressor
without an air filter.
DO NOT
use the compressor indoors, the
exhaust fumes are poisonous.
DO NOT
allow anyone to operate the com-
pressor unless they have received full in-
struction.
DO NOT
check the ignition system by re-
moving the spark plug or spark plug lead.
Use a specific tester or contact a service
agent.
Make sure that the engine fuel is stored
in an appropriate container. For long
term storage ensure that the fuel tank
is drained and that the compressor is
adequately protected.
CAUTION
DO NOT
direct the output jet of air
towards people or animals.

and will remain so for some time after
shutdown.
DANGER

operate the compressor if
there is a fuel leak. Move the unit to a
safe area where there is no risk of
ignition until the leak has been
rectified and the machine is dry.
NOTE
YOU MUST
drain condensation from
the tank daily and inspect inside walls
for corrosion every 12 months.
DO NOT
remove the fuel cap, or try to re-
fuel whilst the engine is running. Stop the
engine and allow it to cool for two minutes
before attempting to refuel
