Do not leave an operating machine unattended.
Always shut the machine OFF and relieve the
pressure before leaving the machine. NEVER
disconnect the high- pressure hose from the unit
while the tank and air line is pressurized.

Never direct air stream at people or animals. A
high- pressure stream produced by this
compressor could pierce the skin and
underlying tissues, leading to a serious injury or
amputation. DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION
INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! In case of
skin injection, see a physician immediately.
WARNING: High pressure stream
hazard
Note: To change tools or attachments,
change out the tools on the end of the hose.
There is a check valve built into the hose
coupler so that air does not escape when
tools are removed.
Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in
the tank. Removing threaded connections with
pressure in the tank may cause the removed
component to become a projectile.
WARNING: Projectile hazard
Do not string hoses across floors or aisles
where they are liable to cause personnel to
trip and fall. Suspend air supply hoses
overhead, or otherwise locate to provide
sufficient access and protection against
damage.
Using Compressor for Spraying
Spraying flammable materials.
Always
follow precautions on container labels or
MSDS’ before spraying flammable
materials such as paint.
Moisture in Compressed Air
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets
as it leaves air compressor pump. When humidity
is high or when a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time, this moisture will
collect in the tank.
When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this
water will be carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with
the spray material. If this is not acceptable for your
application, an external air dryer must be added to
the system.
Shutdown Procedures
Normal Shutdown
1.
Move the pressure switch lever to OFF and
close the ball valve to stop/shut off air flow.
2.
Turn engine switch to OFF position
.
3.
Turn fuel valve lever to OFF position.
4.
Drain air from the tank by releasing
pressure. Disconnect hoses and open the
ball valve or pull the ring on the safety relief
valve.
Note: Lifting the unloader knob will not
release pressure from the tank.
5.
Once the air tank pressure gauge registers
under 10 PSI, open the drain valve on the
foot ring of the tank to drain any moisture.
6.
Remove spark plug to prevent accidental
starting of engine.
7.
Cool engine at least 5 minutes before
storing. A hot engine is a fire hazard. (See
“
Storage
” section for more information.)
Malfunction during operation.
Immediately turn off the compressor if any
of the following conditions arise during
operation:
Excessive change in motor speed, slow or fast
Overheating
Excessive vibration
Unusual noise
Flame or smoke
Air leakage
To stop the compressor in an emergency:
1.
Move the pressure switch lever to OFF and
close the ball valve to stop/shut off air flow.
2.
Turn engine switch to OFF position.
3.
Turn fuel valve lever to OFF position.
4.
Pull the safety relief valve to quickly
release pressure from the tank.
5.
Remove spark plug to prevent accidental
starting of engine.
6.
Ensure compressor will not be re-started
until problem is remedied.
