Compressor Air and Oil Hazard
•
The compressor system is under sufficient pressure that a leak
could force the air/oil mixture through the skin directly into your
bloodstream. This could cause serious injury or death.
•
Ensure the system is completely depressurized before attempting
maintenance or repair.
•
Do not use compressed air to clean off clothing or skin, compressed
air can penetrate the skin causing serious injury or death.
•
Do not move or service the system while it is pressurized or
operating.
•
Components and hoses under pressure could separate suddenly
and cause serious injury or death. If equipped, the air receiver tank
must be drained prior to servicing the system.
•
Never adjust or attempt to make any repairs to the system while
the engine is running. Components and hoses under pressure could
fail and cause serious injury or death.
Burst Hazard
This system is designed to generate air pressure up to 150 psi during
normal operation (factory default: 140 psi):
•
Serious injury or death may result from an air tank explosion.
•
Never exceed manufacturer’s maximum air pressure rating.
•
Do not repair components, only replace with approved parts.
•
Do not tamper with, or disable factory safety equipment.
Moving Parts Hazard
•
Prior to performing service, disconnect the spark plug lead to
prevent unexpected engine start.
•
Do not operate the system without guards in place. If the guards
are damaged or missing, replace them before operating the
equipment.
