WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO AVOID IT
WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES
serious burn injuries can result from touching exposed
metal parts such as the engine or motor, pump, or any part
of the copper/braided discharge lines and components.
These parts will become hot during operation and stay
hot for an extended period of time even after the com-
pressor is shut down.
Never touch any of the exposed metal parts during ope-
ration and for an extended period of time after shut down.
Do not reach around shrouds or attempt any mainte-
nance until the unit has been allowed to completely cool
WARNING
: RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
Serious injury or death can occur if moving parts such
as belts, flywheels, pulleys, or fans come into contact with
you or your clothing.
Prior to operation, always make sure all protective
guards and covers are in good condition, and never opera-
te the compressor if any guard or cover has been removed
or damaged.
Always keep your hair, jewelry, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts as they can be caught.
lt is common for air vents to cover moving parts, so they
should be avoided as well
An electric air compressor can restart at any time when
plugged in, and an unexpected startup can result in se-
rious injury, death, or property damage

ged or missing parts, protective guards, shrouds, or covers
will expose you to moving parts and can result in serious
injury or death
