An ASME code safety relief valve with a
setting no higher than the Maximum
Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) of the tank MUST be
installed in the air lines or in the tank for this compressor.
The ASME safety valve must have sufficient flow and pressure
ratings to protect the pressurized components from bursting.
The flow rating can be found in the parts manual. The safety
valve in the intercooler does not provide system protection.
◆
Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve� Keep safety valve
free from paint and other accumulations�
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding, drilling
or any other modification will weaken the tank
resulting in damage from rupture or explosion.
Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
◆
Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank�
Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically for
unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion�
◆
Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be
harmful� Release air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system�
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
◆
Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other
flammable substances�
◆
Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and
spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health
and fire hazards�
◆
Do not direct paint or other sprayed material
at the compressor� Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray
accumulation on the compressor�
◆
When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer�

Installation
The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE notifications and instructions in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur� It must be understood by the operator that caution is a factor which cannot be
built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator�
LOCATION
The tank must sit level or slope slightly towards the drain valve
to allow the tank to drain properly�
It is extremely important to install the compressor in a clean,
well ventilated area where the surrounding air temperature will
not be more than 100°F�
A minimum clearance of 4 inches between the compressor and a
wall is required because objects could obstruct air flow�
Do not locate the compressor air inlet near
steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any
other source of contamination. This debris will damage the
motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and electrical connections
should be performed by a qualified
electrician. Installation must be in accordance with local
codes and national electrical codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1� This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure 1� Make sure the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug� This product
must be grounded� In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for electric current� This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug� Cord must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances�
