16.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.
17.When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Location
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.
TANK MOUNTING
This compressor is
extremely top
heavy. The unit must be bolted to the
floor with isolation pads or secured
with the wall cable (if provided) before
operating to prevent equipment
damage, injury or death.
The tank should be bolted to a
concrete floor or on a separate
concrete foundation. Vibration
isolators should be used between the
tank leg and the floor . When using
isolator pads, do not draw bolts tight.
Allow the pads to absorb vibrations. A
flexible coupling should be installed
between the tank and service piping.
The air compressor should be mounted
on a flat, even surface.

Operating Instructions
Oilless Stationary Compressors
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11.To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
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 or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
12.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.
13.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.
14.Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15.Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.

NOTICE
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes, as well as in the U.S., National
Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses
and use hearing
protection when
operating the pump
or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit
is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away
from a running compressor; fast
moving and hot parts will cause
injury and/or burns.
10.If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
