AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor pump was filled
WITH
oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump Oil
under
Maintenance.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be
compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.
NOTE:
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
WARNING:
Risk of breathing. Exhaust from the gasoline engine
contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic.
Operate engine only in well ventilated areas.
CAUTION:
Risk of property damage. In order to avoid damaging
the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10º
when operating.
Place air compressor at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from obstacles that
may prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas that have
dirt, vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere which may clog and
gum up the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit
is located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature
changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation
on the pump when it cools down and a “milky” appearance in
compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in
the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for longer intervals.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts
or silencers, relocate the unit or baffle walls. Contact a D

(72.6 kg) Do not move or lift without assistance.
CAUTION:
Risk of property damage. The wheels and handle do
not provide adequate clearance, stability or support for pulling the
unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted, or pushed
up a ramp.

compressor in a vehicle,
trailer, etc. ensure that the air
tank is drained and the unit is
secured and placed on a
protective mat on a flat
horizontal surface.
DO NOT
store in a standing position.
NOTE:
Use recommended tie
down points (Q) when transporting. Use care when driving so to
avoid tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the
unit or surrounding items if unit is tipped. Use a ramp if loading or
unloading the unit from a height of more than 12" (30.5 cm).
