DANGER:
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.
CAUTION:
See the compressor specification decal for
maximum operating pressure. Do not operate with
pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than the
maximum operating pressure.
CAUTION:
Do not use this compressor in an environment
where the air is contaminated or dusty. Using the
compressor in such an environment may cause equipment
damage.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
An ASME code safety relief valve with a
setting no higher than the maximum allowable working
pressure (MAWP) MUST be installed in the tank for this
compressor. The ASME safety valve must have sufficient
flow and pressure ratings to protect the pressurized
components from bursting.
WARNING:
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.
WARNING:
This compressor is extremely top heavy.
The unit must be bolted to the floor with isolation pads
before operating to prevent equipment damage, injury,
or death.
WARNING:
Do not modify this compressor. Do not use or
create accessories not recommended for use with this
compressor. Alterations and/or modifications are a form
of misuse, which could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible personal injury or equipment damage.

WORK SAFETY AREA
GENERAL SAFETY
□
Keep visitors away from the compressor, and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
□
Before each use, inspect the compressed air system and
electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness, or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before
using.
□
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
□
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
□
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
□
Never attempt to adjust the ASME safety valve. Keep the safety
valve free from paint and other accumulations.
□
Read all manuals included with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
□
Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation
should be allowed to use the compressor.
□
Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank.
Make sure to drain the 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.
