GENERAL SAFETY (Continued)
6. Do not stand on or use the 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.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in the moving parts of the unit.
10. Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or
burns.
11. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP the motor and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank daily and
inspect periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when
draining moisture or depressurizing the compressor system.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Risk of Explosion.
Never attempt
to repair or modify a tank! Welding,
drilling or any other modifi cation
will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion.
Always replace worn, cracked or
damaged tanks.
DANGER
WARNING
Risk of Fire.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite a
fl ammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair in or near a
fl ammable gas or vapor. Never
store fl ammable liquids or gases in
the vicinity of the compressor.
DANGER
Risk of Personal Injury.
This compressor/
pump is NOT equipped and should NOT be
used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. For
any application of air for human consumption,
you must fit the air compressor/pump with
suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment.
This additional equipment is necessary
to properly filter and purify the air to meet
minimal specifications for Grade D breathing
as described in Compressed Gas Association
Commodity Specification G 7.1, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards
Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the
purpose of breathing air application and
proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is
not simultaneously used, existing warranties
are void, and the Manufacturer disclaims any
liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury
or damage.
WARNING
Risk of Explosion.
Never use plastic (PVC)
pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or
death could result.
WARNING
Risk of Personal Injury and/or Equipment
Damage.
Never install a shut-off valve
between the compressor pump and the tank.
