RISK OF BURSTING
Serious injury or death may occur from an air tank explosion if air tanks
are not properly maintained. Drain air tank daily or after each use to
prevent moisture buildup in the air tank.
If air tank develops a leak, replace the air tank immediately. Never repair,
weld or make modifications to the air tank or its attachments. Use only
genuine manufacturer repair parts for your unit. NEVER make adjustments
to the factory set pressures.
Serious injury may occur from the unit malfunction or exploding
accessories if incorrect system components, attachments or accessories
are used. Never exceed manufacturers maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments.
Because of extreme heat, do not use plastic pipe or lead tin soldered
joints for a discharge line.
Never use the unit to inflate small, low pressure objects such as toys.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in the engine
ignition system or engine exhaust/muffler. Always operate the unit in a
well ventilated area free of flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases
or other combustible material
s. Do not weld where the atmosphere may
contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
DO NOT SMOKE if spraying flammable material. Locate the unit at least
20 feet away from the spray area. (An additional hose may be required.)
Never fill the engine fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Allow
the engine to cool two minutes before refueling. Do not refuel indoors
or in a poorly ventilated area.
Do not operate the unit if gasoline is spilled. Wipe the unit clean and
move it away from the spill. Avoid creating any ignition until the gasoline
has evaporated.
Do not store the unit near an open flame or any equipment such as a
stove, furnace, water heater, etc. which utilizes a pilot light or sparking
device.
A spark arrester must be added to the muffler of this engine if it is to be
used on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered unimproved
land. The arrester must be maintained in effective working order by the
operator.
Serious injury may occur if any of the unit's ventilation openings are
restricted, causing the unit to overheat and start a fire. Never place
objects against or on top of the unit. Operate the unit at least 12 inches
away from any wall or obstruction that would restrict proper ventilation.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause
them to explode. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can
cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire.
Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. Do not
weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material. Watch for fire,
and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames. Remove stick electrode from holder when
not in use.
