SAFETY WARNINGS
Read and Understand all Safety Warnings before using Air Compressor
Hazard Level
Risk of Asphyxiation
Risk of Bursting
Potential of Hazard
Serious injury or death may occur
from inhaling compressed air. The
air stream may contain carbon
monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid
articles.
p
Sprayed materials such as paint,
stucco, insecticides, solvents, etc.
contain harmful vapors and poisons
that may cause serious injury or
eath if inhaled.
d
Serious injury or death may occur if
the exhaust from gas-powered
small engines is inhaled. Engine
exhaust fumes contain poisonous,
carbon monoxide which is odorless
nd colorless.
a
Serious injury or death may occur
from an air tank explosion if the air
tanks are not properly maintained
or if modifications, alterations, or
repairs are attempted to the air
eceivers.
r
Serious injury or death may occur if
modifications are made to the pilot
unloader valve, pressure switch,
safety relief valve, or other
components that control the tank
ressure.
p
Serious injury may occur if
accessories or attachments are
operated above the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure ratings,
causing them to explode or fly
apart.
How to Avoid Hazard
Never inhale compressed air directly from
the pump, receiver, or from a breathing
evice connected to the air compressor.
d
Operate compressor only in a well-
ventilated area. Use a respirator device
and follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for their spray
equipment. Keep compressor at least 25
eet away from spray equipment.
f

a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling
engine exhaust fumes, and never run a
small gas-powered engine in a closed
building or confined area without adequate
entilation.
v
Drain air tanks daily or after each use.
Never drill into, weld, patch, or modify the
air tanks. If a leak develops replace the
tank immediately, or replace the entire
ompressor.
c
Never make adjustments to the
components that control tank pressure. Do
not make alterations to the factory
operating pressure settings. Check
operation of the safety valve on a regular
basis and never operate without a factory
pproved safety valve.
a
Do not use air tools or attachments before
reading the owner’s manual to determine
the maximum pressure recommendations.
Never exceed the manufacturer’s maximum
allowable pressure ratings. Do not use
compressor to inflate small low pressure
objects such as toys.
