SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
d)
Release all pressures within the system
slowly.
Dust and debris may be harmful.
e)
Store idle air compressors out of the reach
of children and other untrained persons.
Air
compressors are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
f)
Maintain air compressors with care.
Follow
maintenance instructions. Properly maintained
products are easier to control.
g)
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the
product’s operation. If damaged, have the
air compressor serviced before using.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
products.
h)
Keep the exterior of the air compressor dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
Always
use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean the
unit. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
5) SERVICE
a)
When servicing a product, use only
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of injury.
b)
Service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result
in a risk of injury.
c)
Disconnect power supply, open drain valve
to decompress tanks and allow water to
drain, and allow air compressor to become
cool to the touch before servicing.
Turn
pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise
after shutting off air compressor.
ELECTRICAL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product is powered by a precision-built electric
motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 230 V, AC only (normal household current),
50 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current
(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the product
does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
WARNING.
Improper installation of the
grounding plug is liable to result in a risk
of electric shock. When repair or
replacement of the cord is required, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
This product is for use on a nominal 230 V circuit
and has a grounding plug. Only connect the
product to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. Do not use an adaptor with this
product.
