injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
WARNING
Instruct operators
. Owner must instruct all
operators in safe set-up and operation. Do not
allow anyone to operate the compressor who has
not read the Owner’s Manual and been instructed
on its safe use.
Safety equipment/controls
. Always operate with
all safety covers, guards, and barriers in place and
in good working order, and all controls properly
adjusted for safe operation.
Moving parts
. Keep hands, feet, hair and apparel
away from moving parts. Air vents may cover
moving parts and should be avoided as well.
Never remove any guards while the unit is
operating.
Ear Protection.
Hearing can be damaged from
prolonged, close-range exposure to the type of
noise produced by this compressor. The use of
ear plugs or other hearing protection device is
recommended for persons working within 15-20
feet of the running compressor for an extended
period of time.
Eye Protection.
Wear ANSI/OSHA required
“Z87.1” safety glasses when operating or
servicing the compressor. Pressurized air
spray from this unit can cause severe injury to
the eyes. Small objects can become airborne
as the air spray contacts them.
Respirator.
Always wear a respirator when
spraying and spray in a well-ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
Preparing for Operation
Make sure that any regular maintenance has
been performed as prescribed in
“Maintenance & Repair”
section.
1.Refer to the engine Owner’s Manual for
engine maintenance instructions.
2.Drain receiver tank of any moisture.
3.Inspect for oil leaks.

5.Ensure the area around compressor is free
from rags, tools, debris and flammable or
explosive materials.
Check/Add Oil to the Engine and Pump

for pump oil level. Add oil as needed. A low oil
shutdown feature prevents the engine from
starting without sufficient oil.
