General Safety
Information
This
product
or its power cord contains lead, a
chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Since the air compressor and other
components (filters, lubricators, hoses,
etc.) used, make up a high pressure
pumping system, the following safety
precautions must be observed at all
times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the US, National
Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
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.
Motors, electrical equipment
and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite
a flammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair the unit near a
flammable gas or vapor. Never store
flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may be hot
even if the unit is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or attempt to
adjust safety valve. Keep
safety valve free from paint
and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding,
drilling or any other
modification will weaken the tank
resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
Drain
liquid
from tank daily.
12. 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.
13. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
This
product or its power cord contains
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not
spray
flammable materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Assembly
LUBRICATION
THIS
UNIT IS
SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL! Follow
lubrication instructions before
operating compressor.
Use oil shipped with the compressor.
Do not use regular automotive oil
such as 10W-30. Additives in regular
motor oil can cause valve deposits and
reduce pump life. For maximum pump
life, drain and replace oil after the first
few hours of run time.
The compressor pump takes approxi-
mately 380 ml (13 ozs.) of oil. The sight
glass, located on the crankcase portion
of the pump, is marked with “max”
and “min” levels. Avoid overfilling by
