GENERAL SAFETy
Since the air compressor and other
components used (filters, lubricators,
hoses, etc .), 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 Codes (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 in or 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

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 .

14 . Indoor use only .
15 . To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not expose to rain . Store indoors .

SPRAyING PRECAUTIONS

Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
