WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed, result-
ing in property damage or personal injury. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other
people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank
before attempting maintenance, attaching
tools or accessories.
HAZARD
HAZARD
Drain tank daily or after each use. If tank
develops a leak, replace it immediately
with a new tank or replace the entire com-
pressor. Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure.
Never drill into, weld, or make any modifi-
cations to the tank or its attachments.
Excessive vibration can weaken the air
tank and cause rupture or explosion The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make adjust-
ments or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum allowable
pressure rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low pres-
sure objects such as children’s toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc. ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and
could result in serious injury.
