General Safety Information

caLIFOrnIa PrOPOSItIOn 65

This product or its

power cord may

contain chemicals, including lead,
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

You can

create

dust when you cut, sand,
drill or grind materials
such as wood, paint, metal,
concrete, cement, or other masonry.
This dust often contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm. Wear
protective gear.

GeneraL SaFety
Since the air compressor and other
components (material pump, spray
guns, 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 United
States, the 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
unit.

6. Do not stand on or use the 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 vibrate abnormally, 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.

An ASME code

safety relief valve

with a setting no higher than 125 psi
MUST be installed in the tank for this
compressor. The ASME safety valve
must have sufficient flow and pressure
ratings to protect the pressurized
components from bursting.

See compressor

specification decal

for maximum operating pressure.
Do not operate with pressure switch
or pilot valves set higher than the
maximum operating pressure.

12. Never attempt to adjust ASME

safety valve. Keep safety valve
free from paint and other
accumulations.

Never use plastic

(PVC) pipe for

compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.

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, cracked or damaged
tanks.

Drain liquid from

tank daily.

13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,

which weakens the tank. Make
sure to drain tank regularly and
inspect periodically for unsafe
conditions such as rust formation
and corrosion.

14. Fast moving air will stir up dust

and debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.

SPrayInG PrecaUtIOnS

Do not

spray

flammable materials in
vicinity of open flame
or near ignition sources
including the compressor unit.

15. Do not smoke when spraying paint,

insecticides, or other flammable
substances.

16. Use a face mask /

respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire
hazards.

17. 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.

18. When spraying or cleaning with

solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.

Introduction

Refer to Figure 4 to locate the
following items.
On / OFF Switch ( I / O ) - Push
