AH.EA HAZARD SAFEGUARDS
Hot Parts Air compressors get hot when
running. Serious burns may re­
sult if touched.
Never touch the compressor, tubing, or
motor during or immediately after operation
of the compressor.
Air Tank Air pressure or mechanical loads
that are higher than design loads
may cause the tank to rupture.
Changes to the air tank structure
will cause the tank to weaken.
Tank rupture or explosion may
occur.
Do not adjust, remove, or defeat the safety
valve. Check the valve from time to time by
pulling the ring on the valve. If the valve is
stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must
be replaced.
Do not adjust, remove, or defeat the pres­
sure switch.
Never use a motor with higher horsepower
rating than the one supplied.
The compressor was not designed to be
powered by a gasoline engine. Do not substi­
tute a gas engine.
Never drill into, weld, or change the lank in
any way.
Electrical Shock This unit is powered by 120 or
240 volts. Always unplug unit prior to doing any main­
tenance or repair.
Never use the unit outdoors when it is rain­
ing.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet
with the specified voltage and adequate fuse
protection.
Use of unsuitable solvents TTie solvents 1,1,1 -Trichlofoeth-
ane and Methylene Chloride can
chemically react with aluminum
used in paint spray guns, paint
pumps, etc. and cause an explo­
sion. These solvents can also
react with galvanized compo­
nents and cause corrosion and
weakening of parts.
Flammable vapors
This hazard does not affect your compres­
sor outfit - but it may affect the equipment
used with the outfit. Read the label or data
sheet for the material you intend to spray.
Equipment containing aluminum or gal­
vanized parts that will come in contact with
these solvents, and that can contain pres­
sure, must not be used with these solvents.
Vbu must either change the material, or use
only stainless steel spray equipment.
A spark from the motor or pre­
sure switch electrical contacts
can Ignite flammable vapors
from gasoline or solvents, and
cause an explosion or fire.
The compressor and any other electrical
tool must only be used In well ventilated
areas, free of gasoline or solvent vapors.
