DIsConneCtInG Hoses
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Remove hose(s) from air outlet(s) (G).
Lubrication and oil
enGIne
1. The engine was filled
WItH oil at the manufacturer. Check engine
oil level before operating unit. If necessary, fill engine to the
appropriate level with recommended oil, see engine's instruction
manual supplied by engine manufacturer for correct procedure.
2. Add fuel to engine. See engine's instruction manual supplied by
engine manufacturer for correct procedure.
WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire. Gasoline vapor is highly
flammable. Refuel outdoors preferably, or only in well-ventilated
areas. Do not refuel or check gasoline level while the engine is
running. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame,
a source of sparks (such as welding), or near operating electrical
equipment.
AIr CoMPressor
The air compressor pump was filled
WItH oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump oil under Maintenance.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be
compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.
note: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
WARNING: Risk of breathing. Exhaust from the gasoline engine
contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic.
Operate engine only in well ventilated areas.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. In order to avoid damaging
the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10º
when operating.
Place air compressor at least 4 ft (1.2 m) away from obstacles that
may prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas that have
dirt, vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere which may clog and
gum up the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.
HuMID AreAs
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external
condensation on the pump when it cools down and a “milky”
appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture
from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for
longer intervals.
noIse ConsIDerAtIons
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts
or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle
walls. Contact a D e WALT service center or call 1-800-4-D e WALT for
assistance.
