A CAUTION
I
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or burns.

.
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.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.

A WARNING
I
An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher than the maximum allowable
.
.
working pressure (MAWP) 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.
IA
CAUTION
I
See compressor specific;,tion decal for maximum operating pressure. Do not operate with
pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than the maximum operating pressure.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
I
A WARNING
I
NEVER use plastic (PVC, ABS, or CPVC) pipe for compressed air.
A.DANGER
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
If
air tank develops a leak, replace the air tank immediately. Never
repair, weld, or modify the air tank or attachments. Never make adjustments
to
the factory set
pressures. Never exceed manufacturer's maximum allowable pressure rating of attachements.
NOTICE
Drain liquid from tank daily.
14.
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.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the compressor system
.
IAWARNINGI
WARNING:
Serious injury or death oculd occur from inhaling compressed air. Never inhale air
from the air compressor either directly or from a breathing device connected
to
the air
compressor. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or sold particles.
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including the compressor unit.
Spraying Precautions
IAWARNINGI
WARNING: Risk of fire and explosion. When a combustible liquid is sprayed there can be danger
of fire or explosion, especially in a closed area. Keep the compressor/motor at least 6 meters (18
feet) away from explosive
vapors.
16.
DO NOT spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including the
compressor unit. Keep away from heat, sparks and
flame.
17.
DO NOT smoke. Extinguish all flames and pilot lights and turn off
stoves, heaters,
electric motors, and
other sources of ignition during use and until all vapors are gone.
18. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation. Use only
with adequate ventilation
.
19. Do not breathe dust, vapors, or spray
mist.
Ensure fresh air entry during application and
drying.
If
you experience eye watering, headache or dizziness, wear respiratory protection (NIOSH approved or
equivalent) or leave the area.
20. Follow OSHA and CSA safety regulations for personal protective equipment. Typical equipment may
include safety glasses, respirator, and/or work gloves and is dependent upon the application type,
amount of use and workspace.
