Operating Precautions
1. CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. This is a poison you cannot
see or smell.
NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors
and windows are open.
Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors,
and vents.
2. Keep children away from the equipment,
especially while it is operating.
3. Fire Hazard! Do not fill gas tank while Compressor
engine is running. Do not operate if gasoline has
been spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting
engine. Do not operate near pilot light or open flame.
4. Do not touch Compressor engine during
use. Let engine cool down after use.
5. Never store fuel or other flammable
materials near the Compressor engine.
6. Only use a suitable means of transport and
lifting devices with sufficient weight bearing
capacity when transporting the Compressor.
7. Secure the Compressor on transport vehicles to
prevent the tool from rolling, slipping, and tilting.
8. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
9. Do not leave the equipment unattended when it is
running. Turn off the equipment (and remove safety
keys, if available) before leaving the work area.

protection, and NIOSH-approved dust mask/
respirator under a full face shield along

in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker
failure. Caution is necessary when near
the engine's magneto or recoil starter.
12. Use only accessories that are recommended by Harbor
Freight Tools for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one piece of equipment may become
hazardous when used on another piece of equipment.

sense when operating this piece of equipment. Do
not use this piece of equipment while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

balance at all times. This enables better control
of the equipment in unexpected situations.
16. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
17. Parts, especially exhaust system components, get
very hot during use. Stay clear of hot parts.
