Air Compressor Safety Warnings - Central Pneumatic 60754 Owner's Manual

Air compressor Safety Warnings

1. Risk of fire or explosion - do not spray flammable
liquid in a confined area or towards a hot surface.
Spray area must be well-ventilated. Do not
smoke while spraying or spray where spark or
flame is present. Arcing parts - keep compressor
at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors,
such as when spraying with a spray gun.
2. Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher
than marked maximum pressure of attachment.
3. Risk of injury - do not direct air
stream at people or animals.
4. Do not use to supply breathing air.
5. Do not leave compressor unattended
for an extended period while plugged in.
Unplug compressor after working.
6. Keep compressor well-ventilated.
Do not cover compressor during use.
7. Drain tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes
tank failure and explosion.
8. Add correct amount of compressor oil before first
use and every use. Operating with low or no oil
causes permanent damage and voids warranty.
9. Do not remove the valve cover or
adjust internal components.
10. Compressor head gets hot during operation.
Do not touch it or allow children nearby during
or immediately following operation.
11. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.
12. Release the pressure in the
storage tank before moving.
13. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
14. All air line components, including hoses, pipe,
connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum
working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the
maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
15. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT
RECOMMENDED. If you choose to use an
extension cord, use the following guidelines:
TABLE A: REcOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE
GAUGE FOR EXTENSION cORDS
(120 VOLT)
NAMEPLATE
AMPERES
(at full load)
25'
0 – 6 18
6.1 – 10 18
10.1 – 12 16
12.1 – 16 14
a. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition.
b. Be sure to use an extension cord which is heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Table A shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
16. Operate unit on level surface. Check oil level
daily and fill to marked level if needed.
17. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
