The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If
the circuit does not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be
used. Always use more air hose before utilizing extension cords. All exten-
sion cords used must be 12 gauge with a maximum length of 25 ft. The
circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could cause damage to
the motor.
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be
attached or installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged,
do not operate the equipment until the proper personnel has correctly re-
paired the equipment. The power cord should be free of any moving parts,
twisting and/or crimping while in use and while in storage.
There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and
thereafter can cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be
allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items such as
the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and after
operation.
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is
stable. Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that
could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. Use additional air hose for
elevated jobs.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when
the air compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air
tank before performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the
hoses or fittings. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the
body or at other people or animals.
