_ WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published
Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several
factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations,
field modifications, and the level of maintenance• The exact effect of these factors on air
receiver life is difficult to predict•
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the
air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to
suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers•
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your
tank warning label•
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air
tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain condensed water Drain air tank daily or after each use, If air

valve or any other components which
• Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to repair a
damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with
a new air tank.
The aY tank is designed to withstand
specific operating pressures. Never make
Contro! air tank pressure, adjustments or parts substitutions to alter
the factory set operating pressures.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, I_
spray guns, air operated accessories, tires, I
and other inflatables can cause them to J
explode or fly apart, and could result in J
serious injury,
Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed the
maximum allowable pressure rating of

INSTALLATION
How To Set Up Your Unit
LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area•
The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other
obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling• The
ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating
temperature• Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings•
Grounding Instructions (Fig. 1)
J_ WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug (A).
1. The cord set and plug (A) with this unit contains a grounding pin (B). This plug MUST be
used with a grounded outlet (C).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances•
2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See figure 1.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage•
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician•
,_ DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
