SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS
COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3. BREATHING PROTECTION: Always use a respirator when spraying paint
or chemicals.
4. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Keep dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
5. NEVER USE THIS EQUIPMENT if it is leaking air; has missing or damaged
parts, guards, or shields; or requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps
are securely tightened.
6. DO NOT USE THE AIR HOSE to move the compressor. Release the
pressure in the storage tank before moving.
7. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENT with the
compressor in operation, the power connected, or air under pressure in the
system.
8. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines that are running.
9. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Make frequent inspections for the correct
function of components and safety mechanism.
10. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts and fasteners recommended by us.
11. EMPLOYERS must enforce compliance with the safety warnings and all
other instructions in this manual. Keep it available for use by everyone
assigned to use this equipment.
 TANK SAFETY VALVE: This valve prevents damage to the air receiver if a
malfunction in the compressor pump occurs. It is factory pre-set at a limit
specific to your particular model and adjustment. Do not tamper with it. This
will automatically void your warranty.
 PRESSURE SWITCH: The air pressure switch is factory pre-set for
optimum performance. Do not bypass or remove this switch. Serious
damage to equipment or personal injury could result from too high an air
pressure.
 MOTOR AND COMPRESSOR PUMP: Air compressors get hot during
operation. Do not touch the motor, discharge tubing, or compressor while it
is running. The compressor turns itself on automatically while the power is
connected.
 AIR TANKS: Over-pressurizing the air receivers, piping or tanks could
cause it to explode or burst. To protect from over-pressurizing, the
compressor is equipped with a factory preset safety valve. Do not remove,
make adjustments to or substitutions for this valve. Perform a test of the
valve from time to time: pull the ring on the valve to make sure that it
operates freely. If the valve does not operate freely, replace it before further
use. Never weld to, drill into, or change the air receivers in any way.
 TAMPERING: If any of the components above are found to have been
changed or tampered with, the warranty will be made void. When servicing,
we recommend using only identical replacement parts and any replacement
parts used must have the same specification as the original equipment.
