INTRODUCTION
The compressor you have purchased is a combination of nearly 100 different components, all of which have been carefully
designed, engineered, and assembled to ensure a long, dependable, trouble-free life. The product has been fully tested at
the factory and has gone through quality-control inspection prior to shipping.
Like any mechanical piece of equipment, it is necessary to fully understand the proper use of its operation and application.
Misuse of this valuable and helpful air-power source may shorten its expected life as well as void the warranty of the entire
unit. We ask you take the time to read this manual to ensure the dependable service you can expect from your C-Aire compressor.
Failure to do so can cause serious injury and may void all warranties.
Please take special notice of the safety precautions and safety information contained in this manual. Compressed air, like
electricity, is a very helpful and necessary tool. However, compressed air can be extremely dangerous and harmful when it is
not understood or is misused.
