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 extension cords used must be 12 gauge
with a maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low volt-
age 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 repaired 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.
