Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and/or property damage.
Read and understand all of the warnings and safety instructions provided before using this equipment.
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.
NOTICE
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 Voltage could cause damage to the motor.
Risk of Moving Parts 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.
Risk of Burns 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.
Risk of Falling 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.
Risk from Flying Objects 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
