INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE

DANGER: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
What can happen
It is normal for electrical contacts
within the motor and pressure
switch to spark.
If electrical sparks from compressor
come into contact with flammable
vapors, they may ignite, causing
fire or explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor
ventilation openings will cause
serious overheating and could
cause fire.
Unattended operation of this
product could result in personal
injury or property damage.
To reduce the risk of fire, do
not allow the compressor to
operate unattended.

CAUTION: RISK FROM NOISE
What can happen
Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
how to prevent it
Always operate the compressor
in a well ventilated area free of
combustible materials, gasoline, or
solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least 20 feet
(6.1 m) away from spray area.
An additional length of hose may
be required.
Store flammable materials
in a secure location away
from compressor.
Never place objects against or on
top of compressor pump.
Operate compressor in an open
area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away
from any wall or obstruction that
would restrict the flow of fresh air
to the ventilation openings.
Operate compressor in a clean,
dry well ventilated area. Do not
operate unit indoors or in any
confined area.
Always remain in attendance with
the product when it is operating.
Always turn off and unplug unit
when not in use.
how to prevent it
Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
hearing protection.

DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING
(Asphyxiation)
What can happen
The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may
contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors, or solid particles from
the air tank. Breathing these
contaminant's can cause serious
injury or death.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers,
may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.

WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed (for units
with air tanks greater than 6 inch / 152 mm diameter) according to
ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected
once every two years.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and
result in a violent air tank explosion:
What can happen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
Unauthorized modifications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air
tank pressure.
Attachments & accessories:
how to prevent it
Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air for human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and
in-line safety equipment must be
properly installed. In-line filters
and safety equipment used in
conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air
to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
how to prevent it
Drain air tank daily or after each
use. If air tank develops a leak,
replace it immediately with
a new air tank or replace the
entire compressor.
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 air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
