How to prevent it
• Air obtained directly from the com-
pressor 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

• Always place compressor on a
protective mat when transport-
ing to protect against damage to
vehicle from leaks. Remove com-
pressor from vehicle immediately
upon arrival at your destination.
