When installing or moving the compressor

WARNING
This compressor is extremely top heavy. The
compressor must be bolted to the floor with
vibration pads before operating to prevent
equipment damage, injury or death. Do Not
tighten bolts completely as this may
cause stress to the tank welds.
To reduce the risk of a dangerous
environment
1. Keep work area well lit.
2. Operate compressor in a well-ventilated
area free from flammable liquids and vapors.
3. Operate compressor in a ventilated area so
that compressor may be properly cooled and
the surrounding air temperature will not be
more than 100°F.
4. Never use a compressor in a wet
environment.
5. Protect material lines and air lines from
damage or puncture. Keep hose and
wires away from sharp objects, chemical
spills, oil, solvents and wet floors.
WARNING
Do Not secure compressor with toggle bolts
into drywall. Drywall sheeting or plaster will not
support the weight of the compressor.

Inspect your work area
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
2. The floor must not be slippery from wax or
dust.
6. A minimum clearance of 18 inches between
the compressor and a wall is required
because objects could obstruct airflow.
7. The compressor should be located where it can
be directly wired to a circuit breaker. The
compressor should be wired by a qualified
electrician.
8. Never store flammable liquids or gases in
the vicinity of an operating compressor.
9. Do Not locate the compressor air inlet near
steam, paint spray, sandblasting areas or
any other source of contamination. The
debris could damage the motor and pump.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.
Never use the shipping skid for mounting the
compressor.
This compressor is not intended for outdoor
installation.
Never install a shut off valve between the compres-
sor pump and tank. Personal injury and/or
equipment damage could occur.
