16. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS AND AIR LEAK. Before further use of the compressor, a guard or other part is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, air leak, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
33. THE SAFETY VALVE MUST WORK PROPERLY. Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely. If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
EXTENSION CORD Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the compressor’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
