AIR COMPRESSOR

Improper care could lead to the air tank bursting or 
exploding.

Drain air tank daily or after each use to prevent 
moisture buildup in the air tank.

Rust can weaken the air tank and cause leaks or 
bursting. If rust is detected, replace tank 
immediately. Do not try to repair the air tank by 
welding, drilling or modifying it in any other way. 
These modifications can weaken the air tank and 
cause a hazardous condition.

If air tank develops a leak, replace the air tank 
immediately. Never repair, weld or make 
modifications to the air tank or its attachments.

Never make adjustments to the factory-set 
pressures.

Never exceed manufacturer's maximum-allowable 
pressure rating attachments.

Because of extreme heat, do not use plastic pipe or 
lead tin solder joints for a discharge line.

WARNING

EXPLOSION

Use caution to minimize risk of fire or explosion.

It is normal for the air compressor motor and 
pressure switch to produce sparks while operating. If 
sparks come in contact with vapors from gasoline or 
solvents, they may ignite and cause a fire or 
explosion.

Abrasive tools such as grinders, drills and other 
tools are capable of making sparks that can ignite 
flammable materials.

Always operate the air compressor a safe distance 
away from flammable items. Use in well-ventilated 
areas.

Never exceed the maximum rated pressure.
