General Safety
Since the air compressor and other components (material pump, spray guns, filters, lubricators, hoses, etc.) used
make up a high pressure pumping system, the following safety precautions must be observed at all times:
• Read all manuals included with this product carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the equipment.
• Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as the United States National Electrical Codes (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the compressor.
• Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.
• Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the unit.
• Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.
• Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.
• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in the moving parts of the unit.
• Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or burns.
MANUAL
Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump and the tank.
BREATHABLE AIR WARNING
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. For any
application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be fitted with suitable in-line
safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet
minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification
G 7.1, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and
alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and the manufacturer disclaims
any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
This compressor is extremely top heavy. Use care when moving the unit around and make
sure the unit is placed on
flat surface when operating.
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never
operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the
compressor.
Never operate compressor without a beltguard. This unit can start automatically without warning. Personal injury
or property damage could occur from contact with moving parts.
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is stopped.
