Oilless Compressors
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. 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.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
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.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
Never
attempt to repair or modify a
tank! Welding, drilling or
any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always
replace worn or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank daily and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
13. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
14. Indoor use only.
15. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not
spray flammable materials in
vicinity of open flame or
near ignition sources
including the compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
17. Use a face mask/
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to
prevent health and fire hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could
obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air
inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. 1. Make sure the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for
electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper
use of grounding plug can
result in a possible risk of
electrical shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an external
surface that is green (with or without
yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire damage will result
from inadequate wiring, etc.
