Operating Precautions

1. 

CARbON MONOxIDE HAzARD 

Using an engine indoors CAN KILL 

YOU IN MINUTES. 

Engine exhaust contains carbon 

monoxide.  This is a poison you cannot 

see or smell. 

NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors 

and windows are open. 

Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, 

and vents.

2.  Keep children away from the equipment, especially 

while it is operating. 

3.  Fire Hazard! Do not fill gas tank while Compressor 

engine is running. Do not operate if gasoline has been 

spilled. Clean spilled gasoline before starting engine. 

Do not operate near pilot light or open flame.

4.  Do not touch Compressor engine during use. Let 

engine cool down after use. 

5.  Never store fuel or other flammable materials near 

the Compressor engine.

6.  Only use a suitable means of transport and lifting 

devices with sufficient weight bearing capacity when 

transporting the Compressor.

7.  Secure the Compressor on transport vehicles to 

prevent the tool from rolling, slipping, and tilting.

8.  Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

9.  Do not leave the equipment unattended when it is 

running.  Turn off the equipment (and remove safety 

keys, if available) before leaving the work area.

10. Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses, hearing 

protection, and NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator 

under a full face shield along with steel-toed work boots 

during use.

11.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 

close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause 

pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.  Caution 

is necessary when near the engine’s magneto or 

recoil starter.

12. Use only accessories that are recommended by Harbor 

Freight Tools for your model.  Accessories that may 

be suitable for one piece of equipment may become 

hazardous when used on another piece of equipment.

13. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such 

as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or 

dust.  Gasoline-powered engines may ignite the dust 

or fumes.

sense when operating this piece of equipment.  Do not 

use this piece of equipment while tired or under the 

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

all times.  This enables better control of the equipment 

in unexpected situations.

Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.  

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in 

moving parts.
