Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and/or property damage. 

Read and understand all of the warnings and safety instructions provided before using this equipment. 

 

 

 

NOTICE 

The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 Amp circuit. If the 
circuit does not have 15 free Amps available, a larger circuit must be used. 
Always use more air hose before utilizing extension cords. All extension cords 
used must be 12 gauge with a maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type 
must be a time delay. Low Voltage could cause damage to the motor. 

Risk of Moving Parts

 

If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be attached 
or installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged, do not operate 
the equipment until the proper personnel has correctly  
repaired the equipment. The power cord should be free of any moving parts, 
twisting and/or crimping while in use and while in storage. 

Risk of Burns 

There are surfaces on your air compressor that, while in operation and 
thereafter, can cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be 
allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items such as the 
compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot during and after 
operation. 

Risk of Falling 

Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is stable. 
Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position that could 
allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. Use additional air hose for elevated 
jobs. 

Risk from Flying Objects 

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when the 
air compressor is in use. Turn off the air compressor and drain the air tank 
before performing any type of maintenance or disassembly of the hoses or 
fittings. Never  point  any  nozzle or sprayer toward  any  part  of the body or 
at other people or animals.
