IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS

WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH

TO SPARK.

IF

 ELECTRICAL 

SPARKS

 FROM COMPRESSOR

COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE
VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE, CAUSING FIRE
OR EXPLOSION.

RESTRICTING

 ANY OF THE 

COMPRESSOR

VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERI-
OUS OVERHEATING AND COULD CAUSE
FIRE.

AIR COMPRESSOR IS POWERED BY

ELECTRICITY.

  LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTRI-

CALLY POWERED DEVICE, 

IF IT IS NOT USED

PROPERLY IT MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.

BASKETBALLS. ETC.

ALWAYS 

OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A

WELL VENTILATED 

AREA FREE OF COM-

BUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR SOL-
VENT VAPORS.

IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, 

LO-

CATE COMPRESSOR AT LEAST 20 FEET
AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA.

  AN ADDITIONAL

LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE REQUIRED.

STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A
SECURE LOCATION AWAY FROM COM-
PRESSOR.

NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON
TOP OF COMPRESSOR.  OPERATE COM-
PRESSOR

 IN AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 

12

INCHES AWAY FROM 

ANY  WALL OR

OBSTRUCTION

 THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE

FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE VENTILATION
OPENINGS.
