 – A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO

    EQUIPMENT.

WARNING:

DANGER:

CAUTION:

WARNING:

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. 

Never spray flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for the motor and pressure switch 

to produce sparks while operating. If sparks come into contact with vapors from gasoline or other 

solvents, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a well–

ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flame are present. 

Keep compressor as far from spray area as possible. Store flammable materials in a secure 

location away from compressor. Equip the area of operation with a fire extinguisher.

RISK OF BURSTING.

Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air 

compressor tank can severely impair tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. 

Welding or modifying the tank in any manner will void the warranty. If tank develops a leak, replace 

it immediately with a new tank or replace the entire compressor.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, as it may 

cause an electric shock. Failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could result in 

serious injury or death from electrocution. Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the 

compressor is connected provides proper electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse 

protection.

RISK OF INJURY.

This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the main power disconnect, and bleed all pressure 

from the system before servicing the compressor, and when the compressor is not in use. Do not 

use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious injury could occur from contact with 

moving parts. Stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating the compressor. Do not use 

the compressor while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 

RISK OF BURSTING.

Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor 

outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the 

tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories. Never use 

compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.

RISK OF BURNS.

High temperatures are generated by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO 

NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool before 

handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times. Do not reach around 

protective shrouds or attempt to maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
