4. Risk of Explosion or Fire
Serious injury may occur if a fire is caused by overheating due to
inadequate ventilation or restrictions to any of the compressor’s
ventilation openings. Never place objects against or on top of an air
compressor. Always operate air compressor at least 12 in. away from
any wall or obstruction. Always operate in a clean, dry and well-
ventilated area.
5. Risk of Burn
Serious burn injuries could occur from touching exposed metal parts such
as the compressor head or motor during operation and even after the
compressor is shut down for some time. Never touch any of the exposed
metal parts during operation and for an extended period of time after the
air compressor has shut down. Do not attempt maintenance on the unit
until it has been allowed to completely cool.

keep truck beds clean, etc. Fasten the compressor down securely.
Pressure must be released from the tank before transporting.
