IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  

Read and understand the operator’s manual and all safety alerts before 

operating or maintaining your Compressor. Be certain that everyone operating this 
equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures 
and follows all the safety precautions. Never let children or untrained adults operate 
the machine.

_______________________________________________________________________________ 

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 flammable solvents, 
they may ignite, causing a fire or an explosion.  Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area as far 
from spray area as possible. 

RISK OF BURSTING

Air under pressure will cause injury, death or property damage. Do not exceed pressure rating. Safety relief 
valve settings must not be changed, check regularly for proper operation. Do not weld, drill or modify 
compressor tank; it can severely impair tank strength and cause extremely hazardous conditions. Any 
adjustment by user will void the warranty. 

RISK OF INJURY

Do not operate with belt guard removed. Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing belt guard for 
compressor servicing. Belt guard must be fastened in place before starting the compressor. 

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

All electrical enclosures, cables, wiring and components must be installed and grounded in accordance with 
national and local electrical code. 
 

ALL WIRING MUST BE DONE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

Failure to comply could result 

in personal injury or damaged components.
