1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
RISK OF BURNS.
High temperatures are generated by
the gasoline engine, transfer tube, and the pump. To
prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch these
items while the engine is running. Allow them to cool
before handling or servicing. Keep children away from
the compressor at all times.
5.
RISK TO BREATHING.
Be certain to read all labels
when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and
follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if
there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying.
Read all instructions and be sure that your respirator
mask will protect you. Never directly inhale the
compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not
suitable for breathing purposes.
6.
RISK OF EYE INJURY.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1
approved safety goggles when using an air compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or
any part of the body. Equipment can cause serious injury
if the spray penetrates the skin.
7.
RISK OF BURSTING.
Do not adjust the relief valve for
any reason. Doing so voids all warranties. The relief
valve has been pre-set at the factory for the maximum
pressure of this unit. Personal injury and /or property
damage may result if the relief valve is tampered with.
8.
RISK OF BURSTING.
Do not use plastic or pvc pipe
for compressed air. Use only gavanized steel pipe
and fittings for compressed air distribution lines.
9.
RISK TO HEARING.
Always wear hearing protection
when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may
result in hearing loss.
10.
RISK TO BREATHING.
Risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and deadly poison. DO NOT operate in an
enclosed area. DO NOT mount or operate in an
enclosed vehicle, such as a van.
11.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Never operate the
gasoline engine without the muffler properly installed;
doing so allows hot engine exhaust or sparks to vent
directly toward the gasoline tank.
12.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Gasoline is
flammable and gasoline vapors are explosive.
Sparking or heat from engine, or from other sources,
can ignite gasoline.
– DO NOT start or operate with fuel cap removed.
– DO NOT refuel while engine is running or still hot.
– DO NOT overfill the tank––there should be no fuel
in the filler neck.
– DO NOT start or operate if spilled gasoline or
smell of gasoline is present.
– Operate and refuel only in a well–ventilated area.
– DO NOT store where gasoline vapors can reach:
– an open flame
– a pilot light, such as in a stove, furnace or water
heater
– a spark.
1.
Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A clean,
dry tank will help prevent corrosion.
2.
Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the
valve is functioning properly, and to clear the valve of any
possible obstructions.
3.
To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor
must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31 cm) from the
nearest wall, in a well–ventilated area.
4.
To prevent damage to tank and compressor on stationary
models, the tank must be shimmed so the pump base is
level within 1/8” to distribute oil properly. All feet must be
supported, shimming where necessary, prior to attaching
to the floor. Fasten all feet to floor. We also recommend
the use of vibration pads (094-0137) under tank feet.
5.
Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is
necessary. Pressure must be released from the tank
before transporting.
6.
Protect the air hose and electric cord from damage and
puncture. Inspect them weekly for weak or worn spots,
and replace if necessary.
7.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to
rain. Store indoors.
