NOTE!

Under specific guidelines and in full compliance with OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1920 and any other federal,

operate the compressor only in open or well-ventilated areas.

Carbon monoxide will kill. If the machine is operated indoors, discharge the engine exhaust outdoors and
be certain there are no exhaust system leaks that can discharge exhaust within the building.

Locate the compressor so that exhaust will not be carried toward personnel, air intakes servicing
personnel areas or toward the air intake of any other portable or stationary compressor.

Fuel, oil, coolant, lubricant, and battery electrolyte used in the compressor are typical of the industry.
Care should be taken to avoid accidental ingestion or skin or eye contact. In the event of ingestion or
contact, seek medical treatment promptly. Do not induce vomiting if fuel is ingested. Wash with soap
and water in the event of skin contact.

Wear an acid-resistant apron and a face shield or goggles when servicing the battery. If electrolyte is
spilled on skin or clothing, immediately flush and wash with large quantities of water.

Do not use airline anti-icing systems in airlines supplying respirators or other breathing air utilization
and equipment, and do not discharge air from these systems in unventilated or other confined areas.

Wear goggles or a full face shield when adding anti-freeze compound to air line anti-icing systems. The
anti-freeze compound used in airline anti-icing systems contains methanol and is toxic, harmful, or
fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin or eyes and avoid breathing the fumes. If contact with
eyes, wash eyes with large quantities of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Medical attention should be
obtained immediately. If swallowed, induce vomiting by administering a tablespoon of salt in a glass of
clean, warm water until vomit is clear, then administer two teaspoons of baking soda in a glass of clean

and burns–these may lead to infection.

Keep all loose clothing and parts of the body away from engine and/or compressor intakes or air filter
intakes.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier, compressor hoses, tools, and all personnel at least 10 feet
from power lines and buried cables. Greater separation from power lines may be prudent when working
around high voltage. Contact the utility company for guidance.

Keep all parts of the body, any hand-held tools, or other conductive objects away from exposed live
parts of the compressor electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on insulating surfaces and do not
contact any other portion of the compressor when making adjustments or repairs to exposed live parts
of the electrical system.
