Truper COMP-12S, Manual

5

ENGLISH

      • Do not aim the nozzles, sprinklers or the 

air jet towards people or animals.

        • Never inhale the compressed air 

directly from the air compressor. It is not adequate as 

breathing air.

        • Do not adjust the regulator above the 

maximum pressure marked in the accessory. Otherwise, 

the compressor may burst.

• Operate the compressor on a perfectly level surface.

• Keep the compressor well ventilated. Do not cover it 

while its running.

      • The compressor gets hot while running. 

Do not touch it or allow children get close during or 

immediately after using it. Do not user it without the motor 

cover. Work away from flammable objects or liquids.

• The air hose components may get hot during use. Leave 

them to cool down before disconnecting.

• Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.

• Do not leave the compressor connected to the power 

supply if not taking care of it during long periods of time.  

Disconnect the tool after working with it.

• Using accessories not recommended by

                                may result in personal injuries.

• Under the cover, high temperatures are produced, and 

there are moving parts. To prevent burns or other type of 

injuries, do not operate without having the cover in place.  

Give the compressor cooling-down time before handling 

or servicing.

• Do not release any of the connections when the tank is 

under pressure.

                          • The equipment, when operated, may be 

an ignition source. Keep the equipment away at least 18 ft 

away from explosive vapors like gasoline or other solvents.  

Always operate the equipment in a well-ventilated area. Do 

not operate in enclosed areas. Do not smoke while 

spraying. Do not spray in flammable environments.

Keep the compressor as far away as possible from the 

spraying area.

                          • Solvents like trichloroethane and 

methylene chloride may have a chemical reaction with the 

aluminum used in the paint spraying guns, paint pumps, 

etc., and may cause an explosion.  If using those solvents, 

use only stainless-steel spraying equipment.  This will not 

affect the air compressor but may affect the equipment 

being used.

                         •  For any reason, do not carry out 

welding jobs in the compressor air tank because it creates 

a very dangerous situation. If carrying out a welding job in 

the tank, the Warranty is void.

                         • When raining or in wet surfaces, never 

use the compressor outdoors. Danger of electric discharge. 

      • Check the maximum pressure specified 

by the manufacturer for pneumatic tools and accessories. 

The compressor outlet pressure shall be regulated so that 

in never exceeds the maximum specified pressure.

• Keep in place the labels and nameplates. They have 

important safety information. If the labels or nameplates 

cannot be read or are missing, contact a

                                Authorized Service Center to get 

spares.

      • For any reason, do not modify the 

compressor or the release valve. Doing it will make the 

Warranty void.  Those parts are factory adjusted for this 

unit maximum pressure.

      • Double check all the labels in the paint 

or toxic materials you will spray.  Follow the safety 

instructions.  Wear a breathing mask if there is a possibility 

of inhaling the material sprayed. Read the breathing mask 

instructions to make sure it delivers the adequate 

protection.

      • Always wear safety eyeglasses when 

using an air compressor.

• To allow a better cooling ventilation, the compressor shall 

be kept 12” minimum distance away from the closest wall 

and in a well-ventilated area.

• The environment temperature recommended for the 

compressor operation es from 32 °F to 95 °F

Before using the compressor

While operating the compressor

• Remember, the unit starts automatically.  Always turn 

OFF the compressor. Remove the plug from the power 

supply. Purge and release all the pressure from the 

system before servicing or when not in use.

• Periodically drain humidity from the tank. A clean and 

dry tank will help with corrosion.

• Pull the pressure release valve ring daily to make sure it 

works correctly and to remove from the valve any 

obstruction.

• If transporting the compressor, fasten in adequately.  

Release the tank pressure before transporting.

• Protect the air hose and electric cable to detect weak or 

worn out points. Replace if necessary.
