manual abstract
• Never attempt to repair or make modifications to the tank or its attachments. Welding, drilling, or any other modifications may weaken the tank, which may result in damage from rupture or explosion. Never remove or attempt to adjust the pressure switch, safety valve, or other components that control tank pressure. Never substitute parts or attempt to alter the factory set operating pressures. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK Disconnect air compressor from power source before servicing. USE PROPERLY grounded ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS — DO NOT use grounding adaptors. Do not use in wet or damp locations or expose to rain. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not allow power cords to come into contact with water. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Do not pull on the electrical cord to disconnect from the power outlet. Store air compressor indoors when not in use. Any electrical wiring or repairs performed on this air compressor should be done by authorized service personnel in accordance with federal and local electrical codes. RISK TO BREATHING • This air compressor is not designed, nor intended for the supply of breathable quality air. Air produced by this unit may contain carbon monoxide or other toxic vapors. Do not inhale air from the compressor or from a breathing device connected to it. • Operate the air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Read and follow all safety instructions for the material you are spraying. Be sure to use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application. RISK OF BURNS Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or exhaust tube can result in serious burns. Keep hands and fingers away from exposed metal parts on air compressor during or immediately after operation. Air compressors generate significant heat during normal operation and will remain hot for some time after use. Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt any maintenance until compressor has been allowed to cool. RISK OF FLYING OBJECTS Do not direct compressed air stream at people or pets. The powerful compressed air stream can damage exposed skin and easily propel loose dirt and other small objects at high-speed, resulting in serious injury. Always wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z28.1 specifications. Use only OSHA approved air blowguns. Never leave a pressurized air compressor unattended. Shut OFF air compressor and relieve pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Do not move the air compressor while the air tank is pressurized. Never attempt to move the air compressor by pulling on the air hose. 4 DANGER RISK OF FALLING Portable air compressors can fall from a table, workbench, or roof causing damage to the compressor and could result in serious injury or death to the operator. Always operate air compressor in a stable and secure position to prevent accidental movement of the unit. Never operate air compressor on a roof or other elevated position. Use additional air hose to reach high locations. RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING COMPRESSOR Oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard, serious injury or death. Oil leaks will damage carpet, paint, or other surfaces in vehicles or trailers. AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES Do not exceed the pressure rating of any air tools, spray guns, air accessories, or inflatables. Excess pressure can cause them to explode, resulting in serious injury. Follow the manufacturers recommended pressure settings for all air tools and air accessories. INSTALLATION AND LOCATION In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10. from the normal horizontal position when operating. The compressor must be run with the rubber feet resting on a flat and stable horizontal surface. The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The compressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20 inches from any walls or other obstructions that may prevent proper ventilation. DO NOT place air compressor in an area: • Where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks. • Where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present. • Where air temperatures fall below 32.F or exceed 104.F. • Where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH COME IN CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, COMBUSTIBLE DUST, GASES OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. WHEN USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR FOR SPRAYING PAINT, PLACE THE AIR COMPRESSOR AS FAR AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA AS POSSIBLE, USING EXTRA LENGTHS OF AIR HOSE TO EXTEND THE WORKING REACH INSTEAD OF EXTENSION CORDS. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugg...
