8.Wiring and fuses should follow electri- cal codes, current capacity, and be properly grounded.

9.Electric motors must be securely and adequately grounded. See grounding instructions and extension cord infor- mation, in this manual.

10. Always disconnect power source

before working on or near a motor, or

its connected load. If power discon-

nect point is out-of-sight, lock it in the

open position and tag to prevent

unexpected application of power.

11. Guard all moving parts; keep visitors

away. Never allow children in work

area.

12. Use only a properly grounded outlet

that will accept a three pronged plug,

and wear shoes to prevent shock

19. Spray in a well ventilated area, to

keep fumes from collecting and caus-

ing health and fire hazards.

20. Do not spray in vicinity of open

flames or other places where a spark

can cause ignition. Do not smoke

when spraying paint, insecticides, or

other flammable substances.

21. Use a respirator when spraying.

22. NEVER reset safety valve or pres-

sure switch. Keep safety valve free

from paint and other accumulations.

2. Use a face mask/respira- tor when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards.

3.Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulation on the com- pressor.

hazards.

13. Be careful when touching exterior of

operating motor; it may be hot

enough to cause injury.

14. Protect power cable from coming in

contact with sharp objects.

15. Clean electrical or electronic equip-

ment with an approved cleaning

agent, such as dry, nonflammable

cleaning solvent.

mable waste materials in a tightly

closed metal container and dispose of

later in the proper fashion.

25. Drain tanks of moisture after each

day’s use. If unit will not be used for a

while, it is best to leave drain cock

open until such time as it is to be

used. This will allow moisture to com-

pletely drain out and help prevent

corrosion of inside of tank.

26. Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes

or any other imperfections that could

cause it to become unsafe. NEVER

weld or drill holes in air tank.

Breathable Air Warning

This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
