DRAIN LIQUID FROM AIR TANK DAILY
•Use the drain valve located on the bottom of the lower air tank to drain. Failure to properly drain liquid from the tank will cause rust from moisture buildup, which weakens the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion. Periodically inspect the tanks for unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked welds, and leaks.
•Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the air compressor. Fast moving air will stir up dust, dirt and debris that may be harmful.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not spray combustible/flammable liquid in a confined area. Spray area must be well ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Arcing parts — keep compressor at least 20’ away from spraying area and all explosive vapors. Do not use compressor near gasoline or other flammable materials. Operate the air compressor in a
RISK OF INJURY
Do not direct air stream at body. Use eye protection. Compressor starts automatically. Do not touch MOVING PARTS. Keep guards in place. Compressor does not supply breathable air.
DANGER
RISK OF BURSTING
•Do not adjust regulator to result in output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of attachment. If a regulator has not been installed, use only attachment rated at 200 PSI or higher. Do not weld on or repair tank — A DAMAGED TANK MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. Do not operate without proper safety valve in place.
•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
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
