What can happen

How to prevent it

Oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard, resulting in seri- ous injury or death. Oil leaks can damage carpet, paint or other surfaces in vehicles or trailers.

The compressor (wheeled dolly style unit). is too heavy to be lifted by one person.

Unsecured compressor can move when being transported in a vehicle or trailer, causing personal injury or property dam- age.

Place compressor on protective mat when transporting to protect against damage from leaks. Remove compressor from vehicle upon arrival at destination. Always keep compressor level and never lie on its side.

Use two people to lift the compressor. Lift only from recommended lift points.

Place compressor on flat horizontal sur- face when transporting and secure com- pressor using recommended tie-down points so that it cannot move while being transported.
