OPERATION

Air Compressor Operating Location

Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 4). Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator.

The Air Compressor Pump is designed to allow for proper cooling.Ventilation openings on compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. DO NOT place rags or containers on or near these openings. Keep Air Filter clear of obstructions that could reduce airflow to air compressor.

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
