Oilless Compressors
General Safety Information (Continued)
3.Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the compressor.
4.Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.
5.Wear safety glasses
and use hearing protection when operating the pump or unit.
6.Do not stand on or use the pump or unit as a handhold.
7.Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.
8.Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
! WARNING
Motors, electrical equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
!CAUTION
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is stopped.
9.Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10.If the equipment should start to abnormally vibrate, STOP the engine/motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
11.To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or ! WARNING attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.
!DANGER
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any
other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
! WARNING tank daily.
13.Tanks rust from moisture
14.Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
! WARNING
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including the compressor unit.
15.Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.
16.Use a face mask/ respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards.
17.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 compressor.
18.When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical manufacturer.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the compressor in a clean, well ventilated area where the surrounding air temperature will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor and a wall is required because objects could obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the
! CAUTION compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other source of contamination. This debris will damage the motor.
! CAUTION
Never use an extension
cord with this product. Use STOP! additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to
avoid power loss and permanent motor damage. Use of an extension cord voids the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1.This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 1. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
