Important Safety Information (Continued)
Work Area
a.Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
b.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control. NEVER allow children in the work area.
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 or spray flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
c.To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.

servicing. Servicing should be performed by authorized service center.
Use and Care
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could result.
a.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.
b.Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
c.Check air hoses for weak or worn condition before each use. Make sure all connections are secure.
d.Do not stand on or use the pump or unit as a handhold.
e.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.
Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.
f.Do not alter or tamper with the safety relief valve. In the event that the safety relief valve is tampered with, existing warranties shall be voided and Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
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 tank daily.
g.Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion. Tanks rust from moisture
h.Release air slowly when draining moisture or depressurizing the compressor system. Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful.
