TILATED AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,

 

 

 

 

GASOLINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS.

 

IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRESSOR COME

 

 

IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, LOCATE COM-

 

 

 

PRESSOR AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY

 

INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY

 

 

 

 

 

AREA. AN ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE

 

MAY IGNITE, CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

 

 

 

 

 

REQUIRED.

TION AWAY FROM COMPRESSOR.

 

RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR VENTILA-

 

 

NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON TOP OF

 

TION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS OVERHEATING

 

 

COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN AN OPEN
