WARNING: RISK of Bursting

Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:

Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.

If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.

Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your tank warning label.

The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:

INSTALLATION

How To Set Up Your Unit

Location of the Air Compressor

•Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.

•The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

•The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Grounding Instructions (Fig. 1)

WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.

The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (A).

1.The cord set and plug (A) with this unit contains a grounding pin (B). This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet (C).

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

2.Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See figure 1.

3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

4.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

•Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.

•Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
