This air compressor is shipped from the manufacturer in a carefully packed carton. If you discover the machine is damaged after you have signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need assistance determining whether you need to file a freight claim, or with the procedure to file one, please contact our Customer Service at (570)
The Model H4517/H4518 represents a heavy load at 60 pounds. Seek assistance before moving.
Long term exposure to this machine may cause hearing loss. Wear approved hearing protection while operating this machine to minimize this risk!
When determining where to set up the air compressor in the shop or when taking the air compressor to a job site, the most important consideration is access to an adequate and properly fused power sup- ply. Refer to Circuit Requirements for the needs of your particular compressor.
Also, make sure the compressor is not operating in an environment where there are explosives, flammable or caustic fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated area is best for safe operation.
Place the compressor on a solid and level surface. Make sure that the hoses you attach to your pneumatic device will be unrestricted in movement and not subject to being run over by vehicles or punctured by any sharp objects in the area.
Since air compressors are often used for a sustained period of time, sometimes in restricted areas, it is also best to wear ear protection to avoid long term exposure to the sound of the electric motor and piston.
Do not place the compressor next to any flammable liquids or gas! The compressor cylinder head and feed pipe can reach high temperatures and could cause the flammable gas to ignite. Keep work area clear from flammable gas when using the com- pressor.
