SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

1.Your Warranty is voided if:

a.You do not put compressor oil in the Compressor’s crankcase prior to its first use. Before each use, check the oil level. Never run the Compressor with low or no compressor oil. Running the Compressor with low or no oil will perma- nently damage the unit.

b.You drop the Air Compressor. Always lift the Air Compressor using its Handle.

2.Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air Compressor. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace- ment.

3.This Air Compressor is NOT equipped and should not be used “as-is” to supply breathing quality air. For any application of air for human consumption, you must fit the Air Compressor with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment (not in- cluded). This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1-1966, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA). In the event the Air Compres- sor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties are void, and Harbor Freight Tools disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury, or damage.

Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.

5.Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could result. Any tube, pipe, or hose used must have a pressure rating higher than 150 PSI. Minimum recommended pipe size: Up to 50 feet long use 1/2” diameter. Greater than 50 feet use 3/4” diameter. Larger diameter pipe is always better.
