RIDGID GP90135 manual Breathable Air Warning, Spraying Precautions

Safety Instructions (continued)

16. Fast moving air will stir up dust and

debris which may be harmful.

repairing or inspecting, make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect

10. Keep fingers away from a running

compressor; fast moving and hot

parts will cause injury and/or burns.

11. If the equipment should start to

vibrate abnormally, STOP the

engine/motor and check immediately

for the cause. Vibration is generally a

repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flam- mable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.

Release air slowly when draining

moisture or depressurizing the com-

pressor system.

17. STOP the engine whenever leaving the

work area, before cleaning, making

repairs or inspections. When cleaning,

the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent acciden- tal starting.

18. Allow engine to cool before storing.

warning of trouble.

!WARNING

NEVER refuel a run- ning or hot engine. Explosive fuel can cause fires and severe burns. Avoid over- filling fuel tank.

12.Check fuel level before starting the engine. Do not fill the gas tank indoors. Wipe off any spilled gas before starting the engine.

!DANGER

!WARNING

Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting or death. Do not operate unit

inside a closed building or a poorly ventilated area.

13.To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, sol- vent, or excessive grease.

!WARNING

Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other

Spraying Precautions

! WARNING

Do not spray flam- mable materials in

vicinity of open

flame or near ignition sources including the compressor unit.

19.Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable sub- stances.

20.Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilat-

ed area to prevent health and fire hazards.

21.Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the spraying area as possible to mini- mize overspray accumulation on the compressor.

22.When spraying or cleaning with sol- vents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemi- cal manufacturer.

Gasoline vapor is highly flam- mable. Refill outdoors or only in well ventilated areas. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame or heat devices such as a stove, furnace, or water heater, which utilize a pilot light, or any device that can create a spark. If gasoline is accidentally spilled, move unit away from the spill area and avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have dissipated.

!WARNING

Motors, electrical equipment and con-

trols can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or

accumulations.

14.Do not tamper with governor setting on engine. Overspeeding the unit severely shortens engine life and may also be very hazardous.

!DANGER

Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling

or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explo- sion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks.

15.Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank daily and inspect periodical- ly for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.

!DANGER

Breathable Air Warning

This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. 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).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
