Safety Instructions (continued)
Compressor parts may 
be hot even if the unit is stopped.
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 warning of trouble.
NEVER refuel a running
or hot engine. Explosive fuel can cause fires and severe burns. Avoid overfilling 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.
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.
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
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.
Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.
14.Do not tamper with governor setting on engine. Overspeeding the unit severely shortens engine life and may also be very hazardous.
Never attempt to repair
or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks.
