Before Using the Air Compressor

Air compressors are utilized in a variety of air system applications. Because air compressors and other components (material pump, spray gun, filters, lubri- cations, hoses, etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the following safety precautions should be observed at all times. Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the air compressor.

!WARNING:

All electrical work should be done by a qualified (licensed or certified) electrician. On a properly wired circuit, the black wires supply a voltage potential even when the unit is off.

1.Read instruction manuals for each component carefully, before attempt- ing to assemble, disassemble or operate your particular system.

2.Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) and use hearing protection when operating the pump or unit. Everyday glasses are not safety glasses.

3.Do not exceed pressure rating of any component in system.

4.Protect material lines and air lines from damage or puncture. Keep hose and power cable away from sharp objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet floors.

5.Never point a spray gun at oneself or any other person. Accidental dis- charge may result in serious injury.

6.Check hoses for weak or worn condi- tion, before each use, making certain all connections are secure; do not use if deficiency is found. Notify an authorized service facility for exami- nation or repair.

7.Release all pressures within system slowly; dust and debris may be harm- ful.

!WARNING:

Disconnect power and depres- surize system before servicing air compressor! (Turn pressure regulator knob fully clockwise after shutting off compressor.)
