compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that
a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line
filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is
required.
NOTICE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil
vapor when spraying paint.
Location
DANGER: Risk of breathing. Exhaust from the gasoline engine
contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic.
Operate engine only in well ventilated areas.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. In order to avoid damaging
the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than
10º when operating.
Place air compressor at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from obstacles
that may prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas
that have dirt, vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere
which may clog and gum up the intake filter and valves, causing
inefficient operation.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are
external condensation on the pump when it cools down and
a "milky" appearance in
to prevent moisture from forming in the pump by increasing
ventilation or operating for longer intervals.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise
compressor oil. You may be able
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration
mounts or silencers, relocate the unit or baffle walls. Contact a
D
WALT service center or call 1-888-895-4549 for assistance.
