WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
What Can Happen How to Prevent It
Your compressor is powered
by electricity. Like any other
electrically powered device, if it
is not used properly it may cause
electric shock.
Repairs attempted by unqualified
personnel can result in serious
injury or death by electrocution.
Electrical Grounding:
Failure to provide adequate
grounding to this product could
result in serious injury or death
from electrocution. Refer to
grounding instructions
paragraph in the Installation
section.
Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor
to inflate small low pressure objects
such as children's toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate
tires can fill small tires very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air
supply to no more than the rating
of the tire pressure. Add air in small
increments and frequently use the
tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or in wet
conditions.
Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or
damaged.
Any electrical wiring or repairs
required on this product should be
performed by authorized service
center personnel in accordance with
national and local electrical codes.
Make certain that the electrical
circuit to which the compressor is
connected provides proper electrical
grounding, correct voltage and
adequate fuse protection.
