19. KEEP ALL SCREWS, BOLTS AND COVERS TIGHTLY IN
PLACE.
Keep all screws, bolts, and covers tightly mounted.
Check their conditions periodically.
20. KEEP MOTOR AIR VENT CLEAN.
The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely flow
at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently.
21. OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT THE RATED VOLTAGE.
Operate the compressor at voltages specified on their
nameplates.
If using the compressor at a higher voltage than the rated
voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor revolution and may
damage the unit and burn out the motor.
22. NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE
OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.
If the compressor appears to be operating unusually, making
strange noises or vibration, or otherwise appears defective,
stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs by a Hitachi
authorized service center.
23. DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride,
and alcohol may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe
them with such solvents. Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
24. USE ONLY GENUINE HITACHI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Replacement parts not manufactured by Hitachi may void your
warranty and can lead to malfunction and resulting injuries.
Genuine Hitachi parts are available from your dealer.
25. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR.
Do not modify the compressor. Do not operate at pressure or
speed in excess of manufacturer's recommendations. Always
contact the Hitachi authorized service center any repairs.
Unauthorized modification may not only impair the compressor
performance but may also result in accident or injury to repair
personnel who do not have the required knowledge and technical
expertise to perform the repair operations correctly.
26. PUSH THE KNOB OF PRESSURE SWITCH TO OFF
WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT USED.
When the compressor is not used, push the knob of the
pressure switch OFF, disconnect it from the power source and
open the drain cock to discharge the compressed air from the
air tank.
Repairs should be conducted only by a Hitachi authorized service center.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

27. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE.
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch tubes, heads, cylinder
and motors.
28. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY.
Risk of injury, do not direct air stream at persons or animals.
29. DRAIN TANK.
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a
risk of air tank rupture.
Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use. To drain tank open valve
slowly and tilt compressor to empty accumulated water.
30. DO NOT STOP COMPRESSOR BY PULLING OUT THE
PLUG.
This could result in damage to the unit.
Use the "ON/OFF" knob of pressure switch.
31. MAKE SURE THE COMPRESSOR OUTLET PRESSURE
IS SET LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM OPERATING
PRESSURE OF THE TOOL.
Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
32. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS COMPRESSOR
WITHOUT FIRST ADDING OIL TO THE CRANKCASE.
The compressor is shipped without oil in the crankcase.
Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless
filled with oil and broken in correctly.
Make sure to closely follow initial prior to operation procedures.
33. THE SAFETY VALVE MUST WORK PROPERLY.
Risk of bursting. Before starting the compressor pull the ring on
the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely. If the
safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may
occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
