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.
Never operate compressor
without a beltguard. This
unit can start automatically without
warning. Personal injury or property
damage could occur from contact with
moving parts.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that will get caught in the
moving parts of the unit.
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.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/
motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease.
An ASME code
safety relief valve
with a setting no higher than 200 psi
for twostage compressors or 150 psi
for single stage compressors MUST
be installed in the air lines or in the
tank for this compressor. The ASME
safety valve must have sufficient flow
Two-Stage Air
®
and pressure ratings to protect the
pressurized components from bursting.
The flow rating can be found in the
parts manual. The maximum safe
pressure rating for the pump is 200 psi
(two-stage) or 150 psi (single stage).
The safety valve in the intercooler does
not provide system protection.
Maximum operating
pressure is 175 psi
for two-stage compressors and 135 psi
for single stage compressors. Do not
operate with pressure switch or pilot
valves set higher than 175 psi (two-
stage) or 135 psi (single stage).
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
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, cracked or damaged
tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust
and debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.

17. Use a face mask/respirator
when spraying and spray
in a well ventilated area
to prevent health and fire
hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation on
the compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Installation
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source then release
all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate
or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move
unit without
appropriately rated equipment. Be sure
the unit is securely attached to lifting
device used. Do not lift unit by holding
onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit
to lift other attached equipment.
Never use the wood
shipping skids for
mounting the com
pressor.
Install and operate unit at least 24 in.
from any obstructions in a clean, well
ventilated area. The surrounding air
temperature should not exceed 100° F.
This will ensure an unobstructed flow
of air to cool compressor and allow
adequate space for maintenance.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
