General Safety
Information
(Continued)
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and use hearing
protection when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
WARNING
!
Motors, electrical
equipment 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.
CAUTION
!
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit
is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or

Welding, drilling or any other
modification will weaken the tank
resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
NOTICE
tank daily.
13. 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.
14. 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
WARNING
!
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
16. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
17. 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.
18. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Assembly

detent) at top of handle. This notch
provides a handy place to hang a spray
gun, sandblast gun, or other tool
equipped with a hook.
1. Insert handle into both sides of tank
baseplate at motor end. Handle must
fit into special openings in baseplate
and must be squeezed by hand to fit.
