Description
Air compressor units are intended to provide compressed air to power pneumatic
tools and operate spray guns. The pumps supplied are oil lubricated. A small
amount of oil carryover is present in the compressed air stream. Applications
requiring air free of oil or water should have the appropriate filter installed. The
air compressor unit must be mounted on a solid floor or solid ground. Any other
use of these units will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not be respon-
sible for problems or damages resulting from such misuse.
