SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS
TANK SAFETY VALVE: This valve prevents damage to the air receiver if a
malfunction in the compressor pump occurs. It is factory pre-set at a limit
specific to your particular model and adjustment. Do not tamper with it. This
will automatically void your warranty.
PRESSURE SWITCH: The air pressure switch is factory pre-set for optimum
performance. Do not bypass or remove this switch. Serious damage to
equipment or personal injury could result from too high an air pressure.
MOTOR AND COMPRESSOR PUMP: Air compressors get hot during
operation. Do not touch the motor, discharge tubing, or compressor while it is
running. The compressor turns itself on automatically while the power is
connected.
AIR TANKS: Over-pressurizing the air receivers, piping or tanks could cause
it to explode or burst. To protect from over-pressurizing, the compressor is
equipped with a factory preset safety valve. Do not remove, make adjustments
to or substitutions for this valve. Perform a test of the valve from time to time:
pull the ring on the valve to make sure that it operates freely. If the valve does
not operate freely, replace it before further use. Never weld to, drill into, or
change the air receivers in any way.
TAMPERING: If any of the components above are found to have been changed
or tampered with, the warranty will be made void. When servicing, we recom-
mend using only identical Superior replacement parts and any replacement
parts used must have the same specification as the original equipment.
