WhAT cAn hAppen

hoW To prevenT iT

• It is normal for electrical contacts within the

motor and pressure switch to spark.

• Always operate the compressor in a

well ventilated area free of combustible

materials, gasoline, or solvent vapors.

• If electrical sparks from compressor come

into contact with flammable vapors, they

may ignite, causing fire or explosion.

• If spraying flammable materials, locate

compressor at least 20' (6.1 m) away from

spray area. An additional length of air hose

may be required.

• Store flammable materials in a secure

location away from compressor.

• Restricting any of the compressor ventilation

openings will cause serious overheating

and could cause fire.

• Never place objects against or on top of

compressor.

• Operate compressor in an open area at

least 12" (30.5 cm) away from any wall or

obstruction that would restrict the flow of

fresh air to the ventilation openings.

• Operate compressor in a clean, dry well

ventilated area. Do not operate unit in any

confined area. Store indoors.

• Unattended operation of this product could

result in personal injury or property damage.

To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow the

compressor to operate unattended.

• Always remain in attendance with the

product when it is operating.

• Always turn off and unplug unit when not in

use.

DANGER: RIsk To BREATHING (AspHyxIATIoN)

WhAT cAn hAppen

hoW To prevenT iT

• The compressed air directly from your

compressor is not safe for breathing. The

air stream may contain carbon monoxide,

toxic vapors, or solid particles from the air

tank. Breathing these contaminants can

cause serious injury or death.

• Never use air obtained directly from the

compressor to supply air for human

consumption. The compressor is not

equipped with suitable filters and in-line

safety equipment for human consumption.

• Exposure to chemicals in dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities may be

harmful.

• Sprayed materials such as paint, paint

solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed

killers, may contain harmful vapors and

poisons.

• Work in an area with good cross ventilation.

Read and follow the safety instructions

provided on the label or safety data sheets

for the materials you are spraying. Always

use certified safety equipment: NIOSH/

OSHA respiratory protection or properly

fit ting face mask designed for use with your

specific application.

WARNING: RIsk of BuRsTING

Air Tank:

On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published

Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several

factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations,

field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air

receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the

air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to

suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your

tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air

tank explosion:

WhAT cAn hAppen

hoW To prevenT iT

• Failure to properly drain condensed water

from air tank, causing rust and thinning of

the steel air tank.

• Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air

tank develops a leak, replace it immediately

with a new air tank or replace the entire

compressor.

• Modifications or attempted repairs to the air

tank.

• Never drill into, weld, or make any

modifications to the air tank or its

attachments. Never attempt to repair a

damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with

a new air tank.

• Unauthorized modifications to the safety

valve or any other components which

control air tank pressure.

• The air tank is designed to withstand

specific operating pressures. Never make

adjustments or parts substitutions to alter

the factory set operating pressures.

ATTAchmenTs & Accessories:

• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,

spray guns, air operated accessories, tires,

and other inflatables can cause them to

explode or fly apart, and could result in

serious injury.

• Follow the equipment manufacturers

recommendation and never exceed the

maximum allowable pressure rating of

attachments. Never use compressor to

inflate small low pressure objects such as

children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.

Tires:

•

over inflation of tires could result in

serious injury and property damage.

• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires

pressure before each use and while inflating

tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire

pressure.

noTe:

Air tanks, compressors and similar

equipment used to inflate tires can fill

small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure

regulator on air supply to no more than

the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in

small increments and frequently use the tire

gauge to prevent over inflation.

INSTALLATION
How To Set Up Your Unit

LocATion of The Air compressor

• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.

• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other

obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The

ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating

temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Grounding Instructions (Fig. 1)

WARNING:

Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the

risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be

properly grounded.

The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an

appropriate grounding plug (A).
1. The cord set and plug (A) with this unit contains a grounding pin (B). This plug MUST be

used with a grounded outlet (C).

imporTAnT:

The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances.

2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

See figure 1.

3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether

the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

DANGER:

Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL

SHOCK.

• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet

should be installed by a qualified electrician.

• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
