area free from flammable liquids and vapors.
3. Operate compressor in a ventilated area so
that compressor may be properly cooled and
the surrounding air temperature will not be
more than 100°F.
4. Never use a compressor in a wet
environment.
5. Protect material lines and air lines from
damage or puncture. Keep hose and
wires away from sharp objects, chemical
spills, oil, solvents and wet floors.
Do Not secure compressor with toggle bolts
into drywall. Drywall sheeting or plaster will not
support the weight of the compressor.
WARNING 6. A minimum clearance of 18 inches between
the compressor and a wall is required
because objects could obstruct airflow.
7. The compressor should be located where it can
be directly wired to a circuit breaker. The
compressor should be wired by a qualified
electrician.
8. Never store flammable liquids or gases in
the vicinity of an operating compressor.
9. Do Not locate the compressor air inlet near
steam, paint spray, sandblasting areas or
any other source of contamination. The
debris could damage the motor and pump.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.
Never use the shipping skid for mounting the
compressor.
Electric Compressors are not suitable for
outdoor installation.
Gasoline Compressors must be operated
outdoors, sheltered from the weather.

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears
1. Wear safety glasses (meeting ANSI Z87.1 or
in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) and use hearing
protection when operating the unit. Everyday
glasses are not safety glasses.
2. Wear shoes to prevent shock hazards.
3. Tie back long hair.
Keep fingers away from running compressor.
Fast moving and hot parts may cause injury
and/or burns.
1. Follow all local electrical and safety codes,
as well as the National Electric Code (NEC)
and the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
2. Wiring and fuses should follow electrical
codes, current capacity and be properly
grounded.
3. Protect wires from contact with sharp objects.
All electrical connections should be made by
a qualified electrician.
Dress for safety
Be careful when touching the exterior of comp-
ressor, pump, motor and air lines; they may
become hot enough to cause injury.
Never operate the compressor without a
beltguard. The compressor can start auto-
matically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact
with moving parts.
The compressor may be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
Use of a mask or respirator per chemical
manufacturers’ instructions may be neces-
sary if there is a chance of inhaling toxic fumes.
Read mask and respirator instructions care-
fully. Consult a safety expert if you are not
sure about the use of certain masks or
respirators.
Pay attention to your hands
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
When operating
1. Do not exceed the pressure rating of any
component of the system.
2. Release pressure within the system slowly
to prevent flying dust and debris.
3. If the equipment starts to abnormally vibrate,
STOP the compressor immediately and
check for the cause.
WARNING
Never change the safety valve or pressure
switch settings. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations. See compressor
specification decal for maximum operating
pressure. Do not operate with the pressure
switch set higher than the maximum operating
pressure.
Spraying precautions
Page 4
Perform these maintenance operations
1. Do Not spray in the vicinity of open flames
or other places where a spark can cause
ignition. Do Not smoke when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
1. When spraying with solvents or toxic chemi-
cals, follow the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer. Consult a safety
expert if unsure about the use of masks or
respirators.
2. If the material you intend to spray contains
trichloreoethane and methylene chloride, do
not use accessories that contain aluminum or
galvanized materials, as these chemicals can
react with galvanized components causing
corrosion and weakening equipment. Use
stainless steel accessories.
WARNING
Never point a spray gun at yourself or any
other person or animal. Accidental discharge
may result in serious injury.
Reduce the risk of dangerous
environment
WARNING
Extreme caution should be taken when
spraying flammable liquids as the spark from
a motor or pressure switch may cause a fire
or explosion. Ample ventilation must be
provided.
WARNING
Spray in a well ventilated area to keep fumes
from collecting and causing serious injury and
fire hazards.
Be informed about the materials you use
1. Do regular maintenance; keep all nuts, bolts,
and screws tight, to be sure equipment is in
safe working condition.
2. Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes or any
other imperfections that could cause it to
become unsafe.
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.
3. Clean electrical equipment with an approved
cleaning agent, such as a dry, non-flam-
mable cleaning solvent.
Daily
Check oil level at sight glass. Oil level should
be 1/2 to slightly higher in the oil sight glass.
Drain moisture from tank.
Verify the pressure switch unloader is
working by listening for a brief hissing sound
when the compressor shuts off.
Visually check the compressor for loose parts,
excessive noise or vibration. Tighten any
necessary part.
WARNING
4. Drain tanks of moisture after each day’s use.
If unit will not be used for awhile, it is best to
leave the drain cock open until such time as it
is to be used. This will allow moisture to
completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion of inside of tank.
5. Always disconnect from power source before
working on or near a motor, or its connected
load. If power disconnect point is out-of-
sight, secure it in the “OFF” position and tag it
to prevent unexpected application of power.
Disconnect power and depressurize system
before servicing air compressor. Slightly open
drain cock after shutting off compressor.
Monthly
(Make sure the main power is off.) Check the belts
for tension. Belts should not move up and down
when the compressor runs and when stopped,
should not have more than ½ in of play when
depressed. Be careful not to over tighten belts
during adjustment.
Remove and check air filter, replace if necessary.
Change oil every 3 months or 300 hours. A
compressor grade 30 wt non-detergent oil should
be used. 40 wt non-detergent for single stage.
