If you need to contact an Authorized Dealer or Customer Service line
(604-545-0252) for information on servicing, always provide the
product model and identication numbers.
You will need to locate the model and serial number for the machine and
record the information in the places provided below.

Receipt and Inspection
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for damage and missing parts. If
damage or missing parts are apparent, make the appropriate notation on the
delivery receipt, then sign the receipt. Immediately contact the carrier for an
inspection. All material must be held in the receiving location for the carrier’s
inspection. Delivery receipts that have been signed without a notation of
damage or missing parts are considered to be delivered “clear.” Subsequent
claims are then considered to be concealed damage claims. Settle damage
claims directly with the transportation company.
If you discover damage after receiving the air compressor (concealed
damage), the carrier must be notied within 15 days of receipt and an
inspection must be requested by telephone with conrmation in writing. On
concealed damage claims, the burden of establishing that the compressor
was damaged in transit reverts back to the claimant. Read the compressor
nameplate to verify it is the model ordered, and read the motor nameplate
to verify it is compatible with your electrical conditions. Make sure electrical
enclosures and components are appropriate.

SAFETY
WARNING
AIR TANK WARNING: Drain liquid from air tank daily, or
after each use, using the drain valve located on the bottom
of the lower air tank. Failure to properly drain liquid from the
tank will cause rust from moisture buildup, which weakens
the tank and could lead to a violent tank explosion.
Periodically inspect the tanks for unsafe conditions such
as corrosion.
Never attempt to repair or make modications to the tank or its attachments.
Welding, drilling or any other modications may weaken the tank, which
may result in damage from rupture or explosion. Never remove or attempt
to adjust the pressure switch, safety valve, or other factory set operating
pressures.
WARNING
FIRE WARNING: Avoid dangerous environments.
Do not use compressor near gasoline or other ammable
materials. Keep work area well lit. Normal sparking of a
motor or sparking from grinding metal could ignite fumes.
Do not spray ammable materials in the vicinity of an open
ame or other ignition source, including the air compressor
itself. Do not direct paint or other spray material towards
the compressor.
Read and follow all safely instructions for the material you are spraying.
Be sure to use an approved respirator designed for use with your specic
application.
WARNING
BREATHABLE AIR WARNING: This air compressor is not
designed, nor intended for the supply of breathable air. Air
produced by this unit may contain carbon monoxide or
other toxic vapors.
Do not inhale air from the compressor or from a breathing device
connected to it.

SAFETY
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK WARNING: When using electric
powered tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to minimize the risk
of electrical shock or personal injury to yourself and others.
This air compressor is powered by electricity and should never be used
without properly grounded electrical connections. Do not use in wet or
damp locations or expose to rain.
WARNING
AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES WARNING: Do not
exceed the pressure rating of any air tools, spray guns,
air accessories, or inatables. Excess pressure can cause
them to explode, resulting in serious injury. Follow the
manufacturers recommended pressure settings for all air
tools and air accessories.
WARNING
Do not direct compressed air stream at people or pets.
The powerful compressed air stream can damage
exposed skin and easily propel loose dirt and other small
objects. Always wear eye protection that meets
ANSI Z28.1 specications.
WARNING
Keep hands and ngers away from exposed metal parts
on a running air compressor. Air compressors generate
signicant heat during normal operation, which can cause
serious burns. The compressor will remain hot for some
time after operation and should not be touched or moved
until cool.

SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not operate unit if damaged during shipping, handling, or use. Damage
may result in bursting and cause injury or property damage.
Since the air compressor and other components (lters, lubricators, hoses,
etc.) used make up a high pressure pumping system, the following safety
precautions must be followed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included with this product carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety codes.
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.
9. Keep ngers 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 sign
of trouble or a aw within the machine.
11. To reduce re hazards, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent,
or excessive grease. Never remove or attempt to adjust safety valve.
Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.
WARNING
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is stopped.
WARNING
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite a ammable gas or vapor.
Never operate or repair in or near a ammable gas or vapor.
Never store ammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the
compressor.

11
SAFETY
WARNING
Do not spray ammable materials in vicinity of open ame
or near ignition sources including the compressor unit.
12. Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other
modication will weaken the tank, resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn or damaged tanks. Drain liquid from tank
daily.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank daily 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
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other ammable
substances.
16. Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated
area to prevent health and re hazards.
17. Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Place the
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.
HOSE PRECAUTIONS
19. Inspect hose before use. Do not exceed working pressure marked on
hose. Do not twist, bend knot, or abrade hose. Do not wrap hose around
body.
20. Keep away from hot surfaces and chemicals.
WARNING
Arcing Parts. Keep the compressor/motor at least 6m away
from explosive vapour.
