merits or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and
could result in serious injury.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped) of your compressor. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum allowable
pressure rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low pres-
sure objects such as children's toys,
footballs, basketballs, etc.
