A battery contains sulfuric acid and can give off
gases which are corrosive and potentially explosive.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. In case of
contact, flush area immediately with water.
Exercise extreme caution when using booster
battery. To jump battery, connect ends of one
booster cable to the positive (+) terminal of each
battery. Connect one end of other cable to the
negative (–) terminal of the booster battery and other
end to a ground connection away from dead battery
(to avoid a spark occurring near any explosive gases
that may be present). After starting unit, always
disconnect cables in reverse order.
This machine may include such materials as oil,
diesel fuel, antifreeze, brake fluid, oil/air filters and
batteries which may require proper disposal when
performing maintenance and service tasks. Contact
local authorities for proper disposal of these
materials.
High Pressure Air can cause serious injury or death.
Relieve pressure before removing filler plugs/caps,
fittings or covers.
Air pressure can remain trapped in air supply line
which can result in serious injury or death. Always
carefully vent air supply line at tool or vent valve
before performing any service.
This machine produces loud noise with the doors
open or service valve vented. Extended exposure to
loud noise can cause hearing loss. Always wear
hearing protection when doors are open or service
valve is vented.
Never inspect or service unit without first
disconnecting battery cable(s) to prevent accidental
starting.
Do not remove the pressure cap from a HOT
radiator. Allow radiator to cool down before
removing pressure cap.
Do not use petroleum products (solvents or fuels)
under high pressure as this can penetrate the skin
and result in serious illness. wear eye protection
while cleaning unit with compressed air to prevent
debris from injuring eye(s).
Disconnected air hoses whip and can cause serious
injury or death. Always attach a safety flow restrictor
to each hose at the source of supply or branch line
in accordance with OSHA Regulation 29CFR
Section 1926.302(b).
Hot pressurized fluid can cause serious burns. Do
not open radiator while hot.
Rotating fan blade can cause serious injury. Do not
operate without guard in place.
Use care to avoid contacting hot surfaces (engine
exhaust manifold and piping, air receiver and air
discharge piping, etc.).
Ether is an extremely volatile, highly flammable gas.
USE SPARINGLY! Do NOT use ETHER if unit has
GLOW Plug starting aid. Engine damage will result.
Never allow the unit to sit stopped with pressure in
the receiver–separator system. As a precaution,
open the manual blowdown valve.
Never operate unit with guards, covers or screens
removed. Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, blow gun
tips, etc. well away from moving parts.
Make sure wheels, tires and tow bar connectors are
in safe operating condition and tow bar is properly
connected before towing.
Whenever the machine is stopped, air will flow back
into the compressor system from devices or systems
downstream of the machine unless the service valve
is closed. Install a check valve at the machine
service valve to prevent reverse flow in the event of
an unexpected shutdown when the service valve is
open.
