WARNING
Risk of Fire or Explosion.
Never spray flammable liquids in confined area. It is normal for the
motor and pressure switch to produce sparks while operating. If sparks
come into contact with vapors from gasoline or other solvents, they may
ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always operate the compressor in a
well-ventilated area. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray where
sparks or flame are present. Keep compressor as far from spray area as
possible.
WARNING
Risk of Bursting.
• Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding
or modifications on the air compressor tank can severely impair tank
strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition. Welding or
modifying the tank in any manner will void the warranty.
• Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and
accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as
to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool. Relieve all
pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories.
• Do not adjust the relief valve for any reason. Doing so voids all
warranties. The relief valve has been pre-set at the factory for the
maximum pressure of this unit. Personal injury and/or property
damage may result if the valve is tampered with.
• Do not use plastic or pvc pipe for compressed air. Use only
galvanized steel pipe and fittings for compressed air distribution lines.

safety
WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock.
Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a
wet surface, as it may cause an electric shock.
WARNING
Risk of Injury.
This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the main power
disconnect, and bleed all pressure from the system before servicing
the compressor, and when the compressor is not in use. Do not use
the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious injury could
occur from contact with moving parts. Stay alert and watch what you
are doing when operating the compressor. Do not use the compressor
while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
WARNING
Risk of Burns.
High temperatures are generated by the pump and manifold. To prevent
burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer
tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool before handling or
servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times.
WARNING
Risk of Breathing.
Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic ma-
terials, and follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there
is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read all instructions
and be sure that your respirator mask will protect you. Never directly
inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor it is not suitable
for breathing purposes.

safety
CAUTION
1. Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A clean, dry tank
will help prevent corrosion.
2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the valve
is functioning properly, and to clear the valve of any possible
obstructions.
3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be
kept a minimum of 12 inches (31 cm) from the nearest wall, in a
well-ventilated area.
4. To prevent damage to tank and compressor on stationary models,
the tank must be shimmed to the pump base is level within 1/8” to
distribute oil properly. All feet must be supported, shimming where
necessary, prior to attaching to the floor. Fasten all feet to floor. We
also recommend the use of vibration pads (094-0137) under tank
feet.
5. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is necessary.
Pressure must be released from the tank before transporting.
6. Protect the air hose from damage and puncture. Inspect them
weekly for weak or worn spots, and replace if necessary.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.
