operate unattended. Do not operate compressor when you
are tired. Compressor should never be used by you if you
are under the infl uence of alcohol, drugs or medication that
makes you drowsy.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS AND AIR LEAK.
Before further use of the compressor, a guard or other part
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, air leak, and any other
conditions that may aff ect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by a Hitachi authorized service
center.
Have defective pressure switches replaced by a Hitachi
authorized service center.
Do not use compressor if switch does not turn it on and off .
18. NEVER USE COMPRESSOR FOR APPLICATIONS
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED.
Never use compressor for applications other than those
specifi ed in the Instruction Manual.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the application manual.
Never use compressed air for breathing or respiration.
19. HANDLE COMPRESSOR CORRECTLY.
Operate the compressor according to the instructions
provided herein. Never allow the compressor to be
operated by children, individuals unfamiliar with its
operation or unauthorized personnel.
20. KEEP ALL SCREWS, BOLTS AND GUARDS TIGHTLY
IN PLACE.
Keep all screws, bolts, and guards tightly mounted. Check
their conditions periodically.
21. KEEP MOTOR AIR VENT CLEAN.
The motor air vent must be kept clean so that air can freely
fl ow at all times. Check for dust build-up frequently.
22. OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT THE RATED VOLTAGE.
Operate the compressor at voltages specifi ed on their
nameplates.
If using the compressor at a higher voltage than the rated
voltage, it will result in abnormally fast motor revolution and
may damage the unit and burn out the motor.
If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuse,
use time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked
"D" in Canada and "T" in the U.S.

23. NEVER USE A COMPRESSOR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE
OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY.
If the compressor appears to be operating unusually,
making strange noises or vibration, or otherwise appears
defective, stop using it immediately and arrange for repairs
by a Hitachi authorized service center.
24. DO NOT WIPE PLASTIC PARTS WITH SOLVENT.
Solvents such as gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon
tetrachloride, and alcohol may damage and crack plastic
parts. Do not wipe them with such solvents.
Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth lightly dampened with
soapy water and dry thoroughly.
25. USE ONLY GENUINE HITACHI REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Replacement parts not manufactured by Hitachi may void
your warranty and can lead to malfunction and resulting
injuries. Genuine Hitachi parts are available from your
dealer.
26. DO NOT MODIFY THE COMPRESSOR.
Do not modify the compressor. Do not drill into, weld,
patch or modify the air tanks. Do not make adjustments to
the components that control tank pressure. Do not make
alterations to the factory operating pressure settings.
Do not operate at pressures or speeds in excess of
the manufacturer's recommendations. Always contact
the Hitachi authorized service center for any repairs.
Unauthorized modifi cation may not only impair the
compressor performance but may also result in accidents
or injury to repair personnel who do not have the required
knowledge and technical expertise to perform the repair
operations correctly.
27. TURN OFF THE PRESSURE SWITCH WHEN THE
COMPRESSOR IS NOT USED.
When the compressor is not used, turn off the pressure
switch, disconnect the plug from the power source and
open the drain cock to discharge the compressed air from
the air tank.
28. NEVER TOUCH HOT SURFACE.
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch the delivery pipe,
check valve or pump.
These areas can remain hot for at least 45 minutes after
this compressor is shutdown.
Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
29. DO NOT DIRECT AIR STREAM AT BODY.
Risk of injury. Do not direct air stream at persons or
animals.
30. DRAIN TANK.
Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If
not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
Drain tank daily or after 4 hours of use. To drain the air
tank, open valves slowly and tilt compressor to empty
accumulated water.
Keep face and the other body parts away from outlet of
drain.
Use ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses with side shields when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
