(6.1 m) away from spray area.
An additional length of hose may
be required.
Store flammable materials
in a secure location away
from compressor.
Never place objects against or on
top of compressor pump.
Operate compressor in an open

DANGER: RISK TO BREATHING
(Asphyxiation)
What can happen
The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may
contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors, or solid particles from
the air tank. Breathing these
contaminant's can cause serious
injury or death.
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers,
may contain harmful vapors
and poisons.

DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING
OR STORING
What can happen
Oil can leak or spill and could result
in fire or breathing hazard; serious
injury or death can result. Oil leaks
will damage carpet, paint or other
surfaces in vehicles or trailers.

WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed
and may be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater
than 6 inch / 152 mm diameter) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should
be inspected once every two years. To find your state
pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of
Labor and Industries in the government section of a
phone book or call 1–800–4-D
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the
air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:
What can happen
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
how to prevent it
Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air for human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and
in-line safety equipment must be
properly installed. In-line filters
and safety equipment used in
conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air
to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consumption.
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
how to prevent it
Always place compressor
on a protective mat when
transporting to protect against
damage to vehicle from leaks.
Remove compressor from vehicle
immediately upon arrival at
your destination. Always keep
compressor level and never lie
on its side.
