General Safety Information
(Continued)
2 . Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the United States,
the National Electrical Codes (NEC)
and Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) .
3 . Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor .
4 . Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area .
5 . Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the unit .
6 . Do not stand on or use the unit as a
handhold .
7 . Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage . Repair or
replace defective items before using .
8 . Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness .
Motors,
electrical
equipment and controls can
cause electrical arcs that
will ignite a flammable gas
or vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
Never
operate
compressor without a
beltguard. This unit can
start automatically without
warning. Personal injury or property
damage could occur from contact with
moving parts.
9 . Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that will get caught in the
moving parts of the unit .
Compressor parts may be hot
even if the unit is stopped.
10 . Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns .

11 . If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the engine/
motor and check immediately for
the cause . Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble .
12 . To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/
motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease .
An ASME code
safety relief valve
with a setting no higher than the
maximum allowable working pressure
(MAWP) MUST be installed in the
tank for this compressor. The ASME
safety valve must have sufficient flow
and pressure ratings to protect the
pressurized components from bursting.
See compressor
specification decal
for maximum operating pressure.
Do not operate with pressure switch
or pilot valves set higher than the
maximum operating pressure.
13 . Never attempt to adjust ASME safety
valve . Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations .
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
Never
attempt
to repair or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any other
modification will weaken the
tank resulting in damage from rupture
or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
14 . Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank . Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion .
15 . Fast moving air will stir up dust
and debris which may be harmful .
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system .

substances .
17 . Use a face mask/ respirator
when spraying and spray
in a well ventilated area
to prevent health and fire
hazards .
18 . Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor . Locate
