SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSORS COMPONENTS
1.TANK SAFETY VALVE: This valve prevents damage to the air receiver if a malfunction
in the compressor pump occurs. It is factory pre-set at a limit specific to your particular
model and adjustment. Do not tamper with it. Doing so will automatically void your
warranty.
2. PRESSURE SWITCH: The air pressure switch is factory pre-set for optimum
performance. Do not bypass or remove this switch. An air pressure that is too high
may cause serious damage to equipment or personal injury.
3. MOTOR AND COMPRESSOR PUMP: Air compressors get hot during operation. Do
not touch the motor, discharge tubing, or compressor while it is running. The
compressor turns itself on automatically while the power is connected.
4. AIR TANK: Over-pressurizing the air receiver, piping or tank could cause it to explode
or burst. To protect from over-pressurizing, the compressor is equipped with a factory
preset safety valve. Do not remove, make adjustments to or substitutions for this valve.
Perform a test of the valve from time to time: pull the ring on the valve to make sure
that it operates freely. If the valve does not operate freely, replace it before further use.
Never weld to, drill into, or change the air receiver in any way.
5. TAMPERING: If any of the components above are found to have been changed or
tampered with, the warranty will be made void. When servicing, we recommend using
only identical replacement parts and any replacement parts used must have the same
specification as the original equipment.
