GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Air compressors are utilized in a variety
of air system applications. Because air
compressors and other components
(material pump, spray gun, filters,
lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up
a high pressure pumping system, the
following safety precautions should be
observed at all times. Only persons well
acquainted with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use the
air compressor.
Risk of Bursting! This
compressor is designed
to provide air pressure
up to 200 psi. Most
attachments are designed to
operate at a maximum pressure
of less than 125 psi. DO NOT
adjust the regulator to result in
output pressure greater than the
marked maximum pressure of the
attachment.
Risk of Injury!
Do not direct air
stream at body.
All electrical work
should be done
by a qualified (licensed or certified)
electrician. On a properly wired
circuit, the black wires supply a
voltage potential even when the
unit is off.
1. Read instruction
manuals for each
component carefully,
before attempting to
assemble, disassemble
or operate your particular system.

2. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the
pump or unit.
3. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
4. Do not exceed pressure rating of
any component in system.
5. Protect material lines and air lines
from damage or puncture. Keep
hose and power cable away from
sharp objects, chemical spills, oil,
solvents, and wet floors.
6. Never point a spray gun at oneself
or any other person. Accidental
discharge may result in serious
injury.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition, before each use, making
certain all connections are secure;
do not use if deficiency is found.
Notify an authorized service facility
for examination or repair.
Leaving compressor in ON
position may allow it to turn on
inadvertently. To prevent this and
possible damage from power surge,
turn to OFF position after each use.
8. Release all pressures within system
slowly; dust and debris may be
harmful.
