RISK OF BREATHING
Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air
stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles. Never
inhale air from the unit either directly or from a breathing device connected
to the unit.
Serious injury or death may occur from inhaling engine exhaust. This unit
was designed for outdoor use. Never operate this unit in an enclosed
area. Always make certain there is adequate ventilation (fresh outside air)
for breathing and combustion. This will prevent the buildup of dangerous
carbon monoxide gases. Beware of poorly ventilated areas, or areas with
inadequate exhaust fans.
Sprayed materials such as paint, solvents, paint remover, insecticides,
weed killers, etc. contain harmful vapors and poisons. Operate the unit only
in a well ventilated area. Follow all safety instructions provided with the ma-
terials you are spraying. Use of a respirator may be required when working
with some materials.
RISK OF BURNS
Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas
can remain hot for some time after the unit is shutdown. Never allow any
part of your body or other materials to make contact with any exposed
metal parts on the unit.
Never allow any part of your body to contact the engine muffler, compressor
head or adjacent areas.
RISK OF FLYING OBJECTS
Soft tissue damage can occur from the compressed air stream. Always wear
safety glasses to shield the eyes from flying debris.
Never point the air stream at any part of your body, anyone else or animals.
Never leave pressurized air in the unit. Shut off the unit and relieve pressure
when storing or attempting maintenance.
Serious injury can occur from loose debris being propelled at a high speed
from the compressed air stream. Always maintain a safe distance from
people and animals while operating the unit.
Do not move the unit while air tank is under pressure. Do not attempt to
move the unit by pulling on the hose.
RISK FROM MOVING PARTS
Risk of bodily injury from moving parts. Before performing maintenance,
always turn off the unit. Bleed pressure from the air hose and disconnect
spark plug wire (for gasoline engines), or remove the negative wire from
the battery post (for Diesel engines) to prevent engine from starting unex-
pectedly. All repairs to the unit should be made by an Authorized Service
person.
Do not operate without protective covers/guards. Always turn off the unit
before removing any guard. Replace damaged covers/guards before using
the unit.
