DANGER
Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not
be used "as is" to supply breathing quality air. For any
application of air for human consumption, the air
compressor/pump will need to be fitted with suitable
in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional
equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify
the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D
breathing as described in Compressed Gas Association
Commodity Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards
Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of
breathing air application and proper in-line safety and
alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing
warranties shall be voided, and the manufacturer
disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal
injury or damage.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
WARNING
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls can cause
electrical arcs that will ignite a fl ammable
gas or vapor. Never operate or repair
the unit near a fl ammable gas or vapor.
Never store fl ammable liquids or gases
in the vicinity of the compressor.
CAUTION
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to abnormally vibrate,
STOP the engine/motor and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior
free of oil, solvent, or grease.
WARNING
Never remove or attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint
and other accumulations.
DANGER
Never attempt to repair
or modify a tank! Welding, drilling
or any other modifi cation will weaken the
tank resulting in damage from rupture
or explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
WARNING
Drain liquid from tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens
the tank. Make sure to drain tank daily and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation
and corrosion.
