Description
Air compressor units are intended
to provide compressed air to power
pneumatic tools and operate spray
guns. The pumps supplied are oil
lubricated. A small amount of oil
carryover is present in the compressed
air stream. Applications requiring air
free of oil or water should have the
appropriate filter installed. The air
compressor unit must be mounted
as described in the instructions on
a solid floor. Any other use of these
units will void the warranty and the
manufacturer will not be responsible
for problems or damages resulting from
such misuse.
Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, inspect
carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Make sure
to tighten fittings, bolts, etc., before
putting unit into service.
Do not operate unit
if damaged during
shipping, handling or use. Damage may
result in bursting and cause injury or
property damage.
You can
create
dust when you cut, sand, drill
or grind materials such as
wood, paint, metal, concrete,
cement, or other masonry. This dust
often contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wear protective
gear.
