Do not locate the
compressor air
inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
Never use an extension
cord with this product.
Use additional air hose
instead of an extension
cord to avoid power loss and
permanent motor damage. Use of an
extension cord voids the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. This product must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric
current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug.
Plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper use of
grounding plug can
result in a possible risk
of electrical shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses
and use hearing
protection when
operating the pump
or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
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 excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair
or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any
other modification will weaken the
tank resulting in damage from rupture

Operating Instructions
Oilless Compressors
or explosion. Always replace worn or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and
corrosion.
13. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 4 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
