Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors
-5-
The Model H4517/H4518 represents
a heavy load at 60 pounds. Seek
assistance before moving.
This air compressor is shipped from the
manufacturer in a carefully packed carton.
If you discover the machine is damaged
after you have signed for delivery, and the
truck and driver are gone, you will need to
file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the
containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its
agent. Without the packing materials, filing
a freight claim can be difficult.
If you need
assistance determining whether you need
to file a freight claim, or with the procedure
to file one, please contact our Customer
Service at (570) 546-9663.
When determining where to set up the air
compressor in the shop or when taking the
air compressor to a job site, the most
important consideration is access to an
adequate and properly fused power sup-
ply. Refer to
Circuit Requirements for the
needs of your particular compressor.
Also, make sure the compressor is not
operating in an environment where there
are explosives, flammable or caustic
fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated
area is best for safe operation.
Place the compressor on a solid and level
surface. Make sure that the hoses you
attach to your pneumatic device will be
unrestricted in movement and not subject
to being run over by vehicles or punctured
by any sharp objects in the area.
Since air compressors are often used for a
sustained period of time, sometimes in
restricted areas, it is also best to wear ear
protection to avoid long term exposure to
the sound of the electric motor and piston.
Long term exposure to this machine
may cause hearing loss. Wear
approved hearing protection while
operating this machine to minimize
this risk!
Unpacking
Site Placement
Do not place the compressor next to
any flammable liquids or gas! The
compressor cylinder head and feed
pipe can reach high temperatures and
could cause the flammable gas to
ignite. Keep work area clear from
flammable gas when using the com-
pressor.
