SECTION 1 SAFETY
1.1 PARKING
CHOOSING A PARKING SITE
1. Park the compressor on a level firm area. Never park on a grade of more than 15 degrees (27%).
If you must park on any grade, park across the grade so that the compressor does not tend to roll.
2. Park so that the wind carries exhaust fumes and radiator heat away from the compressor inlet.
3. Park away from work site dust.
4. Stay clear of electrical power lines. Keep the towing vehicle or equipment carrier, compressor,
hoses, tools and all personnel at least 10 feet from power lines and buried cables.
1.2 BEFORE STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
1. Check fluids levels and for possible leaks.
2. Use adequate hose and couplings with safety locks or pins.
3. Remove all tools and/or loose items from engine compartment.
