RIDGID GP90135 Air Compressor User Manual


 
16. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the com-
pressor system.
17.
STOP the engine whenever leaving the
work area, before cleaning, making
repairs or inspections. When cleaning,
repairing or inspecting, make certain all
moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and keep the wire
away from the plug to prevent acciden-
tal starting.
18. Allow engine to cool before storing.

10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
12. Check fuel level before starting the
engine. Do not fill the gas tank
indoors. Wipe off any spilled gas
before starting the engine.
13. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil, sol-
vent, or excessive grease.
14. Do not tamper with governor setting
on engine. Overspeeding the unit
severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous.
15.
Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure to
drain tank daily and inspect periodical-
ly for unsafe conditions such as rust
formation and corrosion
.

WARNING
Gasoline vapor is highly flam-
mable. Refill outdoors or only in
well ventilated areas. Do not
store, spill or use gasoline near
an open flame or heat devices
such as a stove, furnace, or
water heater, which utilize a
pilot light, or any device that
can create a spark. If gasoline
is accidentally spilled, move
unit away from the spill area
and avoid creating any source
of ignition until gasoline vapors
have dissipated.

DANGER
Motors, electrical
equipment and con-
trols can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas
or vapor. Never operate or

insecticides, or other flammable sub-
stances.
20. Use a face mask/respirator when

ed area to prevent health and fire
hazards.
21. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to mini-

compressor.
22. When spraying or cleaning with sol-
vents or toxic chemicals, follow the
instructions provided by the chemi-
cal manufacturer.

WARNING
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
Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss,
personal injury or damage.
