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.

on engine. Overspeeding the unit
severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous.

Safety Instructions (continued)
NEVER refuel a running
or hot engine. Explosive fuel
can cause fires and severe
burns. Avoid overfilling fuel
tank.
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.
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.
Carbon monoxide can
cause severe nausea, fainting
or death. Do not operate unit
inside a closed building or a
poorly ventilated area.
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 modifica-
tion will weaken the tank result-
ing in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn
or damaged tanks.
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit is
stopped.
