DANGER:
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.
Spraying Precautions
1. Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or
other flammable substances.
2. Use a face mask / respirator when
spraying and spray in a well ventilated
area to prevent health and fire hazards.
3. 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.
4. When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
