Use and Care Manual

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.
Never operate compressor without
Carbon monoxide can cause severe
nausea, fainting or death. Do not operate unit inside a
poorly ventilated area.
Never operate compressor without
a beltguard. This unit can start
automatically without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from contact with moving
parts.
◆ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in
the moving parts of the unit�
Compressor parts may be hot even if
the unit is stopped.
◆ Keep fingers away from a running compressor;
fast moving and hot parts will cause injury
and/or burns�
◆ Iftheequipmentshouldstarttovibrateabnormally,STOP
the engine/motor and check immediately for the cause�
Vibrationisgenerallyanindicationoftrouble.
NEVER refuel a running or hot
engine. Explosive fuel can cause fires
and severe burns. Avoid overfilling fuel tank.
◆ Check fuel level before starting the engine� Wipe
off any spilled gas before starting the engine�
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. 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.
◆ To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease�
This compressor is equipped with an ASME
code safety valve with a pressure setting of 200
psi for two-stage compressors or 150 psi for single-stage compressors.
Should this ASME code safety valve require replacement, the
replacement valve must have the same flow and pressure ratings as the
original valve to protect the pressurized components from bursting.
The flow and pressure ratings can be found on the valve. NEVER
REMOVE AND REPLACE THIS SAFETY VALVE WITH A PLUG. The safety
valve in the intercooler of a two-stage compressor does not provide
system protection.
Maximum operating pressure is 175 psi for
two-stage compressors and 125 psi for single
stage compressors. Do not operate with pressure switch or pilot valves
set higher than 175 psi (two-stage) or 125 psi (single stage).
◆ NeverattempttoadjustASMEsafetyvalve.Keepsafetyvalve
free from paint and other accumulations�
◆ Do not tamper with governor setting on engine�
Overspeeding the unit severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous�
Never attempt to repair or modify
a tank! Welding, drilling or any
other modification will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
◆ Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank�
Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect periodically for
unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion�

◆ 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 accidental starting�
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable materials
in vicinity of open flame or near
ignition sources including the compressor unit.
◆ Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides,
or other flammable substances�
◆ Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and
spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health
and fire hazards�
◆ 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�
◆ When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer�
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT DISCARD
