RISKOFINJURY. This unit starts automatically. ALWAYS shut off the main power disconnect, and bleed all pressure
from the system before servicing the compressor, and when the compressor is not in use. Do not
use the unit with the shrouds or belt guard removed. Serious injury could occur from contact with
moving parts. Stay alert and watch what you are doing when operating the compressor. Do not use
the compressor while tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
RISKOFBURSTING. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor
outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the
tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories. Never use
compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
RISKOFBURNS. High temperatures are generated by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO
NOT touch the pump, manifold or transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to cool before
handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times. Do not reach around
protective shrouds or attempt to maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.

inawellventilatedareawhenusingtoolsthatgeneratedust. Some dust created by power
sanding, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State
of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• leadfromlead-basedpaints
• crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts
• arsenicandchromiumfromchemicallytreatedlumber.
RISKTOBREATHING. Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety
instructions provided on the label or safety sheets for the materials you are spraying. Use a MSHA/
NIOSH approved respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read
all instructions and be sure that your respirator mask will protect you. Work in an area with good
cross ventilation.
RISKOFEYEINJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an air compressor. Never point any
nozzle or sprayer toward a person, animal or any part of the body. Equipment can cause serious
injury if the spray penetrates the skin.
RISKOFBURSTING. •Donotadjustthetanksafetyvalveforanyreason.Doingsovoidsallwarranties.Thereliefvalve
has been pre-set at the factory for the maximum pressure of this unit. Personal injury and /or
property damage may result if the relief valve is tampered with.
•Donotuseplasticorpvcpipeforcompressedair.Useonlygalvanizedsteelpipeandfittingsfor
compressed air distribution lines.
RISKOFFIRE.
Unattended operation of this compressor could result in personal injury or property damage. To
reduce the risk of fire, do not allow the compressor to operate unattended. Always disconnect
electrical power by turning the pressure switch to off and drain the tank daily or after each use.
RISKTOBREATHING.
Air obtained directly from the compressor should never be used to supply air for human
consumption. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid particles from
tank. Breathing these contaminant’s can cause serious injury or death. In order to use air produced
by this compressor for breathing, suitable filters and in-line safety equipment must be properly
installed. In-line filters and safety equipment must be properly installed. In-line filters and safety
equipment used in conjunction with the compressor must be capable of treating air to all applicable
local and federal codes prior to human consumption.
RISKOFINJURY
Always operate the compressor in a stable secure position to prevent accidental movement of the
unit. Never operate the compressor on a table, workbench, roof or other elevated position. Use
additional air hose to reach high locations.
RISKTOHEARING.
Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may result in
hearing loss.
The interconnect cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
NOTE: ELECTRICALWIRING.
Refer to the air compressor’s serial label for the unit’s voltage and amperage requirements.
Ensure that all wiring is done by a licensed electrician, in accordance with the National Electrical
code.
