Operation
Safety Rules
1. Make sure all operators receive product train-
ing, read and understand all instructions.
Keep all flammable, combustible,
poisonous and noxious materials
away from operating area. Make
sure there are no oily rags, trash,
leaves, litter or other combustible
materials in operating area. Keep
suitable, fully charged fire extinguishers nearby
when servicing and operating the compressor.
2. NEVER allow modifications to compressor struc-
ture or controls.
3. Keep all ignition sources away from exposed
electrical parts.
4. Keep all persons clear of compressor during
start-up and operation.
5. NEVER operate the compressor with the fan,
coupling or other guards removed.
6. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
7. Make sure to provide adequate ventilation
and use proper lubricant while operating the
compressor. If lubricant or other combustible
substances are spilled, clean up immediately.
8. When checking or adding lubricant or when re-
filling air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze
compound, shut off compressor and allow it to
cool. Keep sparks, flames and other ignition
sources away and DO NOT permit smoking in the
vicinity.
9. Stop compressor and disconnect power if a
hazardous condition arises.
10. Wear snug fitting clothing and confine long hair
when around compressor. Keep all body parts
and clothing away from couplings, flywheel and
other moving parts of the equipment.
Keep all persons away from the
discharge opening of hoses or tools
or other points of compressed air
discharge. If the machine is
installed in an enclosed area, be
sure to vent the relief valve outside
of the structure or to an unoccupied area.
11. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the
maximum rating of the compressor. Select
air tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and
other fittings accordingly. DO NOT exceed
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures
for these items.
12. Make sure all hose connections are adequate-
ly secured to prevent tools or hose ends from
being accidentally disconnected.
Start-Up

be 1/2 inch slack. Refer to figure 3, pg. 4.
Always make sure main power is
off before touching belts or other
moving parts of compressor.
3. Push power switch to make sure system is
working.
4. Ensure motor rotation is correct. Refer to
unit operating instructions if necessary.
