Important Operating Instructions GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Important Operating Instructions EXTENSION CORDS CAUTION: The use of an extension cord with this product is not recommended as this can result in the loss of power to your air compressor which can prevent the motor from starting or running properly. This can also cause your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip. Running your air compressor on an undersized extension cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches and overheating of the electric motor.
Important Operating Instructions Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded services such as pipes, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures. If not properly grounded, this air compressor can incur the potential hazard of light trickle shock, particularly when used in damp locations. If electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of secondary hazard such your hands contacting an operating air tool.
Important Operating Instructions WARNING: Do not operate this air compressor if damaged during shipment, handling, or misuse. Damage may result in bursting, which can cause serious injury or property damage. All damaged parts must be repaired or replaced as needed prior to operating this air compressor. Check to see that all nuts, bolts, and fittings are secure before putting this air compressor into service.
Important Operating Instructions 6. SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief valve is preset by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve. 7. AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed.
Important Operating Instructions 3. Turn the pressure regulator knobs fully clockwise to open airflow from air outlet port. NOTE: Be careful not to over tighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator. 4. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 5. Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded power source of the correct voltage (see Grounding instructions). 6.
