WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
The solvents 1,1,1- Trichloroethane and Methy-
lene Chloride can chemically react with aiumi-
num used in paint spray guns, paint pumps, etc.,
and cause an explosion. These solvents can
also react with galvanized components and
cause corrosion and weakening of parts. This
does not affect your air compressor- but it may
affect the equipment being used.
Your air compressor is powered by electricity.
Like any other electrically powered device, if it is
not used properly it can cause electrical shock.
This compressor cycles automatically when the
switch is in the "On-Auto" position. If you
attempt repair or maintenance while the com-
pressor is operating, or with the switch in the
"On-Auto" position, you can expose yourself to
moving parts. These moving parts can cause
serious injury or damage, if they come into con-
tact with you or your clothing.
Itis normal for compressed air to contain toxic or
irritating vapors. Such vapors are harmful if
inhaled.
Certain materials you are spraying (like paint,
weed killer, sand or insecticide) can be harmful
if you inhale them.
If the material you intend to spray contains the sol-
vents listed at left (read the label or data sheet), do
not use accessories that contain aluminum or gal-
vanized parts. You must either change the material
you intend to spray, or use only stainless steel
spray equipment.
Always unplug the air compressor prior to mainte-
nance or repair.
Never use the air compressor outdoors when it is
raining.
Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet with
the specified voltage and adequate fuse
protection.
Always unplug the unit and release air pressure
from the tank and any accessories before doing
repair or maintenance.
Never operate the compressor with the belt guard
removed.
Never directly inhale the compressed air produced
by this unit.
Read labels and safety data for all materials you
spray. Follow al! safety precautions.
Use a mask or respirator if there is a chance of
inhaling toxic sprayed materials. Masks and
respirators have limits and will only provide protec-
tion against some kinds and limited amounts of
toxic material. Read mask and respirator instruc-
tions carefully. Consult with a safety expert or
industrial hygienist if you are not sure about the use
of a certain mask or respirator.
Modifications to the air compressor can cause
the air tank to rupture or explode.
Changing the air tank will cause it to weaken.
The tank can rupture or explode.
Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety
valve or pressure switch. Ifsafety valve or pressure
switch replacement is necessary, a part with the
same pressure rating must be used.
For Service Replacement use only the motor, pul-
ley and belt designed as standard service replace-
ment parts indicated in the parts list. Use of
improper parts could cause overloading of your
unit and electrical supply.
Do not substitute a gas engine for the motor.., this
compressor was not designed to be powered by a
gasoline engine.
Never replace the compressor pump with a differ-
ent model.
Never increase the compressor pump speed.
Do not fix mount or permanently attach the com-
pressor feet. This outfit is intended for portable use
(with wheels) only.
Never drill into, weld, or in any way modify the air
tank. Do not repair a leaking tank, it must be
replaced.
Never replace the air tank with a different model or
a larger tank.
