Unpacking
This air compressor is shipped from the manu-
facturer in a carefully packed carton. If you dis-
cover the machine is damaged after you’ve
signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are
gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the
carrier. Save the containers and all packing mate-
rials for possible inspection by the carrier or its
agent. Without the packing materials, filing a
freight claim can be difficult.
If you need assis-
tance determining whether you need to file a
freight claim, or with the procedure to file one,
please contact our Customer Service.
When taking the air compressor to a job site, the
most important consideration is access to an
adequate and properly fused power supply. Refer
to Section 2: Circuit Requirements for the needs
for your particular compressor.
Also make sure the compressor is not operating
in an environment where there are any explosive,
flammable or caustic fumes or gases. A clear and
well-ventilated area is best for its safe operation.
Place the compressor on a solid and level sur-
face. Make sure that the hoses you attach to sup-
ply your pneumatic device will be unrestricted in
movement and not subject to being run over by
vehicles or punctured by any other sharp objects
in the area.
And since air compressors are often used for a
sustained period of time, sometimes in restricted
areas, it is also best to wear ear protection to
avoid the long-term exposure to the sound of the
electric motor and piston.
NOTICE
The machine should always be run in the
positions shown on the cover of this manu-
al. Never run the G8299 when it is standing
upright on its wheel and support frame.
Also never continue to operate the machine
if it has fallen over on its side. The motor
will not receive adequate oil flow in these
positions, and continued operation can
