NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is
equipped with a quick connect socket.
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous
risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pres-
sure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit may
contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered
air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories
may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.

Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When perform-
ing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before perform-
ing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor

TO CHECk SAFETY VALVE
Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or
an explosion.
Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with
side shields.
1. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
