10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
12. Check fuel level before starting the
engine. Do not fill the gas tank
indoors. Wipe off any spilled gas
before starting the engine.
13. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil, sol-
vent, or excessive grease.
14. Do not tamper with governor setting
on engine. Overspeeding the unit
severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous.
15. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure to
drain tank daily and inspect periodical-
ly for unsafe conditions such as rust
formation and corrosion.
