English
• Excessive vibration can
weaken the air tank and
cause rupture or explosion.
Excessive vibration will
occur if the compressor is
not properly mounted or
if engine operates above
recommended RPM.
• Do not remove the stiffener bar
connecting the compressor
pump to the engine, except
to adjust belt tension, Then
securely tighten the stiffener
bar bolts. This bar controls unit
vibration.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating
of air tools, spray guns, air
operated accessories, tires,
and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or
fly apart, and could result in
serious injury.
• Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating
of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small
low pressure objects such
as children’s toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
Tires:
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury and
property damage.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tires pressure before
each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for
the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and
similar equipment used to inflate
tires can fill small tires similar to
these very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on air supply to no more
than the rating of the tire pressure.
Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to
prevent over inflation.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• The compressed air stream
can cause soft tissue damage
to exposed skin and can
propel dirt, chips, loose
particles, and small objects
at high speed, resulting in
property damage or personal
injury.
• Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields when using
the compressor.
• Never point any nozzle or
sprayer toward any part of
the body or at other people or
animals.
• Always turn the compressor off
and bleed pressure from the
air hose and air tank before
attempting maintenance,
attaching tools or accessories.
