warranties are void, and Harbor Freight Tools disclaims any liability whatsoever for
any loss, personal injury, or damage.
4. DANGER! Never attempt to repair or modify the Tanks (12). Welding, drilling,
or any other modification will weaken the Tanks resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.
5. WARNING! Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or
death could result. Any tube, pipe, or hose used must have a pressure rating higher
than 150 PSI. Minimum recommended pipe size: Up to 50 feet long use 1/2” diam-
eter. Greater than 50 feet use 3/4” diameter. Larger diameter pipe is always better.
6. Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to
the appropriate capacity. Do not exceed the capacity for any tool or equipment.
Always start out with the regulator adjusted all the way down, and then gradually
bring the pressure up to the proper level.
7. Drain the Air Compressor every day. Do not allow excessive moisture to build up
inside the Air Compressor’s Tank. Do not open the Drain Plugs (25) with more than
10 PSI of air pressure in the Tank. Do not unscrew the Drain Plugs so that
more
than four threads are showing.
8. Avoid injury. Never direct the air output at people or animals.
9. Do not alter or remove the Pressure Release Valves (9, 33).
10. Make sure the Air Compressor is located on a flat, level, sturdy surface ca-
pable of supporting the weight of the Compressor, operator(s), and any addi-
tional tools and equipment.
11. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.
12. Never stand on the Air Compressor. Serious injury could result if the Compres-
sor is tipped.
13. Never leave the Air Compressor unattended when it is plugged in and run-
ning. Turn off the Compressor, and unplug the unit before leaving.
14. Do not allow children and other unauthorized people to handle or play with
the Air Compressor.
15. Do not move or transport the Compressor if the Tanks (12) are under pres-
sure.
16. This Compressor is designed for outdoor use only. Do not operate the Com-
pressor in a closed area or in a poorly ventilated area. When running, the Engine
of this Compressor produces carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, toxic
fume that, when inhaled, can cause serious personal injury or death. When-
ever possible, use a carbon monoxide detector (not included) to detect ex-
cessive carbon monoxide fumes in the work area and in the surrounding area.
