SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! 1. Your Warranty is voided if: You drop the Air Compressor. Always lift
the Air Compressor using its Handle.
Do not expose to a high-dust environment. Dusty conditions may increase wear on
2.
the Compressor.
DANGER!3. This Air Compressor is NOT equipped and should not be used “as-is”
to supply breathing air. For any application of air for human consumption, you
must t the Air Compressor with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment (not
included). This additional equipment is necessary to properly lter and purify the air
to meet minimal specications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed
Gas Association Commodity Specication G 7.1-1966, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134,
and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA). In the event the Air Compressor
is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and
alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties are void, and
Harbor Freight Tools disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury,
or damage.
DANGER! 4. Never attempt to repair or modify the Air Tank (53). Welding, drilling,
or any other modication will weaken the Tank resulting in damage from rupture or
explosion. Always replace worn, cracked, or damaged Tanks.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Air Compressor. These carry important 5.
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
WARNING! 6. 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” diameter.
Greater than 50 feet use 3/4” diameter. Larger diameter pipe is always better.
Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to the 7.
appropriate capacity. Do not use any tool or equipment that does not operate from
85 PSI to 100 PSI.
