This manual contains vital information for the safe use and efficient operation of this unit. It must be
read carefully and understood before installing, operating or servicing the unit. Failure to adhere to
the instructions and warnings will expose operator or service personnel to the risk of serious injury
or death.
WARNINGS RELATING TO THE COMPRESSOR
1. This machine was designed to perform within specific operating parameters, and was
thoroughly tested at the factory prior to shipment. Do not deviate from the recommended
operating parameters. Such improper operation will subject the machine to conditions beyond
its design capabilities, and will expose the operator and bystanders to the risk of injury or
death, and the machine to damage or failure.
2. When performing maintenance on the compressor, the compressor must be shut down and
isolated both electrically and mechanically by means of a discharge isolation valve to prevent
pressurizing from an external source. Do not reply upon check valves to provide complete
protection from the air system when more than one compressor is installed in the air system.
3. Disconnect this equipment from all power sources before opening the electrical enclosure for
any purpose. The enclosure contains exposed parts at high voltage which can cause severe
electric shock and burns if contacted, exposing service personnel to the risk of injury to death.
4. Do not bypass or tamper with the discharge temperature switch. If the compressor shuts
down due to high discharge temperature, contact a qualified service agency immediately.
Overriding the discharge temperature switch can cause a machine malfunction, fire or other
damage, and expose the operator and bystanders to the risk of injury or death.
