I
t is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and
pressure switch to spark.
If electrical sparks from the compressor come in contact with
flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion.
Restricting any of the compressor ventilation openings will
cause serious overheating and could cause fire.
Unattended operation of this compressor could result in
personal injury or property damage.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always operate the compressor in a well ventilated area free
of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If
s
praying flammable materials, locate the compressor at least
20 feet away from the spray area. An additional length of hose
may be required.

replace tank or get a new air compressor. Never drill into, weld
or make any modifications to the tank or its attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to
alter the factory set operating pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you must install a
