Description
Air compressor units are intended to provide compressed air to power pneumatic
tools and operate spray guns. The pumps supplied are oil lubricated. A small amount
of oil carryover is present in the compressed air stream. Applications requiring air
free of oil or water should have the appropriate filter installed. The air compressor
unit must be mounted on a solid floor or solid ground. Any other use of these units
will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not be responsible for problems or
damages resulting from such misuse.
