GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
A WARNING: Read and understand the information in this
owner's manual before operating
air compressor.
1. The compressor should be located in a dry, clean, and well
ventilated area.
2. Inspect before use: hose, plug, and cord for signs of damage.
Do not use if a deficiency is found. Contact your nearest service
center for replacement parts. Never operate a damaged unit.
3. Do not tamper with safety valve as it has been factory set.
Any adjustment with this valve could cause serious injury.
4. This air compressor needs no lubrication. Applying oil to any
part could result in polluted air delivery to the air-handling
equipment.
5. Compressed air must never be aimed at anyone because it can
cause serious injury. Keep children away. WEAR EYE
PROTECTION.
6. All air compressors generate heat even under normal operating
conditions. To avoid serious burns, never touch the air compres
sor during or immediately after operation.
7. When unit is not in use, wrap cord around compressor and store
in dry place. Do not abuse cord.
8. Before servicing, cleaning, or removal of any part, shut off power
and relieve pressure from tank.
9. This system produces 125 PSI. To avoid rupture and injury, do
not operate this pump with components rated less than
125 PSI
working pressure (including but not limited to spray guns, hose
and hose connections without pressure regulator).
If warranty service or repair is needed contact your nearest
authorized service center. If one does not exist contact the
factory. Unauthorized repairs or
teardown of the unit will void
factory warranty.
