or replace defective items before
using.

S Motors, electrical equip-
ment and controls can

cause electrical arcs that
will ignite a flammable gas or vapor.
Never operate or repair in or near a
flammable gas or vapor. Never store
flammable liquids or gases in the vicini-
ty of the compressor.
Never operate compres-
sor without a beltguard.
This unit can start auto-
matically without warn-
ing. Personal injury or property dam-
age could occur from contact with mov-
ing parts.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
ry that will get caught in the mov-
ing parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediate-
ly for the cause. Vibration is gener-
ally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safe-
ty relief valve with
a setting no higher than 200 psi for two-
stage compressors or 150 psi for single
stage compressors MUST be installed in
® Air Compressors
the air lines or in the tank for this com-
pressor. The ASME safety valve must
have sufficient flow and pressure ratings
to protect the pressurized components
from bursting. The flow rating can be
found in the parts manual. The maximum
safe pressure rating for the pump is 200
psi (two-stage) or 150 psi (single stage).
The safety valve in the intercooler does
not provide system protection.
Maximum operat-
ing pressure is 175
psi for two-stage compressors and 135 psi
for single stage compressors. Do not oper-
ate with pressure switch or pilot valves
set higher than 175 psi (two-stage) or 135
psi (single stage).
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safe-
ty valve. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair
or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any
other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always
replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful. Release
air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.

SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS

Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition
sources including the compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable sub-
stances.
17. Use a face mask/respirator when
spraying and spray in a well ventilat-
2
ed area to prevent
health and fire hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or
other sprayed materi-
al at the compressor.
Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to min-
imize overspray accumulation on
the compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with sol-
vents or toxic chemicals, follow the
instructions provided by the chemi-
cal manufacturer.
Installation
Disconnect, tag and
lock out power source
then release all pres-
sure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move
unit without
appropriately rated equipment. Be sure
the unit is securely attached to lifting
device used. Do not lift unit by holding
onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit
to lift other attached equipment.
Never use the
wood shipping
skids for mounting the compressor.
Install and operate unit at least 24 in.
from any obstructions in a clean, well
ventilated area. The surrounding air
temperature should not exceed 100
This will ensure an unobstructed flow
of air to cool compressor and allow
adequate space for maintenance.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot,
moist environment, supply compressor
pump with clean, dry outside air.
Supply air should be piped in from
external sources. Use adapter kit
(TF060502AV) to connect piping to
compressor.
