Oilless Compressors
General Safety
Information (cont.)
2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes, as well as in the U.S.A.,
National Electrical Codes (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the pump
or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors,
electrical equipment 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
vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety 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 or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
12. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank daily and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and
corrosion.
13. 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.
14. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
15. Use a face mask /
respirator when spraying
and spray in a well
ventilated area to prevent
health and fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.

Installation
LOCATION
The tank must sit level or slope slightly
towards the drain valve to allow the
tank to drain properly. It is extremely
important to install the compressor in a
clean, well ventilated area where the
surrounding air temperature will not
be more than 40°C (104°F).
A minimum clearance of 0.1 meters
(4 inches) between the compressor and
a wall is required because objects could
obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
This debris will damage the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
240 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. This product must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape
wire for electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Cord must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
