General Safety Information
(Continued)
18 . 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 .
19 . When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer .
HOSE PRECAUTIONS
20 . Inspect hose before use .
Do not exceed working
pressure marked on hose.
Do not twist, bend
knot, or abrade
hose.
21 . Do not wrap hose around body .
Keep away from
hot surfaces and
chemicals.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F .
A minimum clearance of 18 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1 . This product is for use on a nominal
120 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 . Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances .
Improper use of grounding
plug can result in a possible
risk of electrical shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump . When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank . When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material .
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially
when spraying other than water based paints . If sandblasting, it will cause the sand
to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective . A filter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture .

2 . If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal . The wire with insulation
having an external surface that
is green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire .

3 . Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded . Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician .
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
