Do not use the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. Electrical repairs should be
performed by authorized personnel such as an electrician and should comply with all
national and local electrical codes. The air compressor should also have the proper
three prong grounding plug, correct supply voltage, and adequate fuse protection.
Never operate the compressor near combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors.
If spraying flammable materials, locate the air compressor at least 20 feet away from the
spray area. Never operate the air compressor indoors or in a confined area.
Drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. If the tank develops a leak, replace
the air compressor. Never use the air compressor after a leak has been found or try to
make any modifications to the tank. Never modify the air compressor's factory settings
which control the tank pressure or any other function.

This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break
in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory
tested to ensure proper operation and performance.
Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located in a clean,
dry, and well ventilated environment. The unit should have,
a minimum of 12 inchesof space on each side. The air filter
intake should be free of any debris or obstructions.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. Cords must not exceed 25 feet and No. 12 AWG size
must be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating
of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric
cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric
circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product. If the product must be
