Wear safety glasses anduse hearing protectionwhen operating thepump or unit.6. Do not stand on or use the pump orunit as a handhold.7. Before each use, inspect compressedair system and electrical componentsfor signs of damage, deterioration,weakness or leakage. Repair orreplace defective items before using.8. Check all fasteners at frequentintervals for proper tightness.Motors, electrical equipmentand controls can causeelectrical arcs that will ignitea flammable gas or vapor. Neveroperate or repair the unit near aflammable gas or vapor. Never storeflammable liquids or gases in thevicinity of the compressor.Compressor parts may be hoteven if the unit is stopped.9. Keep fingers away from a runningcompressor; fast moving and hotparts will cause injury and/or burns.10.

Followlubrication instructions beforeoperating compressor.Use oil shipped with the compressor.Do not use regular automotive oilsuch as 10W-30. Additives in regularmotor oil can cause valve deposits andreduce pump life. For maximum pumplife, drain and replace oil after the firstfew hours of run time.The compressor pump takes approxi-mately 380 ml (13 ozs.) of oil. The sightglass, located on the crankcase portionof the pump, is marked with “max”and “min” levels.
