•  Excessive vibration can 
weaken the air tank and 
cause rupture or explosion. 
Excessive vibration will 
occur if the compressor is 
not properly mounted or 
if engine operates above 
recommended RPM.
 
•  Do not remove the stiffener bar 
connecting the compressor 
pump to the engine, except 
to adjust belt tension, Then 
securely tighten the stiffener 
bar bolts. This bar controls unit 
vibration.
Attachments & accessories:
 
•  Exceeding the pressure rating 
of air tools, spray guns, air 
operated accessories, tires, 
and other inflatables can 
cause them to explode or 
fly apart, and could result in 
serious injury.
 •  Follow the equipment 
manufacturers recommendation 
and never exceed the maximum 
allowable pressure rating 
of attachments. Never use 
compressor to inflate small 
low pressure objects such 
as children’s toys, footballs, 
basketballs, etc.
Tires:
 •  Over inflation of tires could 
result in serious injury and 
property damage. 
 
•  Use a tire pressure gauge to 
check the tires pressure before 
each use and while inflating 
tires; see the tire sidewall for 
the correct tire pressure. 
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and 
similar equipment used to inflate 
tires can fill small tires similar to 
these very rapidly. Adjust pressure 
regulator on air supply to no more 
than the rating of the tire pressure. 
Add air in small increments and 
frequently use the tire gauge to 
prevent over inflation.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
 •  The compressed air stream 
can cause soft tissue damage 
to exposed skin and can 
propel dirt, chips, loose 
particles, and small objects 
at high speed, resulting in 
property damage or personal 
injury.
 •  Always wear certified safety 
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye 
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) 
with side shields when using 
the compressor.
 •  Never point any nozzle or 
sprayer toward any part of 
the body or at other people or 
animals.
 •  Always turn the compressor off 
and bleed pressure from the 
air hose and air tank before 
attempting maintenance, 
attaching tools or accessories.
