Stationary Air Compressor

General Safety

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.
Never operate compressor
without a beltguard. This
unit can start automatically
without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from
contact with moving parts.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that will get caught in the
moving parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code
safety relief valve
with a setting no higher than 150 psi
MUST be installed in the tank for this
compressor. The ASME safety valve
must have sufficient flow and pressure
ratings to protect the pressurized
components from bursting.
Maximum operat-
ing pressure is 125
psi. Do not operate with pressure switch
or pilot valves set higher than 125 psi.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
(Con't)
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
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,
cracked or damaged tanks.
NOTICE
!
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. 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.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
17. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in a
well ventilated area to
prevent health and fire
hazards.
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.
Installation
Disconnect, tag and lock

release all pressure from
Never use plastic the system before attempting to
install, service, relocate or perform any
(PVC) pipe for
maintenance.
LOCATION
outdoor installation.
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than 100°F.
Provide a minimum clearance of 18

flywheel or fan to the wall and ensure
clear access to the drain cock to
facilitate condensate drainage.
Do not locate the compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
MOUNTING
skids for mounting the compressor.
FLOOR MOUNTING
(All Units)
If the unit is not secured with the wall
cable, the compressor feet MUST be
bolted to a flat, even, concrete floor or
separate concrete foundation.
Vibration isolators must be used
between the tank leg and the floor. Do
not draw bolts tight. Allow the pads to
absorb vibrations. A flexible coupling
should be installed between the tank
and service piping.
heavy. The unit must be bolted to the
floor with isolation pads or secured
with the wall cable (if provided)
before operating to prevent
equipment damage, injury or death.
WALL CABLE INSTALLATION
(Provided on some 30 gallon models)
Included with the safety cable are two
lag screws and washers.
