CAUTION: Air compressors are rated in volume -an 8 CFM air compressor pumps 8 cubic feet of air per minute at 75 pounds per square inch if it is a single stage machine -a 2 stage machine is commonly rated at 150 lbs. per square inch pressure. Do not confuse pressure (75 lbs. per square inch) with volume (8 CFM).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:- Do not under any circumstances point air at or in the direction of someone. D
- For safety's sake, never attempt to refill with fuel while engine is running, or if engine is hot, allow it to cool off first.
- Never attempt to do any maintenance on the compressor with the engine running. This is particularly true if you intend to work on an area near the pulleys or belts.
- Be sure hose is secure to prevent injury from hose whipping back and forth.
- Avoid contact with hot engine or muffler as these can cause severe burns.
- Do not run in enclosed building as the exhaust gasses can kill you.
- Be careful when starting engine as it may backfire and injure you if it is a hand starting engine and you have the rope wrapped around your hand or the crank held incorrectly.
USE HINTS:- BEFORE STARTING -Place unit in level position. Never operate unit in out-of-level position exceeding 10 degrees in any direction. This can cause improper lubrication of engine and compressor causing failure.
- Check oil level in engine and compressor at least every 4 hours.
