WHAT TO
LOOK FOR
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Hot Parts
Flammable
Vapors
It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to
spark. A spark can ignite flammable vapors from
gasoline or solvents, causing a fire or explosion.
On tank mounted units, avoid contact with the
pump to tank plumbing.
The air compressor must only be used in well
ventilated areas, free of gasoline or solvent vapors.
Do not operate the compressor while you are
carrying it, or in the spray area.
Never touch the air compressor head during or
immediately after operation.
On tank mounted units, the plumbing between the
pump and tank gets hot.
When operated continuously, the air hose gets
hot, especially near the compressor. If you main-
tain contact by grasping you may suffer minor
burns or discomfort.
Unsuitable
Solvents
The solvents 1,1,1 - Trichloroethane and Meth-
ylene Chloride can chemically react with alumi-
num used in paint spray guns, paint pumps, etc.,
and cause an explosion. These solvents can also
react with galvanized components and cause
corrosion and weakening of parts. This does not
affect your air compressor - but it may affect the
equipment being used.
Read the label or data sheet supplied with the
material you intend to spray. If it contains the
solvents listed do not use accessories that contain
aluminum or galvanized parts. You must either
change the material you intend to spray, or use
only stainless steel spray equipment.
