WHAT CAN HAPPEN
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WITHIN THE
MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH TO SPARK.
IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRESSOR COME INTO
CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE,
CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR VENTILATION
OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS OVERHEATING AND
COULD CAUSE FIRE.
iii i
' ! HOW TO PREVENT IT
ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A WELL VENTI-
LATED AREA FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASO-
LINE OR SOLVENT VAPORS.
IF SPRAYLNG FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, LOCATE COMPRES-
SOR AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA. AN
ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE REQUIRED.
i
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A SECURE LOCATION
AWAY FROM COMPRESSOR.
i I
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON TOP OF COM-
PRESSOR_ OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA AT
LEAST 12 INCHES AWAY FROM ANY WALL OR OBSTRUC-
