3 In addition to the many obvious safety rules that should be followed with this type of machinery, the additionalsafety precautions as listed below must be all instructions completely before operating air compressor or installation, follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and theOccupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). motors must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring with a grounded,metal-clad raceway system to the starter; by using a separate ground wire connected to the bare metal of themotor frame; or other suitable the power cable from coming in contact with sharp objects.

4 Do not kink power cable and never allow thecable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your main electrical disconnect switch and disconnect any separate control lines, if used, before attempting to workor perform maintenance on the air compressor or unit. "Lock out" or "Tag out" all power not attempt to remove any compressor PARTS without first relieving the entire system of not attempt to service any part while machine is in an operational not operate the compressor at pressures in excess of its not operate compressor at speeds in excess of its check all safety devices for proper operation.

5 Do not change pressure setting or restrict operationin any sure no tools, or rags or loose PARTS are left on the compressor or drive not use flammable solvents for cleaning the air inlet filter or element and other cleanliness during maintenance and when making repairs. Keep dirt away from PARTS by covering partsand exposed openings with clean cloth or Kraft not operate the compressor without guards, shields and screens in not install a shut-off valve in the discharge line, unless a pressure relief valve, of proper design and size.

6 Isinstalled in the line between the compressor unit and shut-off not operate compressor in areas where there is a possibility of ingesting flammable or toxic careful when touching the exterior of a recently run motor - it may be hot enough to be painful or cause injury. With modern motors this condition is normal if operated at rated load - modern motors are built to operate athigher unit daily to observe and correct any unsafe operating conditions not "play around" with compressed air, nor direct air stream at body, because this can cause air from this machine absolutely must not be used for food processing or breathing air withoutadequate downstream filters, purifiers and use an air pressure regulating device at the point of use.

7 And do not use air pressure greater than markedmaximum pressure of hoses for weak or worn condition before each use and make certain that all connections are wear safety glasses when using compressed air user of any air compressor package manufactured by Champion A Gardner Denver Co., is hereby warned thatfailure to follow the preceding Safety and Operation Precautions can result in injuries or equipment damage. However,Champion A Gardner Denver Co., does not state as fact or does not mean to imply that the preceding list of Safetyand Operating Precautions is all inclusive, and further that the observance of this list will prevent all injuries or OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SYMBOLS AND DECALSDANGERI ndicates immediate hazards which will result in severe injury or hazards or unsafe practice which could result in severe injury or hazards or unsafe practice which could result in damage to the Champion compressoror minor , UNDERSTAND.

8 AND RETAIN THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE SAFETY PRECAUTION DECALSAS SHOWN IN THE PARTS LIST Oil-Less compressor must not be used for breathing air, unless proper downstream filtratonand purification is added. To use for breathing air without proper downstream equipment willcause serious injury whether air is supplied direct from the compressor source or to the breathingtanks for later use. Any and all libilities for damage or loss due to injuries, death and/or propertydamage including consequential damages stemming from the use of this compressor to supplybreathing air, without proper downstream filtration and purificaton, will be disclaimed by use of this compressor as a booster pump and/or to compress a medium other thanatmospheric air is strictly non-approved and can result in equipment damage and/or injury.

9 Non-approved uses will also void the unit may be equipped with special options which may not be included in this MANUAL . Usermust read, understand and retain all information sent with special new Champion Reciprocating Air Compressor is constructed to exacting standards of material instructions in this MANUAL have been prepared to ensure that the Champion air compressor will givelong and satisfactory copy of this MANUAL must be given to the personnel responsible for installing and operating the Championair compressor or precautions have been taken to prevent damage to your compressor or unit by freight carrier.

10 Theunit must be carefully examined and the carrier notified within 24 hours in the event of Five Year Warranty"R" Series CompressorsCHAMPION warrants each new compressor pump manufactured by CHAMPION, mounted on a factory assembled unit,to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of sixty (60) months fromdate of installation or sixty-six (66) months from date of shipment by CHAMPION or CHAMPION distributor, whichevermay occur first. Applies to the compressor pump only, excluding head valves.
