If spraying flammable materials, locate compressor at least 20 feet (6.1 m) away from spray area. An additional length of hose may be required. Store flammable materials in a secure location away from compressor. Restricting any of the compressor ventilation openings will cause serious overheating and could cause fire. Never place objects against or on top of compressor pump. Operate compressor in an open area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from any wall or obstruction that would restrict the flow of fresh air to the ventilation openings. Operate compressor in a clean, dry well ventilated area. Do not operate unit indoors or in any confined area.
