HAZARD
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
WHEN TRANSPORTING COMPRESSOR
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing hazard;
serious injury or death can result. oil
leaks will damage carpet, paint or
other surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
• Always
place compressor on a
protective mat when transporting
to protect against damage to vehicle
from leaks. Remove compressor
from vehicle immediately upon
arrival at your destination.
HAZARD
RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM
coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch diameter) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every
two years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division
of Labor and Industries in the government section of a phone book.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after each use.
If air tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new air tank or
replace the entire compressor.
• Modifications or attempted repairs to
the air tank.
• Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air tank.
Replace with a new air tank.
• Unauthorized modifications to the
safety valve or any other components
which control air tank pressure.
• The air tank is designed to withstand
specific operating pressures.
Never make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory set
operating pressures.
• Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank of a stationary compressor
and cause an explosion.
• The compressor must be properly
mounted, see "Anchoring" under
Installation.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other
inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could result
in serious injury.
• Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed
the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children’s
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
