WARNING: Risk of Bursting
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and
result in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious
injury.
How To Prevent It
What Could Happen
HAZARD
Drain tank daily or after each use.
If tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions
to alter the factory set operating
pressures.
For essential control of air pressure,
you must install a pressure regulator
and pressure gauge to the air outlet
(if not equipped) of your compressor.
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.
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.
TIRES:
Over inflation of tires could result in
serous injury and property damage.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the
tires pressure before each use and while
inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the
correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply
to no more than the rating of the tire
pressure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
