HAZARD

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.

What Could Happen

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.

Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause rupture or explosion

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.

How To Prevent It

Drain tank daily or after each use. If tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new tank or replace the entire compressor.

Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the tank or its attachments.

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.

HAZARD

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects

What Could Happen

The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and small objects at high speed, resulting in property damage or personal injury.

How To Prevent It

Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when using the compressor.

Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.

Always turn the compressor off and bleed pressure from the air hose and tank before attempting maintenance, attaching tools or accessories.
