Additional Safety Instructions for Paint Tanks
1.READ THIS MANUAL. This manual contains proper operating instructions for this paint tank.
2.DESIGN MODIFICATIONS. Do not modify the tank design or construction. Drilling into the tank or weld attach- ments, or altering its design, could weaken the tank.
3.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. Clean and dry the tank and lid accord- ing to the instructions in this manual. Make sure all ports are free of hard- ened paint or other materials that could prevent free movement of air. Improper cleaning could allow pressure to rise to dangerous levels.
4. REACTIVE CHEMICALS. Do not use acids, caustic solutions, or halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. These chemi- cals can attack the lid gasket and safety valve seal, compromising the ability of the tank to hold pressure.
5.SAFETY VALVE MODIFICATIONS. Never adjust the safety valve to change its pressure setting or defeat its func- tion. Tampering with the safety valve could allow tank pressure to rise to dangerous levels.
6.REMOVING LID. Do not try to remove the lid while the tank is under pres- sure, or you could cause an explosion. Follow the instructions in this manual for relieving pressure in the tank before removing the lid.
7.LID CLAMPS. Overtightening the lid clamps could cause them to weaken and fail, resulting in the lid propelling violently from the tank. Only tighten the clamps by hand. Do not use tools to tighten them.

9.ATTACHMENTS. Make sure equip- ment connected to the tank has a high- er pressure rating than the regulated air pressure in the tank. Attachments with a pressure rating lower than the adjusted tank pressure could explode, resulting in serious personal injury.
No list of safety guidelines is complete, because every work environment is different. Always consider safety first and use common sense. Failure to use this tool with caution and respect could result in serious personal injury.
