What can happen
•Failure to properly drain condensed water from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank.
•Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank.
•Unauthorized modifications to the unloader valve, safety valve, or any other components which control air tank pressure.
•Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause rupture or explosion. Excessive vibration will occur if the compressor is not properly mounted or
if engine operates above recommended RPM.
How to prevent it
•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.
•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.
•The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.
•Do not remove the stiffener bar connecting the compressor pump to the engine, except to adjust belt tension.Then securely tighten the stiffener bar bolts.This bar controls unit vibration.
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 serious injury and property damage.
•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.
•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.
