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.
TIRES:
Over inflation of tires could result in serous injury and property damage.
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.
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.
