AIR TANK
The tank on your Air Compressor is designed and
may be UM coded (for units with tanks greater than
6 inch diameter) according to ASME Section VIII,
Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels must be inspect-
ed once every two years. To find your state pres-
sure vessel inspector, look under the Division of
Labor and Industries in the government section of
a phone book or call 1-800-4-D
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and
result in a violent tank explosion:
1. Failure to properly drain condensed water from the tank, caus-
ing rust and thinning of the steel tank. Drain tank daily or after
each use. If tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a
new tank or new compressor outfit.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs to the compressor tank.
Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the tank or
its attachments.
3. Modifications of the pressure switch, safety valve, or any
other components that control tank pressure. The tank is
designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never
make adjustments or substitute parts to alter the factory set
operating pressures.

ATTACHMENTS AND ACCESSORIES

Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray
guns, air operated accessories, tires, hoses
and other inflatables can cause them to explode
or fly apart, resulting in serious injury. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation and
never exceed the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments. Never use the compres-
sor to inflate small, low-pressure objects such
as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
