GENERAL SAFETy
The following safety precautions must
be observed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product carefully.
Be thoroughly familiar with
the controls and the proper
use of the equipment.
2. Do not exceed the pressure rating of
any component in the system.
3. Release all pressures within the
system before attempting to service
any component.
4. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes, as well as the National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA) in the United States.
5. All moving parts should be guarded.

7. Wiping or cleaning rags and other
flammable waste materials must
be placed in a tightly closed metal
container and disposed of later in the
proper fashion.
8. Be sure the regulated output
pressure is set at zero before
attempting to connect any device
such as an air tool. Excessive pressure
can damage some tools.
Installation
approved safety valve with appropriate
flow rating must be installed in the tank
before use. We recommend using Model
5A716.
1. Tank should be bolted to a concrete
floor or on a separate concrete
foundation. Vibration isolators should
be used between the tank legs and
the floor. Isolator pads (Model 4C974)
MANUAL
are recommended. Air compressor
should be mounted on a flat, even
surface.
NOTE: When using isolator pads, do not
draw bolts tight. Allow pads to absorb
vibrations.
IMPORTANT: When isolators are used,
a flexible coupling should be installed
between tank and service piping.
When using 4KP88, a flexible coupling
should also be installed between the air
compressor and the air receiver.

2. When equipment is installed on the
tank, always provide appropriate belt
guard and shields to prevent contact
with moving or hot parts.
3. Do not weld or modify the pressurized
part of the tank. It is allowable to drill
holes in the base-plate only for the
purpose of mounting the pump or
guards.

REMOvAL OF INSPECTION PLUG
To remove the ASME Inspection Plug
from 30 gallon tanks, use a wrench with
a jaw opening of 2-1/8 inch. To remove
the ASME Inspection Plug from 60, 80
and 120 gallon tanks, use a wrench
with a jaw opening of 2-9/16 inch. Turn
counterclockwise.
INSTALLATION OF ASME INSPECTION
PLUG
To install the ASME Inspection Plug on
30 gallon tanks, use a wrench with a
jaw opening of 2-1/8 inch. To install the

120 gallon tanks, use a wrench with a
jaw opening of 2-9/16 inch. Be sure the
O-Ring on the ASME Inspection Plug is
present and in place. Torque (clockwise)
