Air Tank: The air tank on your compressor is designed and may be UM coded [for
units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 mm) diameter] according to ASME Section
VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two years.
To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and
Industries in the government section of a phone book .
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Failure to properly drain con-
densed 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 safety valve or any other
components which control air
tank pressure.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rat-
ing 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.

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill small
tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust

than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in
small increments and frequently use the tire
gauge to prevent over inflation.
