WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may
be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch 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 or call 1-800-4-D
assistance.
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
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 safety valve or any
other components which
control air tank pressure.

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.
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.
5
• Follow the equipment manu-
facturers recommendation
and never exceed the maxi-
mum allowable pressure rat-
ing of attachments. Never
use compressor to inflate
small low pressure objects
such as children's toys, foot-
balls, 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.
