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 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 1-800-4D
E
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 can
causing 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. Do not modify the safety valve, or any other components that
control tank pressure. The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substi-
tutions 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. Follow the
equipment manufacturers recommendation and
never exceed the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments. Never use the compressor to
inflate small low-pressure objects such as children's
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.

RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Always operate the compressor in a well-ventilated area free of
combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If sparks from
compressor come into contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite,
causing fire or explosion. If spraying flammable materials, locate
compressor at least 20 feet up wind from spray area. An additional
length of hose may be required.
