WARNING:
Risk of Bursting
I_1
Air Tank: The following
conditions could lead to a weakening
of the tank, and result
in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage
or serious injury.
What Could Happen
Failure to properly drain
condensed
water from tank,
causing rust and thinning of the
steel tank.
2.
Modifications
or attempted
repairs
to the tank.
3.
Unauthorized
modifications
to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components
which control
tank pressure.
4.
Excessive vibration
can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
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.
How To Prevent It
Drain tank daily or after each use. If
tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately
with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications
to the tank or its
attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand
specific
operating
pressures. Never make
adjustments
or parts substitutions
to
alter the factory
set operating
pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you
must install a pressure regulator
and
pressure gauge to the air outlet (if not
equipped)
of your compressor.
Follow the
equipment
manufacturers
recommendation
and never exceed the
maximum allowable
pressure rating of
attachments.
Never use compressor
to
inflate small low pressure objects such
as children's
toys, footballs,
basketballs,
etc.

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The compressed
air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed,
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved
safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward
any part of the body or at other
people or animals.
Always turn the compressor
oft and
bleed pressure from the air hose and tank
before attempting
maintenance,
attaching
tools or accessories.
