DANGER: RISK OF INJURY OR PROP ER TY DAMAGE WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR STORING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Oil can leak or spill and
could result in fire or
breathing hazard; serious
injury or death can result. Oil
leaks will damage carpet,
paint or other surfaces in
vehicles or trailers.
• Always place compressor
on a protective mat when
transporting to protect against
damage to vehicle from leaks.
Remove compressor from
vehicle immediately upon
arrival at your destination.
Always keep compressor level
and never lie on its side.
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
e
WALT for assistance.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from
air tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel air tank.
• 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.
• Modifications or attempted
repairs to the air tank.
• 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.
• Unauthorized modifications
to the safety valve or any
other components which
control air tank pressure.
• 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.
• 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.
