breathable air except in full compliance with
OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910 and any other
Federal, State or Local codes or regulations.
Death or serious injury can result
from inhaling compressed air
without using proper safety
equipment. See OSHA standards
on safety equipment.
2. DO NOT use air line anti-icer systems
in air lines supplying respirators or other
equipment used to produce breathable air.
DO NOT discharge air from these systems in
unventilated or other confined areas.
Pressurized Components
1. This equipment is supplied with a ASME
designed pressure vessel protected by an
ASME rated relief valve. Pull the ring before
each use to make sure the valve is functional.
DO NOT attempt to open valve while the
machine is under pressure.
2. Improper maintenance could lead to the air
tank bursting or exploding.
3. Drain air tank after each use or
daily to prevent moisture buildup in the
air tank. Rust can weaken the air tank
and cause leaks or bursting. If rust is
detected, replace tank immediately.
4. Do not attempt repairs to the air tank by
welding, drilling or other modifications. Such
modifications may weaken the air tank and
cause a hazardous condition.
5. If the air tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately. Never repair, weld or make
modifications to the air tank or its attachments.
6. Do not make adjustments to the factory-set
pressures.
7. Never exceed attachments' manufacturer's
maximum-allowable pressure rating.
8. Do not use plastic pipe or lead tin solder
joints for a discharge line as the may not
withstand the high heat developed during air
compression.
