Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
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.
Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
Unauthoriaed modifications to
the safety valve or any other
components which control air tank
pressure.
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.
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.
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 very rapaidly. 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.
2.
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.
3. The air tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:

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.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at
other people or animals.
Always turn the compressor off and
bleed pressure from the air
hose and air tank before attempting
maintenance, attaching tools or
accessories.
Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields when using the
compressor.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
RISK OF HOT SURFACES
HOW TO PREVENT IT
1. 1/1
1/2
Touching exposed metal such as
the compressor head, engine head,
engine exhaust or outlet tubes, can
result in serious burns.
Never touch any exposed metal parts
on compressor during or
immediately after operation.
Compressor will remain hot for
several minutes after operation.
Do not reach around protective shrouds
or attempt maintenance
until unit has been allowed to cool.
