READ THIS MANUAL.
This manual
contains proper operating instructions
for this paint tank.
2.
DESIGN MODIFICATIONS.
Do not
modify the tank design or construction.
Drilling into the tank or weld attach-
ments, or altering its design, could
weaken the tank.
3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

ing to the instructions in this manual.
Make sure all ports are free of hard-
ened paint or other materials that could
prevent free movement of air. Improper
cleaning could allow pressure to rise to
dangerous levels.

REACTIVE CHEMICALS.
Do not use
acids, caustic solutions, or halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents. These chemi-
cals can attack the lid gasket and
safety valve seal, compromising the
ability of the tank to hold pressure.

6. REMOVING LID.
Do not try to remove
the lid while the tank is under pres-
sure, or you could cause an explosion.
Follow the instructions in this manual
for relieving pressure in the tank before
removing the lid.
7. LID CLAMPS.
Overtightening the lid
clamps could cause them to weaken
and fail, resulting in the lid propelling
violently from the tank. Only tighten the
clamps by hand. Do not use tools to
tighten them.
8. NON-STANDARD COMPONENTS.
Substituting non-standard components
could weaken the tank or cause com-
ponent failure. Only use components
provided with your tank.
9. ATTACHMENTS.
Make sure equip-
ment connected to the tank has a high-
er pressure rating than the regulated
air pressure in the tank. Attachments
with a pressure rating lower than the
adjusted tank pressure could explode,
resulting in serious personal injury.
