WARNING: Risk of Bursting

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.

How To Prevent It

What Could Happen

WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects

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.

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 off and 

bleed pressure

 from the air hose and tank 

before attempting maintenance, attaching 
tools or accessories.

HAZARD

HAZARD

Drain tank daily or after each use. 

If tank develops a leak, replace it 
immediately with a new tank or replace 
the entire compressor.

Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.

Modifications or attempted repairs to 
the tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the 
unloader valve, safety valve, or any 
other components which control tank 
pressure.

Never 

drill into, weld, or 

make any 

modifications to the tank 

or its 

attachments.

Excessive vibration can weaken the 
air tank and cause rupture or 
explosion

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.

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.
