UNPACKING
When unpacking, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Make sure any
loose fittings, bolts, etc., are tightened before putting unit into service.
OPERATION
• Pull safety relief valve before filling to be sure the valve moves freely.
1. Take portable tank to a source of clean, dry, compressed air (ie. full service gas station, truck stop etc.
Some modern convenience stations do not have sufficient pressure to fill the tank). The recommended fill
pressure is between 85 and 125 psi.
2. Press chuck from air source onto filler valve located on the side of the brass manifold (See Fig 1). Fill tank
to a maximum of 125 psi as indicated on pressure gauge.
NOTE:
The air shut-off valve (red knob) does not have to be opened to fill the tank.
3. Open air shut-off valve by turning counterclockwise to allow air to flow into hose.
WARNING
: The tank manifold gauge does not indicate the pressure in the object being filled. Use a separate
gauge to check the object.
4. Turn the air shut-off valve clockwise to the closed position. Do not over tighten.
