RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (continued)
Air Tanks:
Due to condensation associated with the process of compressing air, moisture will build up inside your
compressor’s air tank. Drain tanks of moisture daily (See General Maintenance). Failure to drain moisture from
the tanks properly could lead to the formation of rust and thinning of the steel tank.
FAILURE
TO REGULARLY
DRAIN TANK
MAY CAUSE TANK CORROSION AND
RISK OF
TANK EXPLOSION
, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
TO AVOID RISK OF TANK
FAILURE DURING USE, DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE OR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF
OPERATION TO PREVENT CONDENSATION BUILD-UP AND TANK CORROSION.
DO NOT
PERFORM
WELDING OR REPAIR
OPERATIONS ON THE
AIR TANK
OF THIS
COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR
TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY
HAZARDOUS CONDITION
. WELDING
ON THE TANK IN ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Ventilation:
Risk of fire or explosion - Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area
. Spray area
must be well ventilated.
Do not smoke
while spraying and
do not spray where spark or
flame
is present. Keep compressors as far from spraying area as possible.
Risk of Burns:
All air compressors generate heat, even operating under normal conditions.
• To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately after operation.
