RISK OF BURSTING
RISK OF
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
AIR TANK
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD
LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND
RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION:
1.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN
CONDENSED
WATER FROM THE TANK,
CAUSING RUST AND THINNING OF THE
STEEL TANK.
2.
MODIFICATIONS
OR ATTEMPTED
REPAIRS
TO THE TANK.
3. UNAUTHORIZED
MODIFICATIONS TO
THE PRESSURE SWITCH, SAFETY
VALVE, OR
ANY
OTHER COMPONENTS
WHICH CONTROL
TANK
PRESSURE.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES
EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING OF
AIR TOOLS,
SPRAY GUNS, AIR OPERATED
ACCESSORIES, TIRES AND OTHER
INFLATABLES
CAN CAUSE THEM TO EX-
PLODE
OR FLY APART, AND COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE
AIR TANK
OF A STATIONARY COMPRESSOR
AND
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL
CONTACTS
WITHIN THE MOTOR AND
PRESSURE SWITCH
TO SPARK.
IF
ELECTRICAL
SPARKS
FROM COMPRES-
SOR
COME INTO CONTACT WITH
FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE,
CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING
ANY OF THE
COMPRESSOR
VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS OVERHEATING AND COULD
CAUSE FIRE.
DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE.
IF TANK DEVELOPS A LEAK, REPLACE IT
IMMEDIATELY WITH A NEW TANK OR NEW
COMPRESSOR OUTFIT.
NEVER DRILL INTO, WELD, OR MAKE ANY
MODIFICATIONS TO THE TANK OR ITS
ATTACHMENTS.
THE TANK IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND
SPECIFIC OPERATING PRESSURES. NEVER
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS SUBSTI-
TUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY SET
OPERATING PRESSURES.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRES-
SURE, YOU MUST INSTALL A PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND PRESSURE GAUGE TO
THE AIR OUTLET OF YOUR COMPRESSOR.
FOLLOW THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTUR-
ERS RECOMMENDATION AND NEVER
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PRES-
SURE RATING OF ATTACHMENTS. NEVER
USE COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL
LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS SUCH AS
CHILDREN’S TOYS, FOOTBALLS,
BASKETBALLS. ETC.
THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY
MOUNTED, SEE INSTALLATION PROCE-
DURES.
ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN
A WELL VENTILATED AREA FREE OF
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE
OR SOLVENT VAPORS.
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
LOCATE COMPRESSOR AT LEAST 20
FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA. AN
ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE
REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A
SECURE LOCATION AWAY FROM
COMPRESSOR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON
TOP OF COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COM-
PRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 12
INCHES AWAY FROM ANY WALL OR
OBSTRUCTION THAT WOULD RESTRICT
THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE
VENTILATION OPENINGS.
