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,

ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES
EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING OF AIR
TOOLS,
SPRAY GUNS, AIR OPERATED ACCES-
SORIES, TIRES AND OTHER INFLATABLES
CAN
CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE
OR FLY APART, AND
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS
WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH
TO SPARK.
IF
ELECTRICAL
SPARKS
FROM COMPRESSOR
COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE
VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE, CAUSING FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING
ANY OF THE
COMPRESSOR
VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERI-
OUS OVERHEATING AND COULD CAUSE FIRE.
YOUR
AIR COMPRESSOR IS POWERED BY
ELECTRICITY.
LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTRICALLY
POWERED DEVICE,
IF IT IS NOT USED
PROPERLY IT MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
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

TIONS TO
ALTER THE
FACTORY SET
OPERATING
PRESSURES.
FOLLOW THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS
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.
ALWAYS
OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A
WELL VENTILATED
AREA FREE OF COMBUS-
TIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR SOLVENT
VAPORS.
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
LO-
CATE 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 COM-
PRESSOR.
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.
NEVER OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR OUT-
