Important Safety Information (Continued)
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken
the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
•
Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.
•
Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture
or depressurizing the compressor system.
•
Do not tamper with governor setting on engine. Overspeeding the unit severely shortens engine life and may
also be very hazardous.
Spraying Precautions
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
•
Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.
•
Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire
hazards.
•
Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulation on the compressor.
•
When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
