HOW TO PREVENT IT
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The compressed air stream can cause soft
tissue damage to exposed skin and can
propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and small
objects at high speed, resulting in property
damage or personal injury.
Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety
glasses with side shields when using the
compressor.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward
any part of the body or at other people or
animals.
Always turn the compressor off and bleed
pressure from the air hose and tank before
attempting maintenance, attaching tools or
accessories.
Drain tank daily or after each use. If tank
develops a leak, replace it immediately with a
new tank or replace the entire compressor.
1. Failure to properly drain condensed
water from tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel tank.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs to
the tank.
3. Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control tank
pressure.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the tank or its attachments.
4. Excessive vibration can weaken the
air tank and cause rupture or
explosion
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make
adjustments or parts substitutions to alter
the factory set operating pressures.
For essential control of air pressure, you must
install a pressure regulator and pressure
gauge to the air outlet (if not equipped) of
your compressor. Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation and never
exceed the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments.
ATT
ACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,
spray guns, air operated accessories, tires,
and other inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could result in
serious injury.
