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 PRES-
SURE 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 SERI-
OUS 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 COM-
BUSTIBLE 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 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 VENTILA-
TION OPENINGS.
