Bursting
HOW TO PREVENT IT
· Drain the tank DAILY or
after each use. If tank
develops a leak, replace it
immediately with a new
tank or new compressor
unit.
· Never drill into, weld, or
make any modifications to
the tank or its attachments.
Never attempt to repair a
damaged or leaking tank.
Replace with a new tank.
· 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
regulated air pressure
guage to the air outlet of
your compressor.
· Follow the equipment
manufacturers
recommendation and never
exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use the
compressor to inflate small
low-pressure objects such
as children's toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The following
conditions could lead to
a weakening of the
tank, and RESULT IN A
VIOLENT TANK
EXPLOSION
RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY TO
YOU OR OTHERS:
• Failure to properly
drain condensed
water from the tank,
causing rust and
thinning of the tank
wall.
• Modifications or
attempted repairs to
the tank.
• Unauthorized
modifications to the
pressure switch,
safety valve, or any
other components,
which control tank
pressure.
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
to you and others.
