• Sprayed materials such as
paint, paint solvents, paint
remover, insecticides, weed
killers, may contain harmful
vapors and poisons.
• Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use
with your specific application.
HAZARD
RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM
coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152 mm)) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once
every two years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the
Division of Labor and Industries in the government section of a phone book .
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the
air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from air
tank, causing rust and thinning
of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after
each use. If air tank develops
a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace
the entire compressor.
• Modifications or attempted
repairs to the air tank.
• Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
• Unauthorized modifications
to the safety valve or any
other components which
control air tank pressure.
• The air tank is designed
to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never
make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory
set operating pressures.
Attachments & 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.
• Follow the equipment
manufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the maximum
allowable pressure rating
of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children’s
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
