WARNING: Risk of Bursting
Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result
in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury.
How To Prevent It
What Could Happen
HAZARD
Drain tank daily or after each use. If
tank develops a leak, replace it immedi-
ately 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.
Never drill into, weld, or make any modi-
fications to the tank or its attachments.
Never attempt to repair a damaged or
leaking tank. Replace with a new tank.
4. Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture or
explosion. Excessive vibration will
occur if the compressor is not
properly mounted or if engine oper-
ates above recommended RPM.
The tank is designed to withstand specific
operating pressures. Never make adjust-
ments 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. Never use
compressor to inflate small low pressure
objects such as children’s toys, footballs,
basketballs, etc.
A
TTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:
Exceeding the pressure rating of air
tools, spray guns, air operated acces-
sories, tires, and other inflatables can
cause them to explode or fly apart, and
could result in serious injury.
3. Unauthorized modifications to the
unloader valve, safety valve, or any
other components which control
tank pressure.
Do not remove the stiffener bar con-
necting the compressor pump to the
engine, except to adjust belt tension,
Then securely tighten the stiffener bar
nuts. This bar controls unit vibration.
