AIR TANK
The tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
(for units with tanks greater than 6 inch diameter)
according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All
pressure vessels must be inspected once every two
years. To find your state pressure vessel inspector,
look under the Division of Labor and Industries in
the government section of a phone book or call 1-
800-4DEWALT for assistance.
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. Drain tank daily or
after each use. If tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a
new tank or new compressor outfit.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs to the compressor tank.
Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
3. Modifications of the pressure switch, safety valve, or any other
components that control tank pressure. The tank is designed to
withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or
substitute parts 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, resulting in serious injury. 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..
