WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may
contain carbon monoxide, toxic
vapors, or solid particles from
the air tank. Breathing these
contaminants can cause serious
injury or death.
• Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover,
insecticides, weed killers, may
contain harmful vapors and
poisons.
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) diameter) 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
• Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
• Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air for human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and in-line
safety equipment must be properly
installed. In-line filters and safety
equipment used in conjunction with
the compressor must be capable
of treating air to all applicable local
and federal codes prior to human
consumption.
• 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.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• 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.
• 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.
