RISk OF SERIOUS INjURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
WHEN TRANSPORTING COMPRESSOR
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Oil can leak or spill and could result
in fire or breathing hazard; serious
injury or death can result. Oil leaks
will damage carpet, paint or other
surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
RISk OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your compressor is designed and may be UM coded [for
units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 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.
• Unauthorized modifica-
tions to the safety valve or
any other components which
control air tank pressure.
•
Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank of a stationary com-
pressor and cause an explosion.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air oper-
ated accessories, tires, and other
inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could
result in serious injury.

HAZARD
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always place compressor on a
protective mat when transport-
ing to protect against damage to
vehicle from leaks. Remove com-
pressor from vehicle immediately
upon arrival at your destination.
HAZARD
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.
• The air tank is designed to with-
stand specific operating pres-
sures. Never make adjustments
or parts substitutions to alter the
factory set operating pressures.
•
The compressor must be properly
mounted, see Anchoring under
Installation.
• Follow the equipment manufac-
turers 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, bas-
ketballs, etc.
