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.
• Exposure to chemicals in dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may be harmful.
• Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents,
paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, may
contain harmful vapors and poisons.
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published
Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several
factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field
modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is
difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air
receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your tank
warning label.
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 modifications to the safety valve
or any other components which control air tank
pressure.
