I_1
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.
1.
What Could
Happen
Failure to properly drain
condensed
water from tank,
causing
rust and thinning
of the
steel tank.
2.
Modifications
or attempted
repairs
to the tank.
3.
Unauthorized

other components
which control
tank pressure.
4.

vibration
can weaken
the air tank and cause rupture
or
explosion
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,
and could result in serious injury.
How To Prevent it
Drain tank daily or after each use. If
tank develops a leak, replace it
immediately
with a new tank or replace
the entire compressor.
Never drill into, weld, or make any
modifications
to the tank or its
attachments.
The tank is designed to withstand
specific
operating
pressures. Never make
adjustments
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 smaU low pressure
objects
such
as children's
toys, footballs,
