NOTE: ELECTRICAL WIRING. Refer to the air compressor's serial
label for the unit's voltage and amperage requirements. Ensure that
all wiring is done by a licensed electrician, in accordance with the
National Electrical code.
RISK OF BURSTING.
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 causes 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.
1. Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A clean, dry tank will help
prevent corrosion.
2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the valve is functioning
properly, and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be kept a
minimum of 12" (31 cm) from the nearest wall, in a well–ventilated area.
 DANGER
• 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 withstand
specific operating pressures.
Never make adjustments or part
substitutions to alter the factory set
operating pressures.
