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.
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 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 parts
substitutions to alter the factory
set operating pressures.
• Follow the equipment
manufacturers
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, basketballs, etc.
tires:
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury and
property damage.
WARNING: RISk Of ElECTRICAl SHOCk
WHAt CAn HAPPen
• Your air compressor is
powered by electricity.
Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not
used properly it may cause
electric shock.
5
• Use a tire pressure gauge to
check the tires pressure before
each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for
the correct tire pressure.
nOte: Air tanks, compressors
and similar equipment used to
inflate tires can fill small tires very
rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator
on air supply to no more than the
rating of the tire pressure. Add air
in small increments and frequent-
ly use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
HOW tO PreVent It
• Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or
in wet conditions.
• Never operate compressor
with protective covers
removed or damaged.
