HAZARD

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 HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Failure to properly drain condensed

water from air tank, causing rust and

thinning of the steel airtank.

• 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.

• Modifications or attempted repairs to the

airtank.

• 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.

• Unauthorized modifications to the safety

valve or any other components which

control air tankpressure.

• The air tank is designed to withstand

specific operating pressures.

Never make adjustments or parts

substitutions to alter the factory set

operatingpressures.

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.

• 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.

• 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 frequently use the

tire gauge to prevent overinflation.
