SPARK.
IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRESSOR
COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE
VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE, CAUSING FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR
VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS
OVERHEATING AND COULD CAUSE FIRE.

VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION AND COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN CONDENSED
WATER FROM THE TANK, CAUSING RUST
AND THINNING OF THE STEEL TANK.
2. MODIFICATIONS OR ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO
THE TANK.
3. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THE
UNLOADER VALVE, SAFETY VALVE, OR ANY
OTHER COMPONENTS WHICH CONTROL
TANK PRESSURE.
4. EXCESSIVE 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,

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 OF YOUR
