The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank,
and result in a violent tank explosion:
DANGER: Risk of Bursting.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from tank
causes rust and thinning of
the steel tank.
• Modifications or attempted
repairs to the tank.
• Unauthorized modifications
to the safety valve, or any
other components which
control tank pressure.
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 air compressor.
• Never drill into, weld or
make any modifications to
the tank or its attachments.
Never attempt to repair a
damaged or leaking tank.
Replace with a new tank.
• The tank is designed to
withstand specific operating
pressures. Never make ad-
justments or part substitu-
tions to alter the factory set
operating pressures.
Attachments & Accessories:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Exceeding the pressure rat-
ing 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.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury and
property damage.
NOTICE: Tanks, air compressors and similar equipment can
inflate small tires 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.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Follow the equipment man-
ufacturers recommendation
and never exceed the max-
imum allowable pressure
rating of attachments.
Never use air compressor
to inflate small low pressure
objects such as children's
toys, footballs, basketballs,
etc.
Tires:
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• 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.
