Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air com-
pressor 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 mainte-
nance. The effect of these factors on the tank life is unpredict-
able. If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal
corrosion to the inner wall of the tank can cause the tank to
unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers. Your air
compressor's tank must be removed from service by the end of
the year shown on the tank warning label.

respiratory protection or
properly fitting face mask
designed for use with your
