IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
- Always use eye protection when using tools. If raising dust/debris, wear a suitable mask. Always operate tank in a safe manner, protecting yourself and others in the work area from possible injury.
- Be sure the tank is under no pressure before removing any of the fittings.
- Always make sure the pressure gauge/valve assembly, hose and tire chuck are secure, and without damage to allow safe operation of the tank.
- DO NOT OVERFILL! Use tank within its rated capacity and only for its designated purposes. Overfilling air tanks will cause premature wear, permanent damage, injury and/or dangerous situations and will void warranty.
- DO NOT fill from a system charged with more than 150 PSI or from any compressed gas cylinder.
- Please discard the tank, if the date stamped on the canister has passed.
- Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and damage prior to using tool. Do not carry or drag tank by the air hose. Keep air hose free from obstruction, twisting and binding. The hose length, which comes standard with this model, will provide the most efficient flow of air and decrease pressure problems in the hose and valves.
- If a leak should develop in the tank, discard the tank immediately. DO NOT weld on any tank designed to contain pressure.
OPERATION
- This air tank is rated to 125 PSI. Please make a note of the maximum pressure the item you are filling can accommodate.
- Turn the red On/Off air adjustment dial to ON. This allows the air to flow into the hose from the tank.
- Press the tire air chuck onto the filling stem of the item you intend to fill until the air flows into the item.
- When the item is filled or the maximum PSI for the item you are filling is reached, remove the tire air chuck from the filling stem. The tank pressure must exceed the pressure of the item you are filling. If not, the tank will appear to be unable to expel air. Increase the tank pressure, or check that your On/Off air adjustment dial is fully open.
- After using your air tank, turn the On/Off air adjustment dial to the OFF position. This closes the valve between the tank and the hose and prevents air from leaking from the hose or valves.
- If the air tank will be sitting unused for a long period of time, expel all the air inside the tank and hose and store in a clean, dry location.
FILLING
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR PORTABLE AIR TANK MAY BE FILLED AND THE PRESSURE GAUGE MAY BE READ WITH THE AIR ADJUSTMENT DIAL IN THE OFF POSITION.
Fill the tank from a clean, dry, compressed air source to a maximum of 125 PSI. Your local full service gas stations or truck stops provide the best access to ready compressed air sources. This tank is easy to fill.
Simply press the chuck from your compressed air source to the fill stem. Watch the needle on the pressure gauge as the tank fills.
DO NOT OVERFILL! Fill your tank until the pressure gauge reads between 85 and 125 PSI, for your safety and the safety of others. Clean air of the correct pressure is recommended for the proper functioning of this air tank.
Check specifications on the item(s) you are inflating or filling for recommended maximum PSI. Water in the air tank and/or air hose contribute to reduced performance and possible damage to your tank and the item you are filling.
MAINTENANCE
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank.
Condensation from the air added to the air tank will accumulate on the inside of the tank. Eventually this may cause rusting which will weaken the welds. Water in the air supply line will cause gumming and power loss. Open the tank and drain water as necessary by turning the canister upside down. Press the needle, using a screwdriver, to drain water from tank. The tank requires a PSI of 10-20 to drain.
Be aware of the destroy date of your tank which is located on the side of the handle.
Be aware of and discard the tank before the destroy date.

TROUBLESHOOTING
INSUFFICIENT AIR FLOW
| Probable Cause | Solution |
| Loss of air pressure | Possible leak. Locate by applying soap & water mixture to seams, fittings, etc. |
| Tank fills slowly | Check opening for obstructions. Clean or replace as necessary or check your air source, make sure it is 125 PSI. |
| Tank won't hold enough air | Check air pressure at fill stem with a tire gauge. Replace pressure gauge if it does not agree. Or check your air source, make sure it is 85-125 PSI. |
| Air leakage | Use teflon/thread tape on fittings, hoses and gauge. Check tank for dirty, worn or damaged parts. Replace as necessary. |
| Gauge won't register/ /registers incorrectly | Be sure that the needle is moving freely by tapping the gauge. |
| Tank won't accept air Chuck pin floating or "crooked" | Fill stem pin may be bent. Replace air manifold. Turn On/Off air adjustment dial to the ON position. |
| Safety pressure bypass valve seeps air | Pull ring twice to seat with pressure in tank. |
