What can happen
• Failure to properly drain condensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.
• Modifications or attempted repairs
to the air tank.
• Unauthorized modifications to the
safety valve or any other compo-
nents which control air tank pres-
sure.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflata-
bles can cause them to explode or
fly apart, and could result in serious
injury.
Tires:
• Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.
What can happen
• Your air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, if it is not used
properly it may cause electric
shock.

How to prevent it
• 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 compres-
sor.
• 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.
• The air tank is designed to with-
stand specific operating pressures.
Never make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory set
operating pressures.
• Follow the equipment manufactur-
ers 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, basket-
balls, etc.
• 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 simi-
lar equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to
no more than the rating of the tire pres-
sure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
How to prevent it
• Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or in wet
conditions.
• Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or
damaged.
