conditions could lead to
a weakening of the
tank, and RESULT IN A
VIOLENT TANK
EXPLOSION
RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY TO
YOU OR OTHERS:
• Failure to properly
drain condensed
water from the tank,
causing rust and
thinning of the tank
wall.
• Modifications or
attempted repairs to
the tank.
• Unauthorized
modifications to the

use the compressor to
inflate small low-

as children's toys,
footballs, basketballs,
etc.
