no list of safety guidelines is complete, because every work environment is
different. always consider safety first and use common sense. failure to use this
tool with caution and respect could result in serious personal injury.

1. read this manual. this manual

contains proper operating instructions
for using this paint tank.

2. design modifications. do not

modify the tank design or construc-
tion. drilling into the tank or welding on
attachments, or altering its design, will
weaken the tank.

3. cleaning and maintenance.

Clean and dry the tank and lid accord-
ing to the instructions in this manual.
Make sure all ports are free of hard-
ened paint or other materials that could
prevent free movement of air. improper
cleaning could allow pressure to rise to
dangerous levels.

4. reactive chemicals. do not use

acids, caustic solutions, or halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents. these chemi-
cals can attack the lid gasket and
safety valve seal, compromising the
ability of the tank to hold pressure.
Avoid using lacquer in the tank, as it
ruins the teflon coating.

5. safety valve modifications.

never adjust the safety valve to change
its pressure setting or defeat its func-
tion. tampering with the safety valve
could allow tank pressure to rise to
dangerous levels.

the lid while the tank is under pres-
sure, or you could cause an explosion.
Follow the instructions in this manual
for relieving pressure in the tank before
removing the lid.

7. lid clamps. overtightening the lid

clamps could cause them to weaken
and fail, resulting in the lid being pro-
pelled violently from the tank. only
tighten the clamps by hand. do not use
tools to tighten them.

substituting non-standard components
could weaken the tank or cause com-
ponent failure. only use components
provided with your tank.

ment connected to the tank has a high-
er pressure rating than the regulated
air pressure in the tank. Attachments
