RISK OF
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
RISK OF BURSTING
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS CAN
BECOME IGNITED BY COMING INTO CON-
TACT WITH HOT COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE
MUFFLER, FROM ENGINE EXHAUST GASES,
OR FROM AN ELECTRICAL SPARK.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS WHICH COME
INTO CONTACT WITH HOT ENGINE PARTS
CAN BECOME IGNITED.
UNATTENDED OPERATION OF THIS PROD-
UCT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
AIR TANK
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD
LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND
RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION:
1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN
CONDENSED WATER FROM THE TANK,
CAUSING RUST AND THINNING OF THE
STEEL TANK.
2. MODIFICATIONS OR ATTEMPTED
REPAIRS TO THE TANK.
3. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO
THE UNLOADER VALVE, SAFETY
VALVE, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS
WHICH CONTROL TANK PRESSURE.
4. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN
THE AIR TANK AND CAUSE RUPTURE OR
EXPLOSION. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION
WILL OCCUR IF THE COMPRESSOR IS
NOT PROPERLY MOUNTED OR IF THE
ENGINE OPERATES ABOVE RECOM-
MENDED RPM.
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES
EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING OF AIR
TOOLS, SPRAY GUNS, AIR OPERATED
ACCESSORIES, TIRES AND OTHER
INFLATABLES CAN CAUSE THEM TO EX-
PLODE OR FLY APART, AND COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY.
TURN ENGINE OFF AND ALLOW IT TO
COOL BEFORE ADDING FUEL TO THE
TANK. EQUIP AREA OF OPERATION WITH A
FIRE EXTINGUISHER CERTIFIED TO HANDLE
GASOLINE OR FUEL FIRES.
ADD FUEL OUTDOORS OR IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. MAKE SURE THERE ARE
NO SOURCES OF IGNITION, SUCH AS
CIGARETTES NEAR REFUELING LOCATION.
OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA
AWAY FROM DRY BRUSH, WEEDS OR
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
STORE FUEL IN A SECURE LOCATION AWAY
FROM COMPRESSOR.
ALWAYS REMAIN IN ATTENDANCE WITH
THE PRODUCT WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE.
IF TANK DEVELOPS A LEAK, REPLACE IT
IMMEDIATELY WITH A NEW TANK OR NEW
COMPRESSOR OUTFIT.
NEVER DRILL INTO, WELD, OR MAKE ANY
MODIFICATIONS TO THE TANK OR ITS
ATTACHMENTS.
THE TANK IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND
SPECIFIC OPERATING PRESSURES. NEVER
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS SUBSTI-
TUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY SET
OPERATING PRESSURES.
DO NOT REMOVE THE STIFFENER BAR
CONNECTING THE COMPRESSOR PUMP TO
THE ENGINE, EXCEPT TO ADJUST BELT
TENSION, THEN SECURELY TIGHTEN THE
STIFFNER BAR NUTS. THIS BAR CON-
TROLS OUTFIT VIBRATION.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRES-
SURE, YOU MUST INSTALL A PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND PRESSURE GAUGE TO
THE AIR OUTLET OF YOUR
COMPRESSOR.FOLLOW THE EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURERS 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,
BASKETBALLS. ETC.
