damage carpet, paint or other
surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may
be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch diameter)
according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels
should be inspected once every two years. To find your state pressure
vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and Industries in
the government section of a phone book or call 1-800-4-D
assistance.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank and
result in a violent air tank explosion:
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always place compressor

a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace
the entire compressor.
• 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 withstand specific
operating pressures. Never
make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory
set operating pressures.
• 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.
