DANGER: RISK OF INJURY OR PROP ER TY DAMAGE WHEN
TRANSPORTING OR STORING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Oil can leak or spill and could
result in fire or breathing hazard;
serious injury or death can
result. Oil leaks will 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 WALT for assistance.
e
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 on a
protective mat when transporting to
protect against damage to vehicle
from leaks. Remove compressor
from vehicle immediately upon
arrival at your destination. Always
keep compressor level and never lie
on its side.
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
components which control air
tank pressure.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of
air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other
inflatables can cause them to
explode or fly apart, and could
result in serious injury.

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 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.
