AIR TANK
The tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
(for units with tanks greater than 6 inch diameter) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels must be
inspected once every two years. To find your state
pressure vessel inspector, look under the Division of
Labor and Industries in the government section of a
phone book or call 1-800-4DEWALT for assistance.
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. Drain tank daily or after each
use. If tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new tank or
new compressor outfit.
2. Modifications or attempted repairs to the compressor tank. Never
drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the tank or its
attachments.
3. Modifications of the pressure switch, safety valve, or any other
components that control tank pressure. The tank is designed to
withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or
substitute parts to alter the factory set operating pressures.
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 resulting in serious injury. Follow the equipment manu-
facturers 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..
