in a well ventilated area free
of combustible materials,
gasoline, or solvent vapors.
if spraying flammable materials,
locate compressor at least
20' (6,1 re) away from spray
area. An additional length of
air hose may be required.

__ RISK OF BURST|NG
Air Tank; On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
pubJished Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air comoressor receiver tanks co not have an infinite life. Tank tife is deoendent
upon several factors some of which include operating conditions, ambient condF
_ons, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance, The
exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to oredtct
if proper _aintenance eroceaures are not followed, interna_ corrosion to _ne
inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the a_rtank tr_ unexpectedly rupture
allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to
consumers°

Locate the compressor according to the foflowing guidelines:
a. Position the compressor near a grounded e!ectdcal outIet.
b, The compressor must be at least 12 inches (3I cm} from any wall or
Obstruction, in a clean welt-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and
cooling.
c, In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when
act in use. This will reduce problems with motor starting and freezing of
water condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the carton and place it on the floor or a hard,
level surface The compressor must be level to ensure proper drainage of
the moisture in the tank.
