Pressurized Tank Handling Safety
PRESSURIZED TANKS CAN EXPLODE WHEN DAMAGED.
1. Protect pressurized or closed tanks from
heat, being struck, physical damage,
flames, and sparks.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when filling or using the air tank.
Do not fill or use the air tank while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
2. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
Use Safety
1. Keep the air tank when it is full out of reach of
children and other untrained persons.
A air tank is dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Service
2. Always use proper procedures to
move pressurized tanks.
3. Always wear hearing protection when using
the air tank. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.
2. Check for breakage of parts and any other
condition that affects the air tank's operation.
If damaged, have the air tank serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained air tanks. There is a risk of
bursting if the air tank is damaged.
1. Air tank service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a air tank, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
Air Source
1. Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Over pressurizing the air tank may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the air tank or serious injury
to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated
compressed air at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on the air tank.
Always verify prior to filling the air tank that the air
source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
3. Maintain the air tank with care.
4. Safely discharge all air pressure from the
air tank before storing the air tank.
2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source
for the air tank. Such gases are capable of
explosion and serious injury to persons.
3. Obey the manual for the air compressor
used to power this air tank.
