WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

Air _nk

• THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS

C_ lead to a weakening of the tank,
and RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK

EXPL0__ION:

1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN
condensed'WATER FROM THE
T_, causing rust and thinning

of the tank steel.

2. MODIFICATIONS or attempted

repairs TO TI4.E TANK.

3. Unauthorized MODIFICATIONS TO

THE PRESSURE

SAF VA OR any OTHER

COMPONENTS WHICH CONTROL
tank PRESSURE.

Attachments and Accessories

EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING
OF AIR TOOLS. spray guns, air operated

accessories, tires AND other
INFLATABLES CAN CAUSE THEM TO
EXPL__Xp__=or fly apart, and could result in
serious injury.

DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH
USE. If tank develops a leak, replace it

immediately with a new tank or new
compressor outfit.

NEVER drill into, weld, or MAKE ANY

MODIFICATIONS TO THE TANK or its

attachments. Never attempt to repair a
damaged or leaking tank. Replace with a
new tank.

The tank is designed to withstand
specific operating pressures.

MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS

SUBSTITUTIONS TO alter the

FACTORY SET operating P_.

FOR essential CONTROL OF AIR
PRESSURE. you must INSTALL A

PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
REGULATED AIR PRESSURE GAI,I_E to

the air outlet of your compressor,

Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed the

maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments. NEVER USE THE
COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL
LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS SUCH AS

CHILDREN'S TOYS. FOOTBALLS.

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of mea-

sure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure
of pressure.

ASME:American,Society of Mechanical Engineers; made,
tested, inspected and registered to meetthe standards

of the ASME.

UL Listed: Underwriters Laboratories; samples of com-
pressor outfits taken from production were submitted to
UL and found to comply with their requirements for

design and performance.

Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn onyouraircompres-

sorand itbegins torun, air pressure intheairtank begins

to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the

motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank
from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pres-

sure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out

pressure."

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pres-
suredrops as you continueto useyour accessory.When

the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor
willre-start automatically. The low pressureat whichthe

motor automatically re-starts iscalled "cut-in pressure."

To Lock-Out Power: Place a lock on the line power
switch so no one else can turn on the power.
