Risk of explosion. To prevent possible serious
or fatal in jury and/or damage to equipment, system
pressure must be less than 125 pounds per square
inch gauge (psig) under any circumstances. Failure to
follow this instruction can result in tank explosion.
If system discharge pressure can exceed 125 psig,
install a relief valve capable of passing the full pump
volume at 125 psig. Install relief valve in pump
supply line to tank, as close to tank as possible.
Risk of freezing. To avoid possible
equipment failure, severe injury, and property damage,
do not allow pump, tank, or piping system to freeze.

General Safety

All tanks are factory pre-charged with air. When
installing tank, adjust pre-charge to 2 psig below pump
cut-in pressure setting. To do this, bleed air from or add
air to the valve on top of the tank.
NOTICE Always set pre-charge with NO WATER in tank.
Check pressure frequently with an accurate tire pressure
gauge until correct pressure has been reached. For
correct pre-charge pressure settings, see Table 1.
