RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (continued)
AIR TANKS:
Due to condensation associated with the process of compressing air, moisture will build up inside your
compressor's air tank. Drain tanks of moisture daily (See General Maintenance). Failure to drain moisture from
the tanks properly could lead to the formation of rust and thinning of the steel tank.
FAILURE TO REGULARLY DRAIN TANK MAY CAUSE TANK CORROSION AND RISK OF
TANK EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. TO AVOID RISK OF TANK FAILURE
DURING USE, DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE OR EVERY FOUR HOURS OF OPERATION
TO PREVENT CONDENSATION BUILD-UP AND TANK CORROSION.
DO NOT PERFORM WELDING OR REPAIR OPERATIONS ON THE AIR TANK OF THIS
COMPRESSOR. WELDING ON THE AIR COMPRESSOR TANK CAN SEVERELY IMPAIR
TANK STRENGTH AND CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. WELDING
ON THE TANK IN ANY MANNER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
VENTILATION:
Risk of fire or explosion - Do not spray flammable liquid in a confined area. Spray area
must be well ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying and do not spray where spark or
flame is present. Keep compressors as far from spraying area as possible.
RISK OF BURNS:
All air compressors generate heat, even operating under normal conditions.
• To avoid serious burns, never touch the cylinder head parts or tubing during or immediately after operation.
