HAZARD RISk OF SERIOUS INjURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN TRANSPORTING COMPRESSOR WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT • Oilcanleakorspillandcouldresultin fire or breathing hazard; serious injury or death can result. Oil leaks will damage carpet, paint or other surfaces in vehicles or trailers. •Alwaysplacecompressoronaprotective mat when transporting to protect against damage to vehicle from leaks. Remove compressor from vehicle immediately upon arrival at your destination. • Always transport and store unit in an upright position. 3 - ENG N020206 HAZARD RISk OF BURSTING HAZARD RISk OF BURSTING Air Tank: The air tank on your compressor is designed and may be UM coded [for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152.4 mm) diameter] according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor and Industries in the government section of a phone book . The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion: WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT •Failuretoproperlydraincondensedwater from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank. •Drainairtankdailyoraftereachuse. If air tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new air tank or replace the entire compressor. •Modificationsorattemptedrepairs to the air tank. •Neverdrillinto,weld,ormakeanymodifications to the air tank or its attachments. Never attempt to repair a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank. • Unauthorizedmodifications to the safety valve or any other components which control air tank pressure. • Theairtankisdesignedtowithstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures. • Excessivevibrationcanweakentheair tank of a stationary compressor and cause an explosion. •Thecompressormustbeproperlymounted, see Anchoring under Installation. Attachments & accessories: •Exceedingthepressureratingofair tools, spray guns, air operated accessories, tires, and other inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart, and could result in serious injury. • Followtheequipmentmanufacturers recommendation and never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating of attachments. Never use compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, etc. Tires: • Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage. • Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure. NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires similar to these very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.
