•  Failure to properly drain

condensed water from 

air tank, causing rust and 

thinning of the steel air tank.

 •  Drain air tank daily or after

each use. If air tank develops 

a leak, replace it immediately 

with a new air tank or replace 

the entire compressor.

•  Modifications or attempted

repairs to the air tank.

•  Never drill into, weld, or make

any modifications to the air 

tank or its attachments. Never 

attempt to repair a damaged or 

leaking air tank. Replace with a 

new air tank.

•  Unauthorized modifications to

the safety valve or any other 

components which control air 

tank pressure.

•  The air tank is designed

to withstand specific 

operating pressures. Never 

make adjustments or parts

substitutions to alter the factory 

set operating pressures.

Attachments & accessories:
 •  Exceeding the pressure

rating of air tools, spray guns, 

air operated accessories, 

tires, and other inflatables 

can cause them to explode or 

fly apart, and could result in 

serious injury.

•  Follow the equipment

manufacturers 

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.

•  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 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.

  •  Your air compressor is

powered by electricity. 

Like any other electrically 

powered device, If it is not 

used properly it may cause 

electric shock.

 •  Never operate the

compressor outdoors when it 

is raining or in wet conditions.

 •  Never operate compressor

with protective covers 

removed or damaged.
