IMPORTANT: Please observe the air tank’s Date of Manufacture (stamped on tank leg). Replace the air tank 2 to 5 years from the date the air tank was first used, or use the date of manufacture as a reference. Your adherence to air tank draining guidelines will determine the replacement date of your air tank.
RUSTED TANKS CAN CAUSE EXPLOSIONS OR FATAL INJURIES. Discard the tank immediately if the tank is rusted internally.
NOTE: When using a safety pressure relief valve, point the safety pressure relief valve away from your body. Use the pull ring on the safety relief valve to open the relief valve to vent any pressure inside the tank before attempting to service the tank.
