Pay particular attention to the CAUTION and WARNING statements in this manual.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in personal injury or
property damage. Retain these instructions for future reference.
NOTE: Your air tank comes with two 1/4” NPT ports. To ensure the safe and
trouble-free use of your air tank, we strongly recommend that you install a
drain cock and a safety pressure relief valve.
IMPORTANT:
a. VIAIR tanks are rated for 150 PSI maximum working pressure. Do not over-
pressurize. Overpressuring may result in death or serious injury.

c. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses when operating air tank.
d. Bleed pressure from tank after each use and before servicing or adding
attachments.

CAUTION: DO NOT PRESSURIZE YOUR TANK UNTIL YOU HAVE INSTALLED ALL
NECESSARY PORT FITTINGS AND ACCESSORIES.
a. Apply sealant to threads of fittings prior to assembly and hand tighten
each part then use a wrench for airtight connection.
b. Do not over-tighten if your port fittings are made from brass since brass
threads can be stripped. The fittings need to be only airtight.
c. Always release air from the tank before servicing or repairs.
d. Wear safety glasses or goggles when operating this product.
WARNING: DRAIN TANK AFTER EACH USE. FAILURE TO DRAIN THE TANK AND REMOVE
CONDENSATION WILL CAUSE THE TANK TO RUST PREMATURELY.
a. To remove any accumulated condensation inside the tank, bleed pressure from
the tank until pressure is approximately 5 PSI to 20 PSI.
b. Drain water from the tank by opening the drain cock valve.
c. If the drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure from the tank.
Remove and clean the drain cock valve then reinstall.
d. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock.
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.
