IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING
THIS TOOL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
- Always use eye protection when using tools. If raising dust/debris, wear a suitable mask. Always safely operate tank, protecting yourself and others in the work area from possible injury.
- Be sure the tank is under no pressure before removing any of the fittings.
- Always make sure the pressure gauge/valve assembly, hose and tire chuck are secure, and without damage to allow safe operation of the tank.
- DO NOT OVERFILL! Use tank within its rated capacity and only for its designated purposes. Overfilling air tanks will cause premature wear, permanent damage, injury and/or dangerous situations and will void warranty.
- DO NOT fill from a system charged with more than 150 PSI or from any compressed gas cylinder.
- Please discard the tank, if the date stamped on the canister has passed.
- Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and damage before using tool. Do not carry or drag tank by the air hose. Keep air hose free from obstruction, twisting and binding. The hose length, which comes standard with this model, will provide the most efficient flow of air and decrease pressure problems in the hose and valves.
- If a leak should develop in the tank, discard the tank immediately. DO NOT weld on any tank designed to contain pressure.
OPERATION
- This air tank is rated to 125 PSI. Please make a note of the maximum pressure the item you are filling can accommodate.
- Turn the red On/Off air adjustment dial to ON. This allows the air to flow into the hose from the tank.
- Press the tire air chuck onto the filling stem of the item you intend to fill until the air flows into the item.
- When the item is filled or the maximum PSI for the item you are filling is reached, remove the tire air chuck from the filling stem. The tank pressure must exceed the pressure of the item you are filling. If not, the tank will appear to be unable to expel air. Increase the tank pressure, or check that your On/Off air adjustment dial is fully open.
- After using your air tank, turn the On/Off air adjustment dial to the OFF position. This closes the valve between the tank and the hose and prevents air from leaking from the hose or valves.
- If the air tank will be sitting unused for a long period, expel all the air inside the tank and hose and store in a clean, dry location.
FILLING YOUR PORTABLE AIR TANK
PLEASE NOTE: YOUR PORTABLE AIR TANK MAY BE FILLED AND THE PRESSURE GAUGE
MAY BE READ WITH THE AIR ADJUSTMENT DIAL IN THE OFF POSITION.
Fill the tank from a clean, dry, compressed air source to a maximum of 125
PSI. Your local full-service gas stations or truck stops provide the best
access to ready compressed air sources. This tank is easy to fill. Simply
press the chuck from your compressed air source to the fill stem. Watch the
needle on the pressure gauge as the tank fills.
DO NOT OVERFILL! Fill your tank until the pressure gauge reads between 85 and
125 PSI, for your safety and the safety of others. Clean air of the correct
pressure is recommended for the proper functioning of this air tank.
Check specifications on the items) you are inflating or filling for the
recommended maximum PSI. Water in the air tank and/or air hose contributes to
reduced performance and possible damage to your tank and the item you are
filling.
MAINTENANCE
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank. Condensation from the air added to
the air tank will accumu- late on the inside of the tank. Eventually, this may
cause rust- ing which will weaken the welds. Water in the air supply line will
cause gumming and power loss. Open the tank and drain the water as necessary
by turning the canister upside down. Press the needle, using a screwdriver, to
drain water from the tank. The tank requires a PSI of 10-20 to drain.
Be aware of the destroy date of your tank which is located on the side of the
handle.
Be aware of and discard the tank before the destroy date.

TROUBLESHOOTING
INSUFFICIENT AIR FLOW:
| Issue | Probable Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of air pressure | Possible leak. | Locate by applying soap & water mixture |
to seams, fittings, etc.
Tank fills slowly| Check opening for obstructions.| Clean or replace as
necessary or check your air source, make sure it is 125 PSI.
Tank won’t hold enough air| Check air pressure at fill stem with a tire
gauge.| Replace pressure gauge if it does not agree. Or check your air source,
make sure it is 85-125 PSI.
Air leakage| Use teflon/thread tape on fittings, hoses, and gauge.| Check tank
for dirty, worn, or damaged parts. Replace as necessary.
Gauge won’t register/registers incorrectly| Be sure that the needle is moving
freely by tapping the gauge.| Fill stem pin may be bent. Replace air manifold.
Tank won’t accept air| Turn On/Off air adjustment dial to the ON position.| If
pin is lodged, tap back of chuck on a hard surface.
Chuck pin floating or “crooked” position| Safety pressure bypass valve seeps
air| Pull ring twice to seat with pressure in tank.
