SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

1. Assemble only according to these instructions. Improper assembly can create hazards.
2. Do not operate the product if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment/reflexes might be impaired.
3. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving parts.
4. Protective gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended.
5. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
6. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles.

Work Area

TO AVOID RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, FIRE, AND SHOCK MAKE SURE YOUR WORK AREA IS:

1. Free of damp, wet, or rainy conditions.
2. Free of flammable gasses or liquids.
3. Free of children (never let them handle tools or machinery).
4. Well-lit. 5. Clean and uncluttered. 6. Well-ventilated.

Before Operating

1. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
2. Before operating your Air Tank, check for damaged parts.
3. Do not exceed the maximum PSI air pressure (see Specifications Chart).
4. Use compressed air only.
5. When filling the tank, do not over-pressurize.
6. Do not overinflate. Never exceed the maximum pressure rating of any inflatable. Check pressure frequently during inflation.
7. Pull the Safety Pressure Bypass Valve prior to operation to ensure that the valve is functioning properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
8. Beware of possible explosion. The unit is capable of producing compressed air at high pressure which could cause tires, toys, or other inflatables to explode. This could result in serious injury.
9. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to prevent damage from the elements.
10. Do not fill from any compressed gas cylinder.
11. Only fill with air from a service station or low-pressure air compressor.
12. Do not fill Air Tank with anything other than air.
13. Do not expose the Air Tank to severe moisture or extreme heat.

  Operation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Filling the Tank

1. Take your Air Tank to any source of clean and dry compressed air. A full-service gas station or truck stop is preferable.
2. Attach air hose from the service station or low-pressure Air Compressor system to the air fitting on the Manifold (4).
3. Begin pumping air into the Air Tank.

Note: Monitor the Pressure Gauge (3) as you fill the Air Tank. Fill as needed. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not overfill tank.

Releasing Air From Tank

1. Turn the round On/Off Wheel (5) counter-clockwise to the open position. This allows air to flow from the Air Tank (1) through the Air Hose (2).
2. Next place the Outlet Valve at the end of the Air Hose (2) over the valve of the object to be inflated.
3. Once the pin inside the Outlet Valve is depressed, air will begin to flow out from the Air Tank into the object being inflated. Once you are finished inflating air into the object, remove the Outlet Valve and the air will stop being released from the tank.

WARNING! Do not overinflate. Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating of any inflatable object. Check pressure frequently during inflation. The Air Tank should be examined periodically. If any damage to the welds is noted do not use the tank.

1. Press the Air Chuck (7) onto the fill stem of the inflatable item.
2. Turn the red Adjustment Dial (6) counterclockwise to ON. This will let the airflow from the Tank and into the Hose (3). DO NOT OVER-INFLATE.
3. Once the item is filled with the recommended max. PSI level, remove the Air Chuck from the item’s fill stem.
4. Note: The Tank pressure must exceed the pressure of the item you are filling. If not, the Tank will be unable to expel air. If this happens, increase the Tank pressure and check that the ON/OFF Adjustment Dial is fully open. WARNING: Never fill the tank to over 125 PSI (over 140 PSI for the 94801 7 Gallon Tank).
5. When done, turn Adjustment Dial to OFF. This will close the valve between the Tank and Hose and keep air from leaking.
6. If the Tank will not be used for a long period of time, expel the air inside the Tank and hose. Store in a clean and dry location away from children.

Maintenance

1. Regularly drain water condensation from of Tank, which can lead to internal corrosion and damage to the tank. To drain, hold Tank upside down and remove the Bypass Valve Spring (2).
2. Due to internal corrosion, do not use the tank beyond the destroy date stamped into the leg of the Tank (1). Safely disable the tank as follows:
   a. Depressurize the air tank completely, by holding the Bypass Valve Spring open.

WARNING! Failure to properly depressurize the tank before proceeding may result in serious personal injury.
b. Remove the pressure gauge and hose.
c. Deliver the tank to a pressure tank disposal service, if available.
d. If a pressure tank disposal service is not available, place the tank in a secure, stable ZRUNLQJORFDWLRQDQGGULOODWOHDVWWZRRU larger) holes through the side of the tank. Then, deliver to the appropriate recycling center.

Storing the Air Tank

1. Turn the round On/Off Wheel (5) clockwise to the Off position. This will keep air from leaking out of Air Hose.
2. Store in a dry, dust-free location away from children and any flammable materials.
3. To remove all air from the Air Tank, pull the Ring (13) until the Gauge indicates zero and the airflow stops.
