USER MANUAL
AIR TANK PRECAUTIONS:
IMPORTANT: 
a.		The	air	source	kit	air	tank	is	rated	for	200	PSI	maximum	 
	 working	pressure.		Do	not	overfill.	Overfilling	may	result	in	 
	 death	or	serious	injury.
b.	Tank	is	not	to	be	used	as	a	breathing	device.
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.	
DRAIN TANK OFTEN TO REMOVE CONDENSATE. 
FAILURE TO DRAIN TANK WILL ALLOW TANK TO 
RUST INTERNALLY.
a.	To	remove	any	accumulated	condensation	inside	the	tank,	 
	 bleed	pressure	from	tank	until	pressure	is	approximately	 
	 5	PSI	to	20	PSI.		
b.	Drain	water	from	tank	by	opening	the	drain	cock	drain	valve.
c.		If	drain	cock	is	plugged,	release	all	air	pressure	from	tank,	 
	 remove	drain	valve	and	clean,	then	reinstall.			
d.	After	condensate	has	been	drained,	close	the	drain	cock.		
IMPORTANT:		Observe	air	tank	Date	of	Manufacture	(stamped	
on	tank	leg).		Replace	air	tank	2	to	5	years	from	date	air	tank	
was	first	used,	or	use	the	date	of	manufacture	as	reference.	
Your	adherence	to	air	tank	draining	guidelines	will	determine	
the	replacement	date	of	your	air	tank.		RUSTED	TANKS	CAN	
FAIL	CAUSING	EXPLOSIONS	OR	FATAL	INJURIES.	Discard	
tank immediately if tank is rusted. 
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;	open	the	relief	valve	to	vent	any	
pressure	inside	the	tank	before	attempting	to	service	tank.
