Before Operating

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.

Before operating your Portable 10 Gallon Air Tank check for damaged parts.

Do not exceed the maximum 125 PSI storage pressure. Over pressurizing the Air Tank could result in an

explosion.

Do not over inflate. Never exceed the maximum pressure rating of any inflatable. Check pressure frequently

during inflation.

Pull the Safety Release valve ring prior to operation to ensure that the valve is functioning properly and to clear

the valve of any possible obstructions.

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.

Do not leave the Air Tank unattended while it is being filled by the air compressor. Unattended use could result

in explosion resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

Store the Air Tank when it’s not being used. Store in a dry location to prevent damage from the elements.

Do not fill from any compressed gas cylinder or a system charged with greater than 125 PSI.

Only fill with air from a service station or low pressure air compressor system.
