Instructions for Use

1. Maximum tank pressure of 80 psi. The safety relief valve is designed to protect the tank against excessive pressures. DO NOT
attempt to make adjustments to this valve. If this valve begins to vent air, reduce the setting on the air inlet regulator.
2. DO NOT alter the tank in any way by welding, drilling or machining as this may weaken the structure of the tank.
3. To prevent hazardous static sparks from occurring, always ground the tank by connecting a 12 ga. wire to the tank and to a
known earth ground.
4. Be sure tank pressure is completely relieved before attempting to remove tank cover or material fill cap. Shut off the main air
supply to the tank and vent pressure using the vent valve located on the tank lid
