Operating Procedures
Filling the Portable Air Tank
Take your portable air tank to any source of clean dry
compressed air. A full service gas station or truck stop is
preferable. Modern convenience mart type fi lling stations
do not have suffi cient air pressure available to allow you
to get the most from your air tank. It is recommended that
you fi ll your tank with air until the pressure gauge reads
between 95 to 135 psi. The air tank is fi lled like a car tire
by pressing the chuck from the source to the fi ller valve.
PLEASE NOTE: Tank can be fi lled and the pressure
gauge can be read with the RED ON/OFF KNOB in
the OFF position.
Using the Portable Air Tank
Turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB counter-clockwise to the
open position to allow air to fl ow from the tank into the
hose. To prevent air from leaking out of the tank between
uses, turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB clockwise to the
closed position.
Storage
STORING YOUR PORTABLE AIR TANK
Turn the RED ON/OFF KNOB CLOCKWISE to the OFF
position when storing your air tank.
Failure to remove condensation will cause the tank to
rust prematurely.
Always drain the tank of all air after the last use for the day
and before repairing or removing any component parts.
Point the safety pressure relief valve AWAY FROM YOUR
BODY when releasing air. Use the pull ring on the safety
relief valve to vent any pressure inside the tank before
attempting to service the tank. Safety goggles must be
worn at all times for eye protection.To disperse any
accumulated condensation inside the tank, begin by
reducing
the air pressure inside the tank by pulling out on the
safety valve and holding until the tank gauge reaches 25
psi. Invert the tank with the manifold facing downward and
pull the ring on the safety relief valve. We as the
manufacturer and you as the consumer have no control
over the moisture content of air coming from any fi ll
source. Premature rusting caused by condensation inside
the tank is the primary reason for the suggested
replacement date stamped on the tank.
• Never attempt to remove any components while tank is
pressurized.
• Never remove or deface the information sticker on tank.
• Never attempt to fi ll the tank if any air leak is detected in
the tank body. Discontinue use of the air tank
immediately.
• Warranty is void if any attempt is made to alter or modify
this unit in any way.
