WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air
compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life
is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operat-
ing conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modi-
fications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these
factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corro-
sion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank
to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefullyescape,posingriskofinjurytoconsumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the
end of the year shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops
when accessory is used. When the tank pressure drops to a certain
low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at
which the motor automatically restarts is called cut-in pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and
begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds
to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts
off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.
The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called cut-out
pressure.
Branch Circuit: The circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel
to outlet.
Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running
continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor,
it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be
maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more
than 30–45 minutes in any given hour.
