• Never leave the tank pressurized for more than 15 minutes.
• The machine is equipped with a pressure relief valve that automatically depressurizes the
system when the maximum allowed pressure of 8 bar is exceeded. Nevertheless regularly
check the tank pressure meter to make sure the pressure in the tank is stable and does not
exceed 8 bar. If necessary depressurize the system by opening the ventilation valve.
