SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Initial Tank Set Up/Assembly
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Air Supply
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tank.
Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases,
or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tank.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,, in-
line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best service,
as shown on Figure A on page 7. An in-line
shutoff ball valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply even if the air
hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be
a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tank.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Do not install a female quick coupler on
the tank. Such a coupler contains an air valve that
will allow the tank to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air flow, and therefore tank performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Release the spray gun’s trigger.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tank.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tank, but the output will not exceed
the tank's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tank will not be used at this time, turn
off and detach the air supply, safely discharge
any residual air pressure, and release the
trigger to prevent accidental operation.
Note: It is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge
the tank in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure
that the tank is disconnected and not powered.
