INSTALLATION
Location of the Air
Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The air filter
must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air
compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall
or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head
and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. If humidity is high, an air filter
can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. Follow the
instructions packaged with the air filter for proper installation.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Extension Cords
To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating to the motor, use extra air hose
instead of an extension cord. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used:
• use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the extension cord.
• make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
• the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
• the minimum wire size is 12 gauge (AWG). (Wire size increases as gauge
number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14
AWG or 16 AWG.)
Installing Wheels, and Rubber Feet (Fig. 2)
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING
THE UNIT UP AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST BE
LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.
It may be necessary to brace or support one end of the
outfit when attaching the wheels and the rubber feet, because the air
compressor will have a
tendency to tip.
1. Place shoulder bolt (C) through
wheel (B) and position it into
the bottom hole of the mount-
ing bracket (protruding hub to
the inside). Thread nut (A)
onto shoulder bolt and tighten
firmly with a 9/16” wrench.
Repeat to install second wheel.
2. Attach the rubber feet (D) to the
bottom of the wheel bracket
using the screws (E) provided.
