Location of the Air Compressor
The manifold assembly does not provide adequate
stability or support for lifting the unit. If the unit must be moved, use
the air tank for lifting.
Operate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The air intake
filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from walls or
other obstructions that could interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor
crankcase and head are designed with fins to provide proper cooling.
The flywheel side of the unit should be placed toward the wall and protected with a
totally enclosed belt guard. The area should allow space on all sides for air
circulation and for ease of normal maintenance. Keep the unit away from areas
which have dirt, vapor, and combustible fumes in the atmosphere which may clog
and gum the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.
If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed in line to remove excessive moisture.
Closely follow instructions packaged with the filter for proper installation. It must be
installed as close as possible to the accessory.
The air compressor should be as near to air outlets as possible in order to avoid
long pipe lines. Do not place the air compressor where heat is excessive.
Do not use an extension cord. To avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor,
use extra air hose instead of an extension cord.
