INSTALLATION
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.
Located the air compressor at least 12" away from the wall or other obstruc-
tions that will interfere with the flow of air.
Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to
avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring. Long lengths of electrical wiring
could cause power loss to the motor.
The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to
the air compressor.
