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.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for voltage and circuit protection requirements of

your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the

branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. If the compressor is

connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses.
