ASSEMBLY
It may be necessary to brace or support one end of the outfit when attaching the wheels because the air compressor will have a tendency to tip.
1.Remove the protective paper strip from the adhe- sive backed rubber foot strip. Attack the rubber foot strip to the bottom of the air tank leg. Press firmly into place.
2.The leg bracket on the underside of the air compres- sor tank has 2 holes on each side for mounting the wheels. Place one shoulder bolt through the hole in a wheel. On models with 10" wheels, push the bolt through the TOP hole of the leg bracket. For models with 8" wheels, push the bolt through the BOTTOM hole of the leg bracket. Screw on one hex locking nut. The special locking nut does not turn freely. Tighten the nut firmly until it contacts the tank leg. The outfit will sit level if the wheels are properly installed.
NOTE
The side of the wheel, that the hub protrudes out past the wheel edge, should be bolted to the compressor leg.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PRO- VIDE 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. DO NOT LIFT THE UNIT BY THE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY. THE UNIT CAN BE DAMAGED.
Installing Handle
1.Insert the open end of the handle under the saddle (Fig. 1). Before attaching handle, you may have to pull the open ends of the handle apart so they fit tightly against the side of the saddle. Looking in from the open end of the saddle, position the handle toward the two bent tabs, on the inside walls of the saddle. Slowly push the open ends of the handle onto both tabs at the same time (Fig. 2). Continue pushing the handle into the saddle until the holes on the side of the saddle and handle are in line.
2.Guide the straight end of each retaining clip through the addle hole and both handle holes (Fig. 3).
3.Rotate each retaining clip clockwise and press down until it snaps into place over the pull handle (Fig. 4).
4.If the handle has excessive movement, it is improp- erly installed. Check the following.
A.Are both tabs inside the handle (Step #1)?
B.Does each clip pass through both the saddle and handle (Step #2)?
