OPERATION

Air Compressor Operating Location

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area for operation.The air compressor should be placed at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls or other obstructions that could interfere with airflow.

The Air Compressor Pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. DO NOT place rags or containers on or near these openings. Keep the Air Filter clear of obstructions that could reduce airflow to the air compressor.

Operate the air compressor with unit located on a flat surface to ensure that it receives proper lubrication.

If you have any problems with operation of your air compressor, call air compressor helpline at 1-800-743-4115. If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and serial number from the data tag available.
