INSTALLATION

THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE 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.

It may be necessary to brace or support one end of the outfit when attaching the wheels and the rubber feet, because the air compressor will have a tendency to tip.

1.Place shoulder bolt (C) through wheel (B) and position it into the bottom hole of the mounting bracket (protruding hub to the inside). Thread nut

(A) onto shoulder bolt and tighten firmly with a 9/16” wrench. Repeat to install second wheel.

2.Attach the rubber feet (D) to the bottom of the wheel bracket using the screws (E) provided.

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.)
