INSTALLATION
Location of the Air Compressor
Exhaust from the gasoline engine contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic. Operate engine
only in well ventilated areas.
The air compressor must be operated in a clean, dry, and
Do not install the air compressor in a location where heat is excessive. If the humidity in the operating area is high, an air filter can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. This type air filter is not provided with this air compressor and must be purchased separately. Closely follow the instructions packaged with the filter for proper installation.
Do not allow the air compressor to get wet if it is installed outdoors.
Piping
Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with com- pressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating,
plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. use only metal pipe for air distri- bution.
If a pipe line is necessary, use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. If piping is over 100 feet long, use the next larger size. Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure to lines before underground lines are buried to make sure all pipe joints are free of leaks.
