INSTALLATION

HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT

Location of the Air Compressor

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.

Locate the air compressor at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring. NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor.

The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor.

Anchoring of the Air Compressor

Excessive Vibration can weaken the air tank and cause an explosion. The compressor must be properly mounted.

The air compressor MUST be bolted to a solid, level surface. Hardware needed:

4 - Concrete anchors (not supplied)

4 - 3/8” Lag screw to fit concrete anchors (not supplied)

4 - 5/8” Washer (found in parts bag) shims (if needed)

1.Place the air compressor on on a solid, level surface.

2.Mark the surface using the holes in the air compressor feet as a template.

3.Drill holes in the surface for the concrete anchors. Install concrete anchors.
