2.Location

(1)In order to avoid damaging this compressor, do not incline this compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°.

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10° when operating.

(2)Place this compressor at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may prevent proper ventilation. Do not place this compressor in an area:

where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.

where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.

where air temperatures fall below 14°F (–10°C) or exceed 104°F (40°C).

where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into this compressor.

3.Electrical

(1)Power source:

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements specified on the product nameplate.

(2)Use of an extension cord is not recommended because it could cause the motor to overheat. It’s preferable to use additional air hose instead of an extension cord.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of shock or electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not use any type
