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

The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

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 other containers on or near these openings.
