ASSEMBLY
Installing Wheels, Handles, Molded Foot Bumpers
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.
1.Attach the handle to the compressor saddle by inserting the handle inside the compressor saddle and lining up the bolt holes on each side. Install the two screws, one on each side. Tighten securely.
It will be necessary to brace or support one side of the outfit when installing the wheels because the compressor will have a ten- dency to tip over.
2.Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel. Tighten securely. The outfit will sit level if the wheels are properly installed.
3.Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite wheels. Remove the protective strip from the adhesive backed molded foot bumpers. Attach the foot bumpers to the bottom of leg on each end. Press firmly into place.
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. 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 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.
2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3.Extension cords comply with specifications.
4.Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes inter- ruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to your Parts List Manual for the voltage and circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compressor is connected to
a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses, as noted in that Service Bulletin.
Refer to Parts List Manual for your compressor. Certain air compressor models can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if:
1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a
•in good condition
•no longer than 50 feet
•12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
