PRESSURE VESSELS
Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels
must be equipped with a properly sized pressure relief
valve, pressure gauge, and a tank drain. The drain valve
must be located in the bottom of the air tank(s) to provide
for moisture removal.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge indicates the pressure of the air
in the tank.
FEATURES
When using the compressor for spray painting, isolate the
compressor as far away from the work area as practical,
employing extra air hose rather than an extension cord.
Warranty will be void if a failure is determined to be caused
by dust, dirt or other contaminants.
COMPRESSED AIR DISCHARGE SYSTEM
WARNING!
Discharge piping can exceed 350°F when compressor
is operating. Do not use plastic pipe or lead tin soldered
joints for a discharge line. Do not modify the discharge
line.
WARNING!
Pressure vessels must not be modified, welded on, or
repaired. Such actions may cause property damage,
severe injury, or even death.

INSTALLATION
Air compressors should be located in an area that is dry,
clean, well lighted, and adequately ventilated.
Air supplied to the inlet filter must be clean. The compressor
belt guard must not be located closer than 12 inches to a
wall, or 24 inches to another compressor. Additional safety
can be achieved by locating the pulley drive system, with
the guard, next to the wall.
The compressor may only be operated in temperatures
under 104°F and over 32°F. In cold climates, the compressor
should be installed in a heated building.
Proper mounting of the compressor unit is crucial to the safe
operation and longevity of the equipment. The installation
requires a stable, flat and level surface. Satisfactory results
can usually be obtained by mounting the compressor
unit on rubber feet supplied with the unit. Refer to
Fig. 2
.
Uneven feet drawn tightly to a concrete floor or truck bed
will cause severe vibrations resulting in cracked welds or
fatigue failure.
If the unit is mounted to a concrete floor
or truck bed or similar foundation, loosen the lock nut
several turns & lock it with a back-up nut!
