Place air compressor at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from obstacles
that may prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas
that have dirt, vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere which
may clog and gum up the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
HuMID AreAs
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external
condensation on the pump when it cools down and a “milky”
appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture
from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for
longer intervals.
