INSTALLATION
Assembly (Fig. 1)
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there
are time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
•
air compressor
•
operator and parts manuals
Check the compressor’s serial label to ensure that you have
received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure
rating for its intended use.
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
3. Assemble hose to air outlet (F).
IMPORTANT:
Do not assemble
splitters directly to the air outlet (F).
NOTE:
Assembling quick connect bodies (L) to air outlet (F)
and quick connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and
disconnecting hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies
and plugs are available for purchase from your local dealer or
authorized service center.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING:

Lubrication and Oil
AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor pump was filled
WITH
oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump Oil
under

.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be
compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.
NOTE:
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
•
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated
area.
•
Located the air compressor at least 12” (30.5 cm) away from
the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of
air.
•
Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply
as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring.
NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss
to the motor.
