Installation
Area
Exhaust air from this unit can be used to
supplement environment heat. Install unit in
separate room then create duct system as
shown in figure 3.
1.
Install compressor in a clean, well
ventilated and well lit area. Make
sure air inlet is away from exhaust
fumes or other toxic, noxious or
corrosive fumes or substances.
Installation area must maintain low
relative humidity and a temperature
range between 35
o
– 110
o
F (2
o
– 43
o
C).
This unit must be kept under
roof and away from rain, snow,
etc.
In environments where
fine dust is common, such as granite or
concrete plants, the compressor MUST be
installed in a separate area with dedicated
ventilation. Failure to provide dust free
operating area voids the warranty.
For
Cold Weather Use:
Open shop vent and close outside
vent to
use exhaust heat from compressor.
For
Warm Weather Operation:
Close shop vent and open outside
vent to
divert exhaust heat outdoors.

2.
Clearances around compressor. At
least:
36 inches sides and back
3 feet in front of compressor.
This compressor unit is
equipped with internal rubber vibration
isolators. To avoid internal pump damage,
DO NOT use an additional rubber mounting
surface when installing compressor.
3.
Make sure compressor base is on a
hard, flat surface
and anchored
securely
.
4.
If installation is above the first story
of a building, use appropriate
vibration insulation.
Tank Sizing Guideline:
Tank capacity must be at least 1.2 gallons
(5.3 L.) for every CFM of air produced by
compressor. This eliminates wear on
internal pump parts.
