•  Pump only clean, dry air.

•  Operate at 32 °F – 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).

•  Protect the unit from dirt and moisture.

• 

Do not pump flammable or explosive gases or use in an environment that contains such gases.

• 

Protect all surrounding items from exhaust air. Exhaust air can become very hot.

•  Corrosive gases and particulate material will damage the unit. Keep free of any water vapor, oil-based 

contaminants, or other liquids.

•  This pump is oil-less and requires no lubrication.

Correct installation is your responsibility. Ensure 

proper installation conditions and installation clear-

ances for sufficient airflow.

•  Install the compressor in a clean, dry location.

•  Ensure the compressor is protected from dirt, 

moisture, and harmful elements of the outdoor 

environment.

•  Ambient air temperature (readings taken 4” away 

from any surface of the compressor) must not 

exceed 104 °F (40 °C).

•  Ensure that adequate ventilation and cooling air 

(flowing across the compressor) is available to 

keep the compressor from overheating, which can 

cause premature damage.

•  Mount the compressor to a stable, rigid operating 

surface. Using the provided shock mounts will 

reduce noise and vibration.

• 

Kasco offers a simple, durable bracket accessory 

that will allow you to easily mount the compressor 

to a wall, floor, or bench. Please contact your Kas

-

co distributor and ask for the compressor mount 

kit appropriate for the voltage of your compres-

sor (Part #771250 for 120V and Part #771260 for
