ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Letter references in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identification Key.
This unit is preassembled.
LOCATION INSTALLATION
Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
1. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet. Avoid using
an extension cord; use a longer hose instead.
2. The flywheel side of the compressor must be at least 12 inches (30 cm)
from any wall or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure
sufficient air flow and cooling.
3. In cold climates, locate the compressor in a heated building to reduce
problems with lubrication, motor starting, and freezing of water
condensation.
4. The compressor must be level to ensure proper lubrication of the pump
and good drainage of the moisture in the tank.
OPERATION
PRE-START CHECKLIST
1. Always operate the compressor in a level position to allow the tank to drain.
