Assembling the air compressor unit
WARNING: Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed
air. Serious injury or death could result.
WARNING: Never install a shut-off valve between the
compressor pump and the tank. Personal injury and /
or equipment damage may occur. Never use reducers in
discharge piping.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Over the life of the unit, you will
clean or replace the fi lter as needed.
This air compressor unit can be installed as part of an air
distribution system. Any tube, pipe, or hose used in an air
distribution system must have a pressure rating higher than
150 psi. The minimum recommended pipe size is 3/8 in. Using a
larger diameter pipe is always better.
Install a shut-off valve on the discharge port of the tank to control
the air fl ow out of the tank. Locate the valve between the tank and
any piping system.
Screw the air fi lter (B) onto the pump air intake.
