INSTALLATION LOCATION: • Locate the compressor in a cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated area with a temperature range between 35° and 105°F. WARNING! Under no circumstances should the air compressor be installed in an area that may be exposed to a dirty, corrosive atmosphere, toxic vapors or volatile fumes. Do not store toxic, volatile or corrosive agents near the compressor. • The intake filter may be remotely located. Enlarge size of intake piping by 1/4” in size for each 10 feet of length.

INSTALLATION (con’t) PIPING: The compressed air distribution system should be of sufficient pipe size to keep the pressure drop between the supply and point of use to a minimum. All piping should be sloped to an accessible drain-point. Outlets should be taken from top of mainline so that moisture will not enter the outlet. OPERATION LUBRICATION: Prior to daily operation, make a habit of checking the oil level in your compressor pump.
