ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
UNPACKING
Remove unit from package and discard all
packaging.

INSTALLATION

How To Set Up Your Unit
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12"
(30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to
allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on
the compressor are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place rags or other
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding
acceptable noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive
noise, use vibration mounts or silencers, or relocate the
unit.
Anchoring of the Air Compressor
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Excessive vibration
can weaken the air tank and cause an explosion.
The compressor must be properly mounted.
The air compressor MUST be properly mounted. The air
compressor MUST be bolted to a level, solid concrete
surface. Use 3/8" lag screws, vibration pads and concrete
anchors
1. Place the air compressor on a level, solid
concrete surface. Make sure the concrete is in
good condition with no cracks or damage.
2. Mark the surface using the holes in the air
compressor feet as a template.
3. Drill holes in the surface for the concrete
anchors. Install concrete anchors.
4. Line-up holes in surface with holes in air
compressor feet.
5. Place the vibration pads between the floor and
air compressor feet, see figure. If needed use
shims to level the unit.
6. Place the 3/8" lag screws through the air
compressor feet, vibration pads and into the
anchors.
7. Torque 3/8" lag screws to 7-10 ft.-lbs
(9.5-13.5 Nm).

Grounding Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. In the event
of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the product.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
