Thread the intake air filter into the
threaded opening in the side of the
compressor head as illustrated in
Figure 2. Tighten gently with a wrench.

Installation

LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.

paint spray, sandblast areas or any
other source of contamination. This
debris will damage the motor.

performed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must be in accordance with
local codes and national electrical
codes.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from
area to area. Source wiring, plug and
protector must be rated for at least the
amperage and voltage indicated on
motor nameplate, and meet all
electrical codes for this minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
3. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 3. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. This product must be
grounded. In the event of an
