Attach the handle to the compressor
saddle
by
inserting the handle inside the compressor
saddle
and lining up the bolt holes on each side. Install the
two screws, one on each side. Tighten securely.
It will be necessary
to brace or support one side
of the outfit when installing the wheels because
the compressor
will have a tendency to tip over.
2.
Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel.
Tighten securely. The outfit will sit level if the wheels
are properly installed.
3.
Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite
wheels. Remove the protective strip from the adhe-
sive backed molded foot bumpers. Attach the foot
bumpers to the bottom of leg on each end.
Press
firmly into place.
Location
of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
_entilated area. The air compressor should be located at
least12" 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 openingson the compressor are necessary to
maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags
or other containers on or near these openings.
Lubrication
and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Extension Cords
Use extraair hoseinstead ofan extension cord to avoid
voltagedropand power lossto the motor,and to prevent
overheating,
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•
a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground.
ing plug, and a 3.slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product
•
in good condition
•
no longer than 50 feet
•
12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.
10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
Voltage
and Circuit Protection
Refer to your Parts List Manual for the voltage and circuit
protection
requirements of your compressor.
Use only a
fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the
branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the
compressor
is connected to
a circuit protected
by fuses, use only dual element time
delay fuses, as noted in that Service Bulletin.
Refer to Parts List Manual for your compressor. Certain air
compressor
models can be operated on a 15 amp circuit
if:
1.
Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
2.
Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical
needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3.
Extension cords comply with specifications,
4.
Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or
15 amp time delay fuse.
If any of the above conditions
cannot be met, or if
operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interrup-
tion of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from
a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord
set.
