Air Compressor Location

clean, dry, and well ventilated
area.
• Locate the air compressor at
least 12" away from the wall or
other obstructions that will
interfere with the flow of air.
• Locate the air compressor as
close to the main power supply
as possible to avoid using long
lengths of electrical wiring.
NOTE: Long lengths of electrical
wiring could cause power loss to
the motor.
• The air filter must be kept clear
of obstructions which could
reduce air flow to the air
compressor.

can weaken the air
tank and cause an explosion. The
compressor must be properly
mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted
to a solid, level surface.
