area.
• Locate the air compressor at
least 12" away from the wall or
other obstructions that will inter-
fere 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 com-
pressor.
