INSTALLATION
Air compressors should be located in an area that is dry,
clean, well lighted, and adequately ventilated.
DANGER!
A gas engine will produce carbon monoxide; always
provide adequate ventilation! Do not operate engine
in an enclosed area..
Air supplied to the inlet filter must be clean. The compressor
belt guard must not be located closer than 12 inches to a
wall, or 24 inches to another compressor. Additional safety
can be achieved by locating the pulley drive system, with
the guard, next to the wall.
The compressor may only be operated in temperatures
under 104°F and over 32°F. In cold climates, the compressor
should be installed in a heated building.
Proper mounting of the compressor unit is crucial to the safe
operation and longevity of the equipment. The installation
requires a stable, flat and level surface. Satisfactory results
can usually be obtained by mounting the compressor
unit on rubber feet supplied with the unit. Refer to Fig. 2.
Uneven feet drawn tightly to a concrete floor or truck bed
will cause severe vibrations resulting in cracked welds or
fatigue failure. If the unit is mounted to a concrete floor
or truck bed or similar foundation, loosen the lock nut
several turns & lock it with a back-up nut! The customer
