Place air compressor at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from obstacles
that may prevent proper ventilation.
Keep unit away from areas
that have dirt, vapor and volatile fumes in the atmosphere which
may clog and gum up the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently
humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge
in the oil, causing
running parts to wear
out
prematurely.
Excessive
moisture is especially
likely to occur
if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external
condensation
on the pump when it cools down and a "milky"
appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture
from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for
longer intervals.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information
regarding acceptable noise
levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts
or silencers, relocate the unit or baffle walls. Contact a DEWALT
service center or call 1-888-895-4549 for assistance.
