DeWalt D55154 Instruction Manual page 14

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary
to change the cord set.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must
be compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect
that a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air
line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air
is required.
NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil
vapor when spraying paint.
Location
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area
at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions
that will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away
from areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere.
These impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing
inefficient operation.
The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for
proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not
place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber
feet.
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 construct total
enclosures or baffle walls. Contact a D
call 1-800-4-D WALT for assistance.
e
ELECTRICAL
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe
extension cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the
On/Off switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug
from the outlet.
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc.
ensure that the air tank is drained and the unit is secured and
placed on a flat horizontal surface.
NOTE: Use recommended tie down
points (U) when transporting. Use care
when driving so to avoid tipping the
unit over in the vehicle. Damage can
occur to the unit or surrounding items
if unit is tipped.
LIFTING
Always use two people when lifting and
lift from the recommended lift points (V).
MOVING
use caution when rolling compressor so that unit does not tip or
cause loss of balance.
NOTE: Should the unit tip over, hard starting and smoking will
occur due to oil spillage.
