Humid Areas; Noise Considerations - DeWalt DXCMH1393075 Instruction Manual

when spraying paint.
Location
WARNING: Risk of breathing. Exhaust from the gasoline engine
contains deadly carbon monoxide, which is odorless and toxic.
Operate engine only in well ventilated areas.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. In order to avoid damaging
the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than
10º when operating.
Place air compressor at least 4 ft (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 construct total enclosures or baffle
walls. Contact a D WALT service center or call 1-888-895-4549 for
e
assistance.
Anchoring of the Air Compressor
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Excessive vibration can weaken
the air tank and cause an explosion. The compressor must be
properly mounted.
The air compressor MUST be bolted to a level, solid surface.
Remove the compressor from the shipping pallet and place it on
the floor or a hard, level surface. The compressor must be level to
ensure proper lubrication of the pump and good drainage of the
moisture in the tank.
The shipping pallet is not designed as a base for an operating
compressor. Operating the compressor while it is on the pallet
will void your warranty.
To prevent damage to tank and
pump, the tank must be shimmed
so the pump is level within 1/8"
per lineal foot maximum to
distribute oil properly. Fasten to
floor and NEVER force tank feet
to floor without shims when tightening. We also recommend the
use of vibration pads (094-0137) under tank feet (see X).
NOTE: If the compressor is mounted on a vehicle, the vehicle
must be parked on a level surface while operating the compressor.
This is to ensure proper lubrication of the pump and gasoline
engine.
