ASSEMBLY
Installing Wheels, Handles, Rubber
Foot Strip
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PRO-
VIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY
OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP
AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT
MUSTBE LIFTED, ORPUSHED UPARAMP.
Attach the handle to the compressor saddle by inserting
the handle inside the compressor saddle and lining up
the two bolt holes on each side. Install the four screws,
two on each side. Tighten securely.
.
It will be necessary to brace or support one side
of the outfit when installing thewheels because
the compressorwlll have a tendency to tip.
Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel
using lower bolt hole for 12 gallon units and upper bolt
hole for 25 gallon units.
.
Tighten securely. The outfit will sit level if the wheels
are properly installed.
Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite
wheels. Remove the protective paper strip from the
adhesive backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubber
foot strip to the bottom of leg. Press firmly into place.
Removing Shipping Boards and Installing

INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilated area. The air filter must be kept clear of
obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor should be located at
least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will
interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head and
shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent
overheating.
- a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to your Parts List Manual for the voltage and circuit
protction requirements of your compressor. Use only a
fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch
circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compres-
sor is connected to a circuit protcted by fuses, use only
dual element time delay fuses, as noted in that Service
Bulletin.
