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
Break-In
Procedures
The procedure is required only once, before the compressor

regulator or shut-offvalve
fully open for 15 minutes. Make

in the tank.
After 15
mintues, close the regulator or shut-off valve and allow the
tank to fill to cut-out pressure and then the motor will stop.
Your compressor
is now ready for use.
